Why use the Evo calipers...do a search -
If you don;t have to get anything done, ie work I think Italy would be a pretty cool place to live.

Powertune Twin In-Tank Fuel Pump Kit: R33
Roy replied to donut_kng's topic in Engines & Forced Induction
And the size of the surge tank is the same for all applications ranging from 1,2,3 etc pumps? I would be interesing to see how if at all it affects fuel temps over various applications -
No way Newey will go to Ferrari. I cant remember the ins and outs of it but Ferrari had problems back in the day with John Barnard not wanting to move to Italy so set up a design office in UK meaning didnt have to spend all his time in Italy. They made it work but I read Todt scrapped it and in came Brawn/Byrne and Ferrari abandoned the idea of decentralised design. I suppose you can never say never...but Newey didnt like the curtains and McLaren I dont think he would like them at Ferrari. After all it was DC that talked him into meeting with Horner and RBR and told him that their approach would give him the required freedoms within the team and outside of work. I just cant see him leaving RBR unless Horner and other major changes are made to the detriment of the team. Not something that Red Bull will do since they are now the most profitable energy drink manufacturer so would be silly to mess with their most successful brand recognition tool

Powertune Twin In-Tank Fuel Pump Kit: R33
Roy replied to donut_kng's topic in Engines & Forced Induction
So is that a surge tank with 4 internal fuel pumps? -
Another thing...Frankly its probably just Ferrar rumour to try to and disturb Vettel and RBR concentration going into the final few rounds on the 2012 season...head to head with Nando. Any disruption they can put in the RBR camp they will
-
The Vettel to Ferrari is BS. Vettel is all about the stats and come end of 2013 he isnt going to leave the team that has won 3, perhaps 4 out of 4 of the last WCCs and given him at least 2 WDCs, perhaps 3. His best bet to beat all the records he is so concerned about it to drive for the strongest team. Smart money is on RBR again next year....and sure engine is a change up but with new fresh rules RBR will be a good team as long as they have funding and Newey and others around him The inside Ferrari F1 team contact is no different to the BMW mechanic i spoke with years ago after he first signed with RBR. The guy winked and said we have an option and when its right for us we will bring him back to partner Kubica. So much for that scoop.

Oh what I want to do will look AWESOME...or really stupid to others...I dont care. My second option is to paint it up to look like this and get a race suit to suit...
-
I hope Hulk doesn't go to Sauber. Many are saying its a done deal but would really like the guy to go back to Williams
-
How is a vinyl wrapped helmet going to reveal damage to the helmet? Doesnt that fly in the face of helmet condition inspection 101?
-
Kobi is great, He is a goo, aggressive overtaker. Generally a tough and generally fair racer with turns of speed. Perez is a great talent, but looking at Buttons years of being lost in cars and setup. His performance in the Brawn after the first 8 races and more recently in the McLaren it doesn't fill you with confidence that he can properly convey to engineers and designers what he wants the car to be doing. He knows all too well what he doesnt like about it when lapping...but I agree the two of them look to be compounding each others weaknesses and in a year where status quo is going to be simimilar and the bottom teams continue to find the fractiosn of time that the big teams found 12 months ago...its will be easy to see Macca no. 3-5 in the constructors. I was shocked last night to see that Ferrari have overtaken them for 2nd in the WCC. Its a joke that with the car McLaren have had and Massa's absenteeism for most of the year that they are 3rd. Of the driver movement left the only one that is of interest to me is Williams line up. I cant see them giving Bottas the leg up...they have too much pace at the moment not to have a more experienced punter in the seat. I think Jaimie or Hulk are a chance.

Hi folks. After 15 years of using motorcycle helmets in the next few months I am going to be buying my first proper race helmet. I have all but made my mind up on the helmet, mostly driven by pricing. I really, really want a certain colour scheme but dont want to pay the $1500 I was quoted. Does anyone have any experience with competent air brush artists able to paint helmets are a good price?
-
Yeh, there were a few angles where you see Rosberg moving over and crowding Kobi...I think it was very harsh commentary. Every race that passes proves to me that Sky are up the ass with their F1 coverage. The BBC coverage is so much better but wonder how it will do without Jake. Simon is a hopeless leed and no personality or a clue what he is on about. DC and Brundle worked well together. The interesting thing is put on their own I think DC actually does the better job. Oh well.... Agree re Massa. Its great to see him back on the pace. Is it psychological or has the car development come to him or more to the point both cars?!?! I suppose we will never truly know. Dan has lifted his game the past few races and Vergne is doing well as well. Its going to be interesting to see where they all end up I think Perez can count himself very lucky to have the Macca seat at such a young age but already feel its too much too soon for a 22 year old. He will end up another Heikki with the pressure and exposure a top seat is going to bring. He doesnt seem to have any one lap pace but is good over a race distance, but is questionable in traffic.
-
Surprising. My mate worked in Korea and he has always told me far hotter girls than Singapore, Malaysia and Hong Kong. Gutted to see Dan make a mistake at the end...and one day Vettel pushing for fastest laps will cost him. He did his fastest lap of the race on the alst lap after all those warnings. Have to love the fact that he went purple in the last sector of the last lap and was only a fraction of fastest lap of the race....but HOW STUPID IS IT given where Alonso was on track!
-
Leave Romain alone I am gutted he is not his usual smiling self . At leat Dan is still all smiles
-
I will be pissed if RBR pull silly business. This is aroun where Vettel was in 2010 and Webber was where Vettel was and they refused to make Vettel pull over. Vettel gearbox failure and ALonso clash with Hamilton and its anyones season. Hamo is gone in the championship so only has victories to race for so if he tries to be ruthless will be relying on Alonso being accomodating
-
No excuses this weekend. His starts have been pretty good since mid season, often holding or gaining spots. He is on the clean side with a short run to first corner. Its the straights where he will probably get raped. We will see
-
But he lost all his time in the second sector. Either way it will make for a good race. Plenty of pace from the front teams, plenty of overtaking opportunities and tyres seem very durable with claims of easy one stop.
-
Cheers. Thanks a tonne!
-
The main hoop has plenty of triangulation so not a big worry truth be told, but will be a nice touch that you see done on plenty of fia saloon cars
-
Love the fabrication work!
-
Doubt that matters in the days of simulators ...its not a very technical track either. Lotus didn't look great in P1 either
-
I need some bts off an V35, top of the list radiator fans. any idea who would be the place to try to locate?
-
Its good to see more people doing this with seat mounts. Any chance of getting the high point of the back seat frame over the tunnerl tied into the tunnel?

edit...should not post when drinking
