...Bueller had a MGB mocked up as a 250GT California Spider  

Deadset???? An MGB, they did a great job then. Alfa Spyder perhaps but MGB? Am i right in saying they did a good job, or am i just clueless whrn it comes to spotting kit cars:(Maybe i have to watch it again:thumbsup:

Oh and the Lotus from Pretty Woman...movie sucked but Espirit was awesome:)

Good call :D  

Ferris Buelers Day Off, was it a Daytona or a 250GT?

'61 Ferrari 250 GT California replica (based on a Corvette)

Miami Vice - Testarossa & Daytona Spyder (based on a Corvette)

Cobra was a '49 Mercury Coupe

Steve McQueen's GT390 owns Nick Cage's GT500!

McQueen also has the Porsche 917K and the Ferrari 512S in "Le Mans".

I think in Vanilla Sky there's a replica Ferrari 250GTO.

Troy Troy Troy the only car is Eleanor out of Gone in 60 Seconds ... oh and Angelina Jolie isn't half bad in it either :)

1967 Shelby GT 500

Bad Boys 2 - Ferrari 550 (i think)

FnF - RX7 (vinnys car)

    • 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
    • Neg, the top one is actually for the front. The sizes are 18x10.5 +18 and 18x11 +32.   I measured many times but I'm sure I'll have problems as this is the thread for problems.
    • Just one thing; tapping tapered threads is tricky. Taps are always tapered and you would generally run it as far as you can, but with a tapered thread you have to stop much sooner otherwise the wide part of the taper will run in too far and you will have to thread the sensor in too far too as well (possible that it will never make a good seal) BTW nice wide wheels, I guess the top one is for the back!
    • Welp, good to know. Will have to wait awhile until steady hands with drills and taps are available. In other news, these just arrived! I will weigh them for posterity. Edit: 11kg each (or 10.9/11.1 depending on what my scale decides over multiple tests, the 18x11 don't seem to weigh noticeably any more than 10.5)
