What a weekend!!!

Huge thanks to Chris for providing an amazing car once again. Feels great to have finally won after three years of hard work.

Cant belive the car died on the last run again its as if it knows its the last event and wants to remind us how much we have tortured the poor thing. Was interesting to drive on the last run with all 330kw's going out one rear wheel lol.

The weekend was great fun and had a ball with the SAU gang. Everyone drove amazingly and Ryans 56 at Haunted hills is WOW.

I have started to upload some vids thanks to Bec filming.

Enjoy

LOL, not really. It was simply amazing driving from Ryan to get those times. Obviously he has that little car of his dialled in as it did a 51 at PI with not that much power...and friggin HSDs which by all reports are ordinary. Perhaps the reason why he struggles at Sandown, being so bumpy the HSDs just plain suck

hehe, ive decided to run a strip of that reflective stuff the beams use down the side of my car so it starts timing when the rear passes it :D feel free to help with your water bottle at the other end.

i cant imagine the shocks making that much difference around the corners at sandown. they would probably help with braking though. of course there is more time up the back, i honestly think there is a 24 in it but meh, im just looking forward to winton!

    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
