wouldn't that be for the person who manages to lose the most amount of positions before the first corner?

and how about a Gympie Award, for the most bogan car?

Your wagon would be a contender.

the webber award should go to the person (male or female) who grows the bigest beard during the race

or the person who can throw up in their helmet the most, while still being able to race. or just the person with the biggest chin.

totally unfair. that was cold tyre's fault.

speaking which:

* Cold Tyres award - for the most avoidable crash. Also known as the "No-one told me to pump the brakes after a pad change award sponsored by David Besnard"

Chris, good idea entering under a psuedonym.

hahahaha, i like that idea

what about the dick johnson award, for the car that manages to hit a rock on the track and get totalled.

or the 92 bathurst award, for the person who is able to crash their car but manage to still win the race thanks to a perfectly timed red flag

or the craig lowndes award for the car that can flip the most times off the side of the track. there could be a similar mark webber based award for the car that gets the most air time while flipping.

or the hamilton award, for the person who can take out the most people in a season

and the vettel award for the most annoying prick

Marulan? Ugh! So no screamers on the track or in Barrons corporate caravan :(

Also means I'd have to leave my neighbours at home... I don't think the chick would like what they do to quieten down a noisy bit of kit...

Can I enter a rotary at this event and get a trophy to prove I’m a real WANKR, I will drop oil everywhere, blow big flames and drive up and down the pits revving the crap out if it.

awards for dickheads reving rotaries in the pits for no reason will be given out

consiting of a elbow to the throat multiple times

:unsure: Brian everyone else in this thread was joking :unsure:

:P

nasty.

....the vettel award for the most annoying prick

I'm pretty sure that award can be safely presented before the event.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSP male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSP reducing bush?

      I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use

      I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.

      You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.

      ..this is the current state of that port. I appreciate the info help (and the link to the Earls thing @Duncan). Though going by that it seems like 1/4 then BSP'ing it and using a bush may work. I don't know where I'd be remote mounting the pressure sender... to... exactly. I assume the idea here is that any vibration is taken up by the semiflexible/flexible hose itself instead of it leveraging against the block directly. I want to believe a stronger, steel bush/adapter would work, but I don't know if that is engineeringly sound or just wishful thinking given the stupendous implications of a leak/failure in this spot. What are the real world risks of dissimilar metals here? It's a 6061 Aluminum block, and I'm talking brass or steel or SS adapters/things.
