New Perth Import Only Show....


Recommended Posts

Hmmmm..... I would also have to say that Good Trade stalls with good deals ( the word good there is important ) is a good start. A nice selection of driving events perhaps, a selection of different cars ( RICE and PERFORMANCE ) and of course some nice girls to ogle at :uh-huh:

Cheers

everyones idea's sound good but...

1> no rice?

errr how can anyone CHOOSE what rice is and what isn't, personally id classify all cars at these cars shows RICE if i had too, you barely see one with any sort of street cred etc.. but there are the few though i must admit.

2> racing events/drift

its hard to find a venue that will let you cut it up, the last autosalon at belmont almost ruined it for Norbert whom is now holding his Max Action events there, no excessive wheelspin etc and they have scouts there looking out for these things.

drift, you need a HUGE area.. none of this powerslide crap.

+insurance for the lot which would be a pain.

3> motorvation style event for imports would be unlikely aswell, there wouldnt be the same support from the import guys to do what the _TREVS_ do. To show your support for the import scene, how about entering this year? :D

I have a few more things to pick at but ill leave it.

Personally im not a fan of car shows, you only need to go once every few years or so to see the same friggin car except this time it has a pod filter on it or BMW M3 mirror.. whooop deee doo

other than that.. sounds good, good luck with it. :)

i agree with radium, most of you people are idealists but goto eb realists at times. :)

there are virtual no areas for a drift venue bar barbagello and collie, and i know barbagello doesnt like it. Insurance would cost the earth.

Now motorvation rocks, esp this years with mix of imports and domestics going at it head to head. thats how it should be. Sure an import only event would be nice thats thats what u guys have 4 6 and rotary comp for :)

Bring on the rivalry i say, especially when i want to bring my Project car out to play with its mix of domestic grunt and japo ideals of making power.. 1 day :D

There should be excells with huge bodykits, and big stereos, tv's and shit. Lancers with ralliart stickers all over 'em. Accents with checker plate on the floor. That type of thing would be sweet. They should have a comp to see who's boot rattles and falls to shit first by there subs that weigh more than the car. See who cut there springs the shortest, so there 1/4'' exaust scrapes on spped bumps. And they should hand ya a sledge hammer or two when you pay your entry so you can walk round and smash the F#ck out of these pieces of shit. :)

to annoy the gf of course... she's the one with the accent :)

'spose I shouldnt bag it, it got me to work for over a week :)

Yeh, your right about slowing down an already sluggish car, but I mean come on, there are some people out there that LIKE having a show car (read: slow car) and not a 1/4mi. king.

Either way, makes no difference to me - Each to thier own I say :uh-huh:

Thought I'd weigh into this argument. Drift as a spectator concept is absolutely unworkable in conjuction with any Perth Exhibition venue - possibly with the exception of the Fremantle Passenger Terminal. Insurance is impossible to get and would cost upwards of 5k for the day. So as much as I would like to see it, I dont think its an option.

I'm all for a properly organised show without all the sh*t and glitter cars that attend the other 2 shows. I'd be quite happy to be a judge and put a few cars in

    • 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.
    • 100% the factory sender is tapered, that is how it seals (well, that and teflon paste or tape)
    • Thanks folks - I've saved a few links and I'll have to think of potential cable/adapters/buying fittings. First step will be seeing if I can turn the curren abortion of a port into something usable, then get all BSPT'y on it. I did attempt to look at the OEM sender male end to see if it IS tapered because as mentioned you should be able to tell by looking at it... well, I don't know if I can. If I had to guess it looks like *maybe* 0.25 of a mm skinnier at the bottom of the thread compared to where the thread starts. So if it is tapered it's pretty slight - Or all the examples of BSPT vs BSPP are exaggerated for effect in their taper size.
    • Have a look at that (shitty) pic I posted. You can see AN -4 braided line coming to a -4 to 1/8 BSPT adapter, into a 1/8 BSPT T piece. The Haltech pressure sender is screwed into the long arm of the sender and factory sender (pre your pic) into the T side. You can also see the cable tie holding the whole contraption in place. Is it better than mounting the sender direct to your engine fitting......yes because it removes that vibration as the engine revs out 50 times every lap and that factory sender is pretty big. Is it necessary for you......well I've got no idea, I just don't like something important failing twice so over-engineer it to the moon!
    • Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.
