Scully Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 I am chief engineer for Ferrari in my spare time Monday morning and Tuesday brunch. I have the right to work in every country I can think of. The best engineer in the field in "any" company is not a patch on myself. I am a far better professional engineer than anybody. It is not just you that can talk out of their backsides on this forum.

Spoonman Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 Well not for what I plan to do with it or actually something else similar, I plan to put it on the track so starting with this is preferable as I need to go through what ever I get entirely anyway and most of it will be discarded.. Yes, $500US worth the risk to loose but worth far more in the grand scheme of things if it goes through ok, and the left drive is exactly what I want it's worth about 2 seconds or more on the track depending on length and turns over right drive and shift.. - At what length of track does LHD become faster than RHD - At what number of turns does LHD become quicker - At what curve radius (slower of faster) corners does LHD show its superiority over RHD ?????

BlackArtemis Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 Honest question, I know even this is a shoddy route to go, but could someone link me the terms (in English would be best, but Thai is ok too) by which a Thai citizen living abroad can bring back their vehicle if they have had it in their name for X amount of years. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None.. It's faster in every instance just a measure of how much faster per lap is the only difference..Obviously the more shifting necessary the quicker it is... But it isn't just shifting as much as coordination when down shifting and braking as well..That's when the most overtaking is possible and most shifters are formatted for right handed people and predominantly left drive the shift pattern is completely opposite such as my VW 5th gear is next to my leg close to my body on right drive and the furthest away from my leg when left drive..just one example, pushing from you on up shift is easier to control and apply proper pressure to easily locate gear positions.. It doesn't seem like much but we are talking tenths of seconds between laps being qualifying or racing so it adds up considerably depending on track length..And then there's the matter of missed shifts and the damage they can cause besides time lost the difference could be the end of your race if you float the valves for instance, this is epidemic here.. Also VW engineered their cars for left drive by placing the engine block on the right side as have most manufacturers though there are exceptions and most of those are right drive countries.. This provides for better weight distribution when setting up suspension and handling performance.. Edited May 22, 2010 by WarpSpeed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LivinLOS Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 What is considered a "Professional Engineer" in terms of a car restoration?? I plan to do the work myself and I'm far more professional in that regard then any locals, so how does that work? I'm sure the OP means an engineer with legally recognizable credentials here in Thailand - which unfortunately exlcudes yourself, no matter how well endowed your credentials may be.. Sorry you're so misinformed, you know me?? I have a certification and credentials to match to go with soon with a work permit for exactly my specialty in this field, so sorry for you...JFYI I am the OP....

No need for all of the other rubbish and trolling just purely information and the link posted was not in relation to what you've now noted... But if you had been paying attention, this car is not to be driven on the road so from that point of view what I build is not subject to any Thai accreditation except the rules governing the series and that therefore does not apply to me either, end of debate... To quote the forum tosser "oh drat".... T/A You're officially an ignorant tosser of the highest order no longer to be anything but ignored which is why I responded in this post and will not respond to any of your trolling posts furthermore.... But to say you know me not nor do you know what stature of motorsport I've achieved or anything else for that matter... Just because you're a washed up failure at everything you attempt does not mean everyone else is.. Edited May 22, 2010 by WarpSpeed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RAZZELL Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 If I'd spent all that money I'd want a BKK plate to make sure it was in the main system.Is this a legit registration or is it like a 60K under-the-table imported bike reg ? .....Rayong and Prachinburi are known for dodgy (motorbike) regos, Still well done to whoever for getting it here and registered, whatever the route, show it can be done Cheers Once you have a book - you may register in any province you want - BKK included. Nothing at all dodgy - the plates are issued by central goverment - end of story. Saraburi is the other "Easy" province BTW. The book could not be with held - import licence and import duty paid doc's are all present. As the car is "As new" or better and was re-built by a proffesional engineer (Report to hand) along with the car being driven from Sri Racha to Rayong without incident, the licence department only weighed the car (900 Kg) stating it must be OK as it was driven 60 k and arrived safely. Yes - it can be done and also well done to him !!! Can you post a link to his "story"? I'd love to know who he used to import the car etc etc etc Many thanks RAZZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarpSpeed Posted May 23, 2010 Author Share Posted May 23, 2010 (edited) Hmmmmm seems like a have few board stalkers but T/A in particular I should be flattered but I'm not the sort to enjoy such katoey attention... Lots of insecure and envious types here eh? Like little children in a school yard nanny nanny poo poo jeeeeeezzzzzus .... The maturity is overwhelming... Just for the record since T/A claims I've been proven wrong so many times I'd like something more concrete then just his hollow claims, something such as proof like links and that's plural since he claims numerous times. And being wrong is not just an opinion it has to come with actual credible contrary proof of what I've stated..

T/A I was not wrong about anything related to the Firebird quite the opposite it was concluded that it was not likely to be a T/A which was your contention and now that's done with but who gives a toss about a piece of dung like the MG (except you of course) which is now Pwned by China anyway and so far they've done nothing with it either.. JFYI The difference between us is that you still slag on people even when you know nothing of the topic, that makes you a class 'A' tosser where as I don't make any comment on topics I have no expertise in which makes me a class act...

INTJ Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 WarpSpeed, You obviously have experience in racing, and you are also proud of your accomplishments in the sport, I think that's fair to say. Myself and I'm sure many other posters / readers are interested in exactly what you achieved in motorsport, if you would share this on the forum perhaps it would help your cause.

Spoonman Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 Yep you got me pegged....... What a <deleted> idiot you are, not worthy of any response beyond that.. And yet Ive posted your diatribe on an performance vehicle forum and guess what, every person that has responded (they all race vehicles in some form or another, from V8supercars to the 24hr at Nurburgring all the way to grass roots go-karting) and its was unanimous, you are an idiot claiming a LHD FWD production car will be upto 2 seconds quicker the the same car in RHD format on the same track. Ohhh yeah, you still didnt answer my other post,well you did sorta, but you completely sidestepped my actual questions, have another try, Ive quoted a part of your post that I found most intriguing and the left drive is exactly what I want it's worth about 2 seconds or more on the track depending on length and turns over right drive and shift.. Here is my questions in regards to the highlighted bit. - At what length of track does LHD become faster than RHD - At what number of turns does LHD become quicker - At what curve radius (slower of faster) corners does LHD show its superiority over RHD.

jay1980 Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 If LHD cars are so much quicker than RHD cars why aren't all the cars in the BTCC (British Touring Car Championship) LHD? http://www.touringcartimes.com/article.php?id=4586 The pics in this link show some are RHD, some LHD.

hakku Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 (edited) Warp, you want to build your race car, come out to trackdays and the circuits. plenty of people around who're willing to help out and inform if you're serious. You'll be amazed at how much you can get in TH without going through all hoops, there's just sooo much laying around if you know people who know where to look. BMW E30 is absolutely easy to get on track and good fun. Surely there's a golf somewhere laying around. Dont have your hopes too high on "not registering" the car, you will either need a temporary import permit for a race car or documents. They do check the cars on the way to the tracks and/or back. Thats why my race car has copies blue book in it. Converting right to lhd isnt too problematic especially for a race car and once you have a rolling body, getting those parts is relatively easy I'd say. Bira turns right, kaengkachan turns left, TCN turns right. My (race) car is LHD and yes for me its faster since I grew up shifting on that side, dunno if the car is faster because of it. For the rest, I look forward to see you at the track once the golf is finished. Must admit that i do find you a bit jumpy to everybody who shoots in.....
