Spotted Soarer sitting sedately:what happened after we left?

And did A. get home safely,and without overheasting issues?

there was a small team of guys playing at the pool table behind us Jayce im sure you'd remember, well the bald guy that was there that was plastered (far more so after you left) he was the one theat owned the soarer. we all left at the same time (seing as they had closed lol) then he was revving the crap out of it next to me in the car park as i (and ed) got in my car. so i pulled out and he immediatly jumped out behind me and caught up to me even b4 we got out of the car park. so as i was taking ed home and i didnt want any risk to myself my car or god forbid OUR mechanic, so i pulled over straight away and waved him past, them waited a few secs before leaving after him and letting some distance get beetween us. he gunned it back toward qbn but we saw him pulled over on the side of the road with his indicator out, ignored him and just kept going and he didnt chase.

car was great on the way home, didnt even reach the middle of the temp gauge (havnt ever seen it do that since ive had the car) i bought a radiator cap from a servo immediatly after dropping ed off, and all should be sweet!!! so thanksyou to richard for racing out after i got there to make sure i was ok, thankyou to Jayce for telling me what i needed to get and helping with the coolant and topping ait all up etc. thanks to ed for offering his thoughts and advice on the situation, and thankyou to everyone for being genuinly concerned for me, its hugely appreciated!!!!!

anyway im going to put on my new rad cap, polish the car for the formal and enjoy my day, have a great one everyone and thanks to all once again!

end essay

another great night, good to see a few more people show up this time

    • 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)
