Tanks half way, still leaking. f**k it, I'll buy another tank. How much should I expect to pay to get one fitted?

Wouldn't that sort of shit get picked up at roadworty time?

I paid about $150 to have my fuel tank taken out / put back in from memory. It's not a huge job; unlike my sausage, which is huge.

lol. I guess he won't be 'required' any more to babysit.

Need some footwear suggestions from you doodz, because I am in need of shoes desperado-ly. I need good, durable walking shoes for my travels, capable of being walked in 5-10 + km a day.

Suggestions?

Damn, I've missed another argument. I'm getting slack these days.

RE: the weight saving thing...I always fill up a full tank, but my car accelerates faster when it has a 1/4 tank vs full. It's going to be more noticeable with a light car that is running near standard torque. If you can't notice the difference between full and near empty tanks in that sort of car, you're probably numb to it. I wouldn't notice 10kg...but if you're doing the whole weight reduction thing, everything you do adds up. There's a reason they leave the electric windows out of cars like the Lotus Elise. In improved production we used to change the panel bolts for lighter ones just to save a few kg throughout, perspex windows etc. People pay a fortune just to save 3kg because in racing you do anything you can to get an advantage.

Street cars and traffic lights are a different story...I think there's more to gain from other things like practicing launches and gear changes, because so many people on the street can't drag for shit. But again, you combine it all and everything adds up to make your car a bit quicker.

    • 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)
