Semi thread hijack: Say that's another one! I almost feel useful! Why's the flywheel different?

The studs ensure you've max thread engagment without attempting to push the plate away from the engine. Also I think at least one of the studs will foul the flexplate if screwed in too far Lastly I think it helps allign the whole thing when assembling the unit. The starter motor is as you...

It fits! :pepper: Trying not to look too surprised :thumbsup: You may need to space the starter motor back so the it doesn't engage with the flex plate at rest (which mine did). Oh and shave the heads down on the starter motor bolts which I think you've found out will foul already.

Tyre data is really hard to get hold of but Avon provide some for their racing tyres: http://www.avonracing.co.uk/sites/default/files/STAB%20RIG%20GRAPHS.XLS From this you can clearly see the tyre with 4 degrees of camber in it is generating the largest side force when at max slip angle, so...

Do you mean high quality or fancy looking? These are high quality but are $50+ each and don't look so fancy...

A guy the local car club here lost a good sum to a eBay scam out of the UK (apparently) on a Lotus twin cam motor. He quizzed the guy at length on details of the motor and got good and detailed answers, which made him think it was legit. He still got scammed and as far as I know no money has...

Now I've read some of that thread i want to know what happened at the Texas mile?

The big fin makes me think LMP, but its not... So I am confused, what class are you look at?

From my experience having lived in the USA for 5 years (raised in UK and now living in Australia through choice). When people in the USA say "tax the rich" most people think that means them personally, or if it doesn't mean them personally now it will mean them one day, because everyone in the...

Hi nicola, The only corvette parts in there are the from the upright to the wheel. The geometry, A arms etc are my design.

I watched the doco on a recent Qantas flight, afterwards felt pretty dark on Mr Chapman etc. However upon reflection I think these things need to be put into the context of the time, safety in general was not regarded in the same way it is today. If you look at the statistics in the link below...

It possible to get serious NA HP from a 1UZ-FE, it just takes cash to do... There's some others on YouTube but here's one for example: This is Toyota's LMP1 engine which at the moment looks to be the best petrol engine in LMP1. I don't think it has much in common with the 1UZ though ;)

Two words: Crushed Velvet (Purple). Edit: Even better a furry one, then you can pet it at the stop lights.

Hi Martin, I would have thought it would be exactly the same as building a clubman, legality wise. I'd ask the question on: Sign In - OzClubbies Also there appears to an ICV building club or some such getting started in VIC, you should find the details on ozclubbies, hopefully if the ICV...

BTW in case you've yet to see it this is the best read on TIG welding I've yet to find: Miller - Resources - TIG Handbook Awesome project BTW.

Hi Chris, I find gas flow of 6 L/min to be enough, 12 seems to be a lot IMHO, unless you are working somewhere drafty. It's very obvious when air is getting to the weld

Live timing: 24 Heures du Mans 2011 − Live Timing They are in the GTEAM category and look like they need to find a few seconds, which I hope they do, 1 Ford v 4 Ferraris.

Hi Stevo, If you could let us know a bit more about the intention of the project then it might be easier for people to point you in the right direction for data. Is this for an art - design or Engineering project for example? BTW there are open source laser scanning solutions such as: DAVID 3D...
