i have to say they weren't as disapointing as i expected....cant really give a full on opinion coz i didnt get to go this year to hear em in real life, but they definitely sound better than i was expecting.....still not the same as the V10's, but still good :O

i thought they sounded a little lame on tv (for some reason they always do) but in real life they are farking awesome. like i said, i reckon as good as or better than the V10s.

strange this one. apparently his views on the technical running of the team was different to that of the toyota "bill payers" view of how it should be done. if i was a smaller team, i'd be snapping him up pretty damn quickly!

Gascoyne gonskiii!! oh well 8 mill pounds per year saved

Yep V8's did sound good

There are 22 teams showing interest for 2008 and beyond

Hmmm........ 44 F1 cars going around-oh the sound!!

I wish-the limit is for 12 teams only

Bring back Stoddard :)

I'm sure they are all just putting in entries in case they become interested or a market develops from teams without entires wanting in.

The fact is though that Max Mosely has won the battle, he has enough team that he doesn't need the manufacturers...their bargaining position is shot now.

I totally disagree, I love huge fields in any category it makes it waaaay more interesting....just like Bathurst was in the group C and A days with corollas racing against the v8s and everything in between.

Most top categories these days struggle to make 30 entries, for so long f1 was 20, supercars are only 32, dtm 30 and btcc about 15. pretty piss poor

oh and on a completely unrelated subject Casey Stonner got pole for tonites MotoGP!!

fcuken good on him mate... for only his second race thats damn impressive

5th... a bit dissapointing nut still another solid result. He wasnt 100% fit so i think when he is at 100% fitness and they get tyres right etc he will finish on podium more often then not :)

i dont know about you ppl but how is that teams like Mclaren and Renualt can do in excess of 1400 kms with a single engine in testing, but when it comes to race weekends you dont see shit?? keep in mind a race distance is 300kms ant they do about 100kms in practice and qualifying, so why dont we see a bit more of them in the first couple of practices?

surely it would benifit them to get the most track info they can out of a weekend? but no apparently

The lack of big names in testing etc is one reason that i am not too much of a fan of the 2 race engine concpet. In theory it is good in that i bridges that gap between teams but now we have had time to see it in practice i think that most people would agree it is not all that good. Imagine Honda asking button to pull off from a points finish so that he does not get penalised for the next race. Crazy.

And what is with the new 5 year freeze on engine development. Sure it saves costs but if hardly makes it F1 anymore. It is sad to think that they are going to retard one of the most exciting bits of F1...Technology.

The 2 race engine rule is fk crap. This rule has gotta go-NOW. Sitting around Albert park looking at a near empty track on Friday and Sat at times nowing teams are saving their engines is a disgrace. No one is saving money in F1 from this rule_all it achieves is shitty payin fans sitting around a deserted race track

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
