We went to the Golden Slipper at Rosehill instead....saw the greatest mare in the world easily win the BMW (kenny do you sponsor that race?) what an awesome sight from an absolute champion.

I'm the one who needs sponsors, not the other way around!

Sanchez, I am saying that it made 770 hp .. but not for long since Theo unfortunately popped the engine.

It popped 'cause somone forgot to do up the harmonic balancer didn't they! This meant it lost belt drive for the dry sump pump and picked up on the bottom end.

But your right.......... I'm glad I don't have to pull it out all the time.

Theo's got wing nuts on it now!

WSID carry on relentlessly about their WORLD CLASS FACILTY and how forking awesome it's supposed to be but they still don't have a carpark that withstands two days of rain.

World Class Facility my left one!

Current weather and forecast looks grim. I don't even think my car will be able to make it for a display at the show and shine, let alone racing. Hopefully the weather gets better by Thursday, otherwise I would imagine that it will be canned for the same reason as last time.

can't see them running the event....no spectators no profit....cannot see them running event at a loss, they are drag racers not circuit wannabe's

Current radar imagery of any rain in the Sydney area. WSID is located at the junction of the North-south line and the inner circle (just above the second "r" in "Parramatta").

Abflug i believe i saaw your car at CRD as well what sort of power did she make if you don't mind me asking.

Cheers,Ben.

PS.also have you done many mods and what turbo's are you running?

It made 414awkw . At the moment it has a T88 but that will be coming off soon when the new engine is ready. The car is basically as it came from Japan so we dont know whats inside the engine. The RB20 airflow meters were maxed out so it couldnt be pushed any more.

    • 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)
