Um, I must be missing the point here. Surely Vodafone would want viewers to recognise the similarities & linkage between the 888 cars & the McLaren cars. Hence you would expect the liveries to be redolent of each other. 888 would naturally consult Vodafone as the paint scheme was coming together. I can't understand either why people would think it should be different or get all bitter and twisted about who did what first. For my 10 cents I don't think the silver finish looks good on either the McLarens or the 888 cars.

The bitter truth about aero parity is as follows. The manufacturers do not by themselves decide how much down force they can run. The governing body does. So on that basis Holden presumably would have installed more downforce into the E series than it presently has. Presumably Ford would have done the same. There is no point lashing out at either manufacturer on the basis of a parity decision made by the governing body. They test the cars to make sure they are the same & if not, they make adjustments. As I said both Holden & Ford could have installed much more downforce onto the cars. If one make ends up with more than the other it is not due to the designers of the car it is due to a failure in the parity system.

So by having a fat head I am genetically predisposed to dying in a car crash. Damn.

Which is why you should always drive with the window up.

I was wondering where the photo in this weeks Auto Fiction was taken. Car was, not suprisingly a Formula Nippon or similar. Dunno why it had James Moffat's name on it, though.

I have adjustable coil overs all round with adjustable hight etc Rear traction rods - not necessary adjustable upper control arms - just get some offset bushes instead. Hi cas bar - lock bar presumably - good idea. strut brace - not necessary lower tie rod brace - not necessary whitline adjustale sway bar - good idea. ajdustable tie rods - what for? Front Strut brace - ok for some bling. whit line adjustable sway bar - good idea set it upp on soft. Heavy Duty steering rack tie rod set - not necessary Cusco Front Tension Rod bar- not necessary Upper Camber Arms - would get some bushes instead. Pillow Ball Adjustable Tension Rods - Cusco do some nice ones. Adjustable Castor Rods - um, see above. pineapples - go on the back! What do ya think? You don't actually need half of this stuff - so you can save a heap of money.

Big call....

Yes.

I guess they must be relying on the fact that not many people are going to turn up this year.

I would refer you to the previous statement about keyboard warrior weiners. That's me. Can't make it Thursday (work), but will be there Saturday for the SES.

Never mind the pics. Post the damn cover!!!

Which optima did you have?

Well I want an ounce of whatever it is they are smoking.

I was thinking more along the lines of an Odyssey PC68T. http://www.odysseybatteries.com/battery/pc680t.htm

Maybe they are having a competition with Renault to see who can take the piss by the greatest amount & yet still be believed?

If you want more feel wind in some extra castor. Job done.

Has anyone seen the new Honda livery. They are kidding, aren't they?

Well last time I was at one of these things it rained. A dry line will appear surprisingly quickly once is stops.

You reckon it is that low? Cost wasn't really the factor. Weight was. Present one is 12kg & out in front of the front wheels. If I can get back 5kg I will be well happy. As long as the car starts, that is...

As the old saying goes: Don't let fear hold you back. The caveat being: Don't confuse bravery with stupidity. Anyway, it would be good to see some more times posted up for Wanneroo. Everyone else must think we are a bunch of keyboard warrior weiners for not posting anything.

Just the ordinary EMS. The Australia Post van will then drop it off.

Be happy that it is raining now. It means the track will be clean after the mess left over from the drift event. Clean track means quick times. Wet track means slow times, but it is much more fun. So don't anyone wuss out on account of some sorely needed rain.

Well, a the title says really. I need to know how many CCAs the batteries in the R32 GT-R's had when they were first built. Mine has a 360 but that is mostly because it was all I could get at the time & I cannot remember how many CCA the original battery had. So I can put a light weight one in, obviously. Problem is the Odyssey dry cell type appear to be about the two hundred & something mark...

If you are in Karratha you would well know how hard it is to get resources to do any significant projects at the moment. It is no differrent in Bunno. Anyway if it is hype you want hype... Australia : WA : Bunbury Friday, 23 February 2007. 11:38 (AWDT) Planning urged to cope with motor racing events The Chamber of Commerce and Industry in the south-western Western Australian city of Bunbury is warning the city could be overwhelmed by its new motor racing events unless careful planning begins immediately. The racing group Perth International Motorsport has secured a deal to bring a series of Asian motor sport events to Bunbury. The group has begun building a Formula One-style race track near the city's airport. The first racing event will be held in December. Allan Birrell from the chamber of commerce says the city's leaders need to come up with a detailed plan to cope. "I think we can draw some lessons from other places around Australia that have had similar problems in the past," he said. "I think there of Adelaide when they had the grand prix, they had an operation which co-opted the community to provide billeted accommodation for visitors."

If it is a power FC it is dead easy to remove 1 degree from the timing.
