was watching top gear on tv last night and they had coulthard farking around in a 05 RBR car and man they look and sound great. I do miss the old V10 days. they were a sweet engine. The car looked great too. the cars look a bit cheap these days by comparison. :cool:

Probably old news to most now, but the other night I watched an Autocar vid where Chris Harris drove an '06 Red Bull at Silverstone and reckoned it would waste a Veyron with only 1/5 throttle. First time he really gets on it he says "it makes the Buggatti feel like a Mazda 2!"

if you can turn passenger laps in that thing for $99 count me in.

in other news I will be in europe later this year and currently deciding between Spa (end of aug) or Monza (early sept). Monza will be easiest as it already tees up with some plans and I'll be in italy at the time. But Spa is just another level all together but it would mean having to reschedule things a bit and mean going to belgium which is a bit of a punishment really. lol. anyone seen "In Bruge"? lol.

currently leaning towards monza. it will be cool to see all the tifosi out in force. I wonder if any of them still have love for schumacher?

on the plus side if I do monza it means before it I can scoot over to germany and get some laps in on the nurburgring. yeah baby!

oh, and I've just made the choice. fark watching at spa. I'd rather fang something around the 'ring instead. I may even forget going to the monza gp too and use the money for another day of ring and then just watch it in a bar in italy somewhere.

very excited about doing the ring. just need to decide what to drive?

    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm. 
    • Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
