Roy

If you looked at the Lotus during the early and closing laps it had the lap speed to keep the Williams honest and Fezz behind....problem was they had an instrument problem that cut power for periods of the race and at times was only running on 5 cylinders Keen to see how Romain goes at Monaco...god knows he over drove last year and had a shocker

Romain had a cracker! Had problems all race but still grabbed a solid 8th. Was good for a 5th olr 6th if the think ran on all 6 cylinders for the whole GP. So RBR is clear no.2...from there its l;ooking rather close between Fezz and Williams with Force India and Lotus sticking their noses in from time to time. LOL, all hail King Dennis...he is doing a stella job at McLaren!!!!

I am stoked! Hope Romain can bring it home in 4th!

I don't own a filthy GTR. GTSt FOR LIFE, just not with an RB20 anymore 10 years of use-abuse means the past few years lots of stuff has needed replacing and track time has been lean. Where were you between 2000-2011? Have you even gone quicker then a 2008 RB20 time ? So nobody has a proper GTX2860 result yet, only modded -5 housings?

Yeh...getting pulled I over too much these days and so far so good but going for street legal club car so I can enjoy the next 15 years of ownership as much as the past 15 years. Also road trip to Spa, Zandvoort etc next year so need some reliable grunt to be quicker than the calibre of cars at European track days. Lol...hopefully Racepace power can beat 458/991 GT3 race car power

So cant anyone really speak to whether GTS2860 with proper 3" anti surge cover will outperform std -5s ? Going to be a 2.8L with baby 260cams, std exhaust manifolds and .64 IWG rear housings Thinking I might try the 49 trim vs 58trim just so that the turbos come one nice and early and torque curve a little flatter to help little 265 rear tyres out a tad Want more than GT-SS but dont need as much as -5s. Other option is low mount single but point of new engine is will pass the "pop the bonnet test" for next few years so low mount twins easier to get away with

Its the SH 10cm though. So bigger than the T67 L2 and normal TD06 10cm housing. The L2 seems to be all the rage....they are far easier to find and the std TD06 10cm housing about the hardest to find

With that sort of response on an RB25 you are running a 10cm housing. Going from a 10cm to an 8cm housing on that sized turbo will really liven it up in the mid-late 3,000rpm brand but say goodbye to having any pull over 6,250rpm. I went from an 8cm and tried a 12cm because I couldnt get a 10cm housing and the 8cm was wild. 300rwkws and the think just blazed tyres with so much extra torque down low. Would suggest the 8cm will run better on E85 as it is too small IMO for a 2.5L engine and E85 masks such mismatches. I ove my Trust turbos but if you want more response then time to change turbo...not pay $400 for a different turbine housing and have a compromised result

A few posters look silly in this thread and its not the person trying to sell the car. The same people who dont "get" this car also wouldn't understand why you would spend 40k on a 1963 Lotus Cortina that isnt registered but is log booked for Group Nb This car is a great performance package that lets you do numerous forms of motorsport and is damn reliable and well maintained. Hard life? Maybe the shell but even the paint/body is in great condition. The components in the car all get lifed and refurbished as part of ensuring its reliabilty in competitiveness. Remember it competes in tarmac rallies and won Targa Tas...you dont do that driving around in a car with flogged/worn out parts. Good luck to the seller. I have seen this car in person several times and you wouldn't know its history looking at the great conditions it been maintained in. Anyone that was at Albert Park F1 in 2013 would have seen and heard it belting around the circuit....its a damn good thing!

Tragic isnt it

Machining and fab time/costs. Get something close to what i want for < $200 then I am happy

I am looking for good quality and reasonably priced uprights at the moment. If anyone knows a place that saves custom machinging etc

But its how the gases get from the exhaust valve to the turbine that also plays a big part. In the ays of E85 you tend to be able to mask a lot of things but I can tell you in the days of 98 if you wanted the most out of your RB20 or RB25 then a manifold helped. My 2c is whilst std manifolds make the power, you notic a big improvement in how the car drives and makes its power when driving it on the street or flogging its guts at the track. My other 2c is if you can get a 6 into 2 into 1 manifold then it will work better again vs the 6boost like 6 into 1 manifolds

See...that is uber cool. Love to see an off its head go toe to toe with Blaise's chook cooker RX7. I will build it and Dr Woo can win in it!

Very keen to see the historic F1 cars take to the hillclimb at Goodwood in a few weeks. Sux to be a broke ass punter walking around what is going to be motorsport heaven

And it continues....thjis time STR . Form Autosport on JEV.... "While there's been some bad luck this year, the fact he has made Q3 three times (and would surely have done so in Bahrain but for a sudden change in the fuel-flow meter readings that forced the team to turn down the engine) shows he has emerged from the biggest disappointment of his career a stronger driver." Would be simple to throw a bit of redundancy at them by getting them to run two meters

The thickness of the flange to the head and what appears to be some scale on the manifold made me think it may be. An easy option would be bolt the manifold to a dummy plate, grab an oxy and lever it 5-10mm. Heat the right places and science will do much for the work for you. Much easier than cutting and welding

Bugger....out of interest is that a new manifold or used?

I think the Porsches speed is fine. I think their energy recovery system and general hiccups are what are going to be the problem at le Mans. I can see it now. Flying all that way, camping for 4 nights and Webber's car will probably retire in the first hour without Mark even getting to turn a single lap. I have never beena good luck charm watching his F1 races. I hope WEC changes our fortunes!

What is the audio like? That is whats most important to me... I think the Hero 3+ is the way to go , just need to confirm the quality of the external mic

So considering a new camera for an upcoming holiday. I have an old Radcam and an old circa 2011 GoPro. Is there anything new to the market that is a better proposition? It will be an open top car so external mic is a must so that wind noise doesnt ruin the footage.

Porsche on pole ...yeh baby Sadly Hatley didn't get to di two final kaps so the 20 car is only 5th

What is the inducer/exducer size of the compressor? I am about to buy a new manifold so no longer restricted by Trust 3 bolt flanges on my TD based turbos

10:30pm tomorrow night! Quali tonight...not sure what time...something like 3am from memory

Not a problem with your ABS but rather your choice of caliper! Why I have never liked this option as an upgrade. If you don thave ABS you would think the setup is crap. ABS in part masks how badly balanced the setup would be with EVO calipers....but will always make the ABS have a heart attack simply because those calipers and rotors will cause the brakes to lock sooo easy
