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

    • 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)
