Now I'm lost :) Don't make my brain hurt while I'm working on the wiki...bad things might happen!

I knew SOMEONE else would agree!

Ohh thems fighting words!

http://www.rollaclub.com/board/index.php?a...=si&img=434 Slanty and flat side by side. (Brown ones flat, other two are slanty)

Are you talking about a 3K-B head or a 3K bigport head?

Oh too easy. Cheers |blink|

Any chance of a part number Mark?

lol, I can understand how much of a pain it is trying to remember which ones you've replied to when every single PM is titled the same |blink|

I can assure you its not your inbox :D

What the hell is he on this week? Oh yes, more good shite! PM system will now track messages that you've replied to. For that to happen you need to hit the "reply" button and once the reply is sent the system will mark the original message as 'replied'. Enjoy!

Messages goone. Appears the malware sites already been taken offline. If anyone did click it, virus scan now.

Just a pm spambot. Xandderrman or something like that. I'll strip all the measages from the database as soon as I get a chance. More antispam mods to come by the looks...

Just delete it. It's not coming from any official source. I'd suggest it's probably a spammer and the link will be malware. Rollaclub does NOT scan you for viruses AT ALL, ever. Do not click any links if you're not expecting them. I'll investigate when I get home.

Jalopnik has a good opinion piece on the core of the problem: http://jalopnik.com/5464315/beige-bites-ba...lding-dull-cars

Do you still think its worth splitting up the sections with the filter now? i.e. JiPs idea.

;)

You need to stress less JiP!

Yep. I didn't really like chemistry at the time but I do love all kinds of science now. If only I loved it half as much then as I do now.

I always thought the idea there was that you get a shitload more pressure out of a compressed nitrogen cylinder than a air compressor? There's something like 3000psi plus in a nitrogen cylinder. I imagine you have regulators but putting 300psi up the arse of a high end rattle gun is going to get that wheel off faster than compressed air at say 120psi or 180psi. I imagine the dry nature of the nitrogen helps preserve the expensive guns too?

Well an explosion is just "a rapid increase in volume and release of energy in an extreme manner". It doesn't necessarily have to involve combustion, but I get what you're saying. Thats the way I read it too, that they were saying because nitrogen (N2, i need sub script damnit) is inert there won't be an explosion from combustion. But I suspect what they meant is that it wont degrade the side walls and cause a catestrophic failure (explosion). This is usually caused by other factors anyway such as low tyre pressure, manufacturing errors etc. Tyres CAN explode though combusion under VERY rare circumstances though, such as after contacting powerlines. 10psi increase means the starting (cold) tyre pressure is probably incorrect. In circuit racing we look for around a 4psi pressure increase, then we know our tyre pressures are in the ballpark. Its not like nitrogen doesn't expand with heat as well. Probaby the biggest factor in the extra expansion rate using air is the water vapour. To me that is the ONLY advantage of nitrogen over air, that it is DRY. Because the water vapour levels from different air sources will vary the expansion rates will vary too. If you spent the effort drying air out I see no reason why it wouldn't perform very similarly given that air is 78% nitrogen. Its far easier just to use compressed nitrogen cylinders though. Even so, if you are using a fairly dry air source (say a compressor with a refrigerator dryer) I see absolutely no benifit in road cars using nitrogen. I can understand race teams wanting a super dry gas for race tyres because it helps remove another variable when tuning the car. But you'd have to be right up there in terms of pushing to the extreme. I can't think of any of the club racers I know that use nitrogen. Hehe yea, but it made for an awesome debate ;)

ROFL, my bad :D Glad you guys like it. There is one minor bug I did discover (but I didn't create). If you set a filter, go to page 2 (or any page) then back to page 1 it wipes the filter. This is a bug (well...unintended feature) with the forum software itself.

Well each extra proton pulls the electron cloud in progressively closer until you start a new cloud. Atoms are weird and cool. It does have a lower density than oxygen though.

QFT Whats saving their tyres is correct tyre pressures. So the nitrogen doesn't leak at the same rate or something? The same effect can be achieved just by checking your tyre pressures half regularly.

Yea no worries. I'm not terribly concerned about one off designs people are making ;)
