errr dunno how but I beat one last night at a TLGP...not teh fly by either...

He was probably using 1st gear, 10% throttle and thinking to himself:

"Look at that kid in his $15,000 car trying to race me mamoru.gif

I'm going to go home, sip on some $5000 cognac, smoke a $2000 cigar and make love to my 18 year old nubile young wife"

think i saw a bently in parking on victoria ave chatswood on the weekend was mesmorised.

can somebody show me the bently logo or a pic of the new ones

looked like a REALLY beefy 350z kinda thing

was actually wondering what they thought they were doing parking a million dollar car in the middle of chatty though

My old man went shopping for a conti GT... they are ****ing cheap at around $280k from memory (note, an Arnage T is around $600k).

They are majorly pimpin... but handle like a fridge on a cloud of air and they aint that quick at all. I'd guess a low 13 1/4 mile.

Too slow for his liking, so he picked up a cheaper, and a helluvalot faster AMG E55

I doubt the old retired guy who would have been the owner could give a toss about traffic light grand prix's!!

was actually a youngish guy (mid to late 20's)

I heard his induction noise and engine starting to roar. even if he wasn't full throttle he still lost teh TLGP...:)

I thought the car when running economy the Turbo were shut off. When pressing the Sport mode the turbo is activated. I watched this on Top gear review and i think this is how it goes.

You've just described all turbo cars off boost.

The Continental GT is one of those superdooper cars like a Murcielago or Vanquish - sounds like a Supermarine Spitfire on the road.

    • R34DE as in R34 with an RB25DE? So did you get this? Or you planning to?  I'm not really sure what you're saying. 
    • 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)
