RE: that LeMons race get heaps of press lately...

Read the regs inc the fine print......

$880 per driver. Min 5 drivers. $4400.

Then they charge $75 per pit crew member, and $30 each for anyone else.

$1000 car that needs a professional cage, race seat, 6 point harness, fuel cell.....

Drivers must have 3 layer suits or single layer and underwear, Hans device and helmet.

Add basic maintenance stuff to the car, tyres, brakes, fuel, and whatever else, get there, stay there, and come home.

Not so cheap now

So probably paying like 2k each once you add all that up / mods etc (and the need to find 4 others that are willing to drop 2k on a shitbox rally basically)

2k would get you a decent sim racer for home :P

Edited by UNR33L

Add the fact no one will actually be racing in a car they bought for $500; impossible to prove any sale didn't occur for that

apparently its not a receipts thing, its a estimate value thing. like, even if you didnt pay for things, its value is determined (somehow)

Think I'd have more fun buying a good set of semis + pads and hitting up PI on a normal trackday.

Speaking of which, havent seen you at the track ever.... get out there with the e85 drag monster you keep talking about

Calder or Heathcote?

I really want to do PI but Haunted Hills doesn't look half bad either. When is the next of either (can't make SAU Vic June PI)?

Edit: scratch that, I don't want to bin my daily until GTR is on the road.

PI is Sunday June 14th (Also 13th, but we're not attending the untimed "testing" Saturday)... Check the Motorsport calendar in the VIC section for the other upcoming Championship Round days :yes:

I won't be attending this round anyway... Things escalated in the garage the other night

I come along with you to one of the other rounds

I really need a race seat though

Sunroof + 6'2 + helmet don't work with the stock seat

Got the opposite problem... Try driving a car that used to be owned by the tallest hipster I know, who put lowered seat rails in it, so I need to stretch to get my legs to push the clutch all the way down.

We swap cars?

If you had the stock rails you would be even further away from the firewall.

The problem is your legs

    • 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
