hahaha he should :P I'll even help him with any and all work that gets done to it! (inclusive of the repairs needed). Replace the damaged radiator with a much more efficient alloy item, and add an oil cooler. There, racetrack ready.

swap him the taxi for it!

lol I'd do it.

Cmon guys great idea group-buy my car and share it on the track! IT'S f**kING ENGINEERED FOR CHRIST'S SAKE DON'T MAKE ME PART IT OUT

PROBLEM SOLVED.

Problem being that I wouldn't keep it, I'd just sell it immediately (for a steal, $10k lol).

Actually that might still be difficult, it's a farken auto.

And to avoid them I'll need to use the brakes more, given the lack of engine braking.

Come on someone take this thing away, I don't care what you do with it - track it, part it out, burn it...whatever. I just really could NOT be f**ked stripping it myself. Writing up a spreadsheet now with parts and price list, there's far too many things lol. However the potential sale value of everything is pretty surprising.

I'm going to start gathering interest on who legitimately wants to buy what parts off this car soon. Want to know I can get rid of most of it quickly before I dive in to pulling it apart, particularly since I have NOWHERE to store all the shit I rip off it.

Turbo and injectors are pretty much spoken for. Not confirmed on coilovers. Wheels have interest from a couple of people. Otherwise as far as I can think, everything else is up for grabs.

Refer to the for sale thread for list of all aftermarket parts on the car, otherwise just assume everything else is still stock standard and up for grabs. EVERYTHING MUST GO.

Without sounding like a cockhead, I won't be doing things silly cheap. I won't be asking top-dollar for these parts, but I'm not just giving them away. I don't like making huge losses on things which is the only reason I haven't tried selling this car many times in the past. I don't even want to lose such a ludicrous amount of money now lol.

PM me if you want something in particular, once I've gathered interest and can commit to stripping it (give up on selling it lol) I'll start another thread with prices giving ACT or close-by peeps preference.

Oh, I'm never gonna get over the driving side of owning a performance car...but I'm beyond done with spending of money constantly lol

I've got a VW Caddy as my daily. 75kw at the fly, 1.6L TDi. I think I know how boring a normal car is to drive :P

those caddys go great for what they are. a boring car is an early 90's auto corola with 300k and and semi shagged gearbox.

Ah, the difference there though is that I could drive the carolla like a bat out of hell with no regard for the abuse it would receive....still making it at least *half* fun.

    • Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.
    • 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 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP
    • 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.
