YouTube is sooooo good for burning HUGE amounts of time !

A night race in Melbourne would be AWESOME:

Not so high-output engine on a testbed:

V12:

And the GixxerKart, in case someone hasn't seen it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zWT6xd3qvkg

Oh, better mention F1 2007 eh? ummm.. . Has there been any decisions yet, re: Aero rules for 08/09 ? All these winglets are getting absurd!

If thats true theyve ripped off Jackie Stewart for the helmet design..

the second part is, again, lap of the gods and its prost behind the wheel..

They didn't rip it off so much as tie it in to the narrative. If you watch the film you can play spot the F1 driver/team owner etc. The footage from Spa shows the complete lack of run off area/safety barriers, even seat belts....

FIA unveils radical plans for 2011

The FIA expects to revise plans to introduce 2.2-litre 6-cylinder engines which in conjunction with these chassis reforms would lead to unacceptable straightline speeds. It is now estimated that engine capacity will be reduced to around 1.3-1.5 litre 4-cylinder engines, though no RPM or boost limits would be set.

F1 racing have been speculating about these new plans. Is Max trying to ruen Formula 1, the whole idea of Formula 1 is to have every car diferent (Super Aguri, and Torro Rosso asside), I don't want homoligated parts on a car. it's not going to cut costs, teams will just thow heaps of money at other things.

I actually like the idea of a "B" team.

More cars on the grid means more drivers, and if they use the B teams as development teams, it means that there is an opportunity for the younger guys to showcase their skills without going to teams that are uncompetitive.

Why can't the teams that want a "B Team" instead invest in a GP3 team so drivers can move up the ranks. Then allow more teams on the F1 grid (a solid 30 cars) with no more than 6 cars using the same brand engine.

in your opinion is he better than the current STR line up?

i think yes... so why not give him a go

Well he is no Takuma Sato.

I guess my opinion is formed by the thought that winning in Champcar these days doesn't prove alot. But he has done a few test days & Berger is not a fool by any means. So maybe. I just doubt it, is all.

Is he better than the current line up probably comes down to the size of the cheque he can write. I don't reckon the current drivers are too bad. Compared to the pair of twits at Jordan, um Spyker anyway.

    • The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf
    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
    • Does the scanner do all the CUs in the car, or only the ECU?
    • @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man
    • Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?
