Sato gets engine penalty

28 September 2006

Takuma Sato will lose ten places on the starting grid for the Chinese Grand Prix after the team had to replace his Honda engine. Sato used the engine at the Italian Grand Prix but since then the team has discovered a problem which means it has to be changed.

lol... that'll take him from at least 21st to.... 22nd

A japanese company with endorsements from people like paris hilton, penelope cruz

this is how bored i am...

On the upside someone has taken over from Tyrrell as the rightful place for really obscure Japanese sponsors to call home.

Never understood why Zent didn't back the Toyota F1 team, they used to sponsor their Le Mans efforts....

How could you forget big Darryl Eastlake "Oh gees the emotion is written all over his helmet etc etc etc"

In fact the whole channel 9 coverage was great. Alan Jones would rock & up not having even bothered to learn how to pronounce the names of whichever buy drivers Minardi was running that week. Darryl eastlake would chime in with useful offerings like "When you go off & hit the grass you actually accelerate." Ahhh, happy days.

Tyrrell used to have PIAA as a major sponsor, which was obvious enough. Club angle was somewhat more obscure. Would you believe a Japanese manufacturer of underwear? Now that is product placement.

    • Hello everyone, I'm glad to join you.
    • Definitely do-able haha. I will give it a try if the fuel pump hanger does not solve the issue. Just need to find some quiet time in the area, Malta is like a big city and I live right next to the main hospital so it is very busy during the day. I'll be installing it in about 2 weeks, found a garage that is pretty knowledgeable and has the necessary tools. This garage has worked on multiple builds, even for competitions. They even asked me to stay with, so I should be fine.
    • Just to add, I found the r32 gtr ecu the most forgiving, the r33 one would get the shits. 
    • For what it’s worth I drove my gtr for over a decade with gt-ss as a true daily after I pulled off the -5s, I had it engineered and went with stock ecu etc.  never skipped a beat.    I would only worry if you can’t get good fuel all the time in a tropical paradise
    • I bought an engine from a friend of a friend many years ago, it was sold to me as a RB25det Neo.    recently I started pulling it apart and noticed that the intake manifold was pretty different from others that I had seen on RB engines so did a bit of research and found that it was a non turbo manifold. So I’m sceptical now that it is a NEO DET and just thinking it’s a NEO DE (it does have a turbo strapped to it currently).    can you identify the engine model from the numbers on the block?
