Meggala,

Do you have suggestions on any car park large enough and empty enough on weekends to safely practice drifting? seems to be quite a time to practice during this wet season...

please keep discussions of this type (ie the exact location and obvious references to illegal driving) to pm's or emails.

if anyone knows of such a place they can mention that they do and ask that ppl pm them for details.

rs73, i'm not picking on you, it's just we have to be careful of what we say from now on as we have an image to uphold.

thanks

My bro lost his lic this week so now i have a second car Hooray!

Its an 84 corrola and man does it go hard. I never driven a car that was so predictable while drifting in the wet. Proly cause no lsd but its rear wheel drive.

What a great car it uses 5l/100k and i can actually get it in my spot at work(unlike the god dam low as alll hell supra)

So instead of spending 80 bucks a week on fuel to and from and parking now i spend like 10-20 ooooh yeah:) The thing cost $800 and have had it for 18mnths and only replaced 2 tyres at 30 a piece. ECONOMY ECONOMY ECONOMY

    • 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)
