DezertEagle should be fine as long as you have not boosted it too hard. Run some octane booster to be safe, but drags is usually no probs, circuit racing brakes and temps go up and more need to have good car and set up. See you out there.

OK I put rego on the zed but the plates don't weigh that much to worry about, and show me a registered car at the drags that runs a cat? Be interesting to run Theo and get him to disconnect his front drive shaft.

Also Paul my boss never lets me go but does not stop me and you only have one kid. A cute one too. Being cheeky again if you can make it, your beast will be the king and toughest looking car there, but that's only my opinion. Plus if not aloud out too much this is the night. I hope weather will be ok.

I noticed a little bit of wheel spin in the wet today and checked my tyres. The rear left is basically bald, how tough are the pits check at EC? I dont want to waist my time just to get rejected at the pits.

John has convinced me to give the new R34 a run this Wed, providing the Boss and work allow me to be there, I will come down for a run.

careful mate you don't want to enjoy it and start batting for the wrong team :D

We need another trackday....soon....

the only bald tyre at the drags is a slick, you would be wasting your time and money racing on that. Put a ad in the wanted section to see if anybody has something more suitable to race on. Paul...DIRTgarage

What size tyre are you after Paul ?

I have 1 265x35x18 about 80% tread from memory, let me know if you are interested .

Paul if your engine falls out then I might listen otherwise get there, and put your lipstick back in your purse. Or was some wimp from work posting for you?

LOL...talk it up funboy:) ...you wont be cracking wise when you jump in your car for a run and you see a horses head in the passenger seat...uh, err drag queens take these things personally

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
