I'd be willing to bet it'd surely be heavier, but it's prolly only in the order of ~20kg

swapping one alloy-headed cast iron block'd I6 for another one = negligible difference

Haters rejoice!

oh for feck sake...

No-one has ever been more robbed than us race fans have been of our epic podium places battle

maximum dry race carnage

Because that's how they roll in the 'Carlo

it's not like He was racing them for position stooge. the back-markers having their arses lapped are supposed to get out of the way sharpish when flagged

or maybe you just refuse to concede he may have a legitimate point?, Troy.

no-one's done that. like Ash said, pretty much anything's possible if you're willing to spend enough money; but trying to keep it AWD would require an epic, epic amount of stuffing around

principality specialé

should be super treacherous off the racing line with the marbles that'll cause the front runners started coming in after lap 9 or so last week didn't they? probably equates to 11 or 12 laps with the wear from quali

you clearly haven't used LOL enough times in that post Hamilton rocks (while ever he drives for McLaren anyway)

ummm- He asked who Mark drove for immediately before RBR

Williams

well there you go. I retract my previous comment there's certainly no doubt it's a lot trickier to keep up with where everyone stands with relative strategies from minute to minute

Nitto eh? I'll look out for it. Cheers I'll check the impedance of these and see what results either way.

I've already bombed the coils and the bracket rails with 100mph cloth tape, which did help somewhat

ok, sweet what should I set the multimeter range to, and which pins on the coil plug do I test and what sort of readings should come back?

you can see the insulation- all that injected resin that encases the windings around the bakelite(?) sheath that the core runs through. haven't seen the earth cable you mention on mine (S2 type RB25 with the igniter built into the coil pack), but I'll have a good look back there tomoz. maybe someone didn't reconnect it ages ago and I've failed to notice it. fairly sure not, but I'll check either way

these ones don't have the external signs of that kind of shorting, but obviously that's not to say they are tip-top the annoying thing is you can hear a spark jumping to earth at idle every few seconds, but with the coil-cover off and in the dark, I still can't see where it's going to

I guess the next thing to try is to find some very thin plastic washers to go between the coil and brackets, plus underneath the split washers of the bolts

I understand how they work, and I'm pretty sure the voltage in the secondary winding is higher than that but weird things do happen- in that pic, you can see the lighter discoloured section on the side of the coil pack where an arc has been jumping to the bracket rail that runs along the side of the coil. both the coils (all of them) and the rail end up with carbon marks from that. I've taped the replacement coils and the bracket rails on both sides to try and increase the resistance to spark-over between them, but it still hasn't completely eliminated the (fairly) occasional misfire where the heck is the spark energy escaping to?
