yep fine just a bump on the head from the hans/helmet

check out the thread he has posted some in car footage... looks like a brake failure of some sort... and then some brain fade as he still tried to turn into the corner with waaay too much speed... hit the sand sideways and the rest is pretty evident

why does that track have a massive drop off before the sand trap?!?!?!?!

yeah check out the aston martin.....

for some reason my embed for viseos does not work, can someone email me the code? save me posting links (i reckon chrome is the culprit)

yeah it's a bit dump. the vid of the aston martin shows what happens when you hit it. you get airborne and miss most of the gravel trap.

here's the incar from the zed. you can see as the crash starts he hits the lip and gets airborne and is just going to fly over most of the gravel trap regardless of whether or not it cartwheeled.

and you can see this crash at the same spot starts almost the same way. car hits the lip, gets airborne and misses half to two thirds of the sand trap and ends up in the the wall. having the sandtrap fall away from the track edge like that just doesn't work. nor does the lip before you hit it.

the astons flight does look quite graceful though... lol.

lol, same time! d'oh.

that BMW crash is nasty. shame too as the driver did all the right things, he countersteered enough to keep the car straight, slowed down as was motoring along happily until he hit the stunt ramp which just completely fked his day.

How could the safety design elements of that track be ok'd by any governing body worth their salt is beyond me......

quite seriously though, how they'd have/still have public liability insurance with run-offs like that is beyond me

      Just don't use ChatGPT or any other artificial stupidity for the equivalent of googling. Their demonstrated inability to discriminate reality from hallucination should be enough to make them totally untrusted. LLMs don't know anything and cannot think to even the smallest extent. They are just predictors of the next word, and that should never be confused with capability.

      Another little story of weird shit happening

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I think, given the usage model described in the OP, I'd never ever experience the wonders of the 400kW upgrade. What I really need is boost from 2000rpm and probably no more than 260-270rwkW. But I suspect that the highflow is not actually the turbo for that purpose, so I may in fact need to get a G25 or 30 or something right sized and very spooly. We shall see after it is tuned. I've had to back the boost and boost ramp off to stop the thing from pinging since the highflow went on, so I've been almost living the NA life for 9 months now! Injectors are recently in hand. AFM is in hand. Dyno is fixed. Just need to clear a queue of f**king Supras out of the way (and probably fit my new gearbox). So....some time this year? Lol.

      braided lines for the turbos

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      For what I gather is a Sunday/summer car....braided is fine. You're not going to be left without a vehicle and you have plenty of time for inspection/maintenance. Oof. I wouldn't use them that way. They can probably handle the temperature** but the internal corrugations means that their flow characteristics are a bit shit. Lots of extra friction and pressure loss. Makes them flow like the next pipe size down. ** They are stainless, and the stainless can usually be at least something like 304L, which is pretty good at higher temperatures (unlike 316L, which I would use for a wrt/corrosive environment, but not a particularly hot environment). But the welding needs to be top notch. And even then, because you usually need at least one cone-seat end on them (because you can twist the hose and do up both ends at the same time unless one of them is a union) they can be prone to coming loose with heat cycles.

      I don't have the OEM oil feed lines though and the turbo-wraparound line is torn, only has water. My plan is to get replacements for these and just connect a braided line to there. And make sure it's leak free. Hoses like these are also sometimes used to connect external wastegates, so for an EGR I think you're good using them.

      Unpeeling the Orange

      Alright I understand. The most likely case is probably gonna be that I just keep the OEM unit in the car as long as it works.
