Gordon Murray, designer of the McLaren F1, has just come out with his new supercar, and successor to the F1, and it has a NA Cosworth V12 and a MANUAL TRANSMISSION. Never thought I'd see another supercar with a stick shift. Listening to him speak in this video, I love where his head is at with designing the car, and the experience he wants it to deliver. Excited to see more of this one.

Do females go thru a mid life crisis around 40ish?
My GF recently has gone haywire. Now she's dressing like she's 20 and listening to the weekend (sp?) and the Taylor Swift.
It's like the 90s and 00's never existed (used to be her fave era for country music, as well as pop).
...is this normal?
If it's got tits or tires, it's gonna cost ya!Comment

Just watched that too. Im quite excited by this but also the T.43 he is coming out with. Supposed to be a car us regular folks can afford. Think Lotus Elise if Gordon had designed it and made it more usable. Should be a hit and if its anything like what I think it will be, I will probably go crazy trying to find a way to buy itSimon

I do know that their sex drive supposedly goes up in their 40s so maybe she wants it. We will need pics of before and after to determine if thats the goal

Aluminum? They also have zinc coated and stainless steel, but the little hand held gun barely does 8mm steel (we use all steel in the race cars).
On the subject of rivets, I have always use Arrow brand tool, never had an issue. Well, the one that's about 3yr old crapped the bed with a stripped mandrel, so grabbed old faithful (about 15yr old) and the stupid rivets were breaking off half way up the shank. Go to the store, get a new Arrow tool for like $30, all the way back tot he shop, it's doing it too. OK, maybe bad rivets, go buy the expensive rivets at $7 50ct. Back to the shop, THOSE are breaking off too WTF. Fed up, worked on something else and stopped by Harbor Fright on the way home to get a new electric motor for the lathe (that's another story, turned out the reversing switch went bad) and I saw this rivet tool for $4.99. Grab on and a box of rivets for like $3 100ct. OMG the HF tool works 3x better then all three of the others. Two pulls and they snap off countersunk.
EDIT: Totally thought I typed "Freight", but decided to leave the pun lol.Comment

Had to look up the T.43, since I've only just heard about these cars today. Sounds sick. Small, light, manual gearbox, and practical. Only things I'm not too fond of are the 18" wheels, and the 3cyl turbo. Would prefer 15s (or maybe 16s) and a NA 4 cyl like a Honda K20. Can't imagine a car like that needs huge brakes that would necessitate 18" wheels.Comment

My wife had a 2008 WK with the 4.6L...I think that was the motor, anyway I replaced the alternator in the grocery store parking lot as it died and wouldn't start back up cause the batter was done. Was on top of the motor and was just a few bolts and it was done... I did accidentally leave my 13mm deep socket under the alternator, and then we sold it like right after so I never got it back... haha1990 325is

I think all of these were aluminum (some were the splined style, some were unsplined but had a key you needed to file a way for), but it's done a good job to turn me off them.
On the (much newer) EH101's, everything was either a potted insert or an anchornut. Both have their own issues, but IMO are more robust
For pop rivets breaking off, I honestly don't know.
Stuff like CherryMax rivets or Avdel/Cherry MBC are pretty sensitive to grip length and using one too long will cause that problem, but I don't think pop rivets do grip lengths?Originally posted by priapismOriginally posted by shamesonComment

Dont think it was length. I have a rotating and deep mandrel tool, but they both were popping them half length. Was having to use side cutters to look them off, then a punch to keep them from slicing skin.Comment
