at least it was a stand out on the grid, something new... which is rare

this is just ugly and unimaginative... and from the side it bears a striking similarity to BMW's colour scheme

yep..i find it hard to believe that Honda dont even appear to have a single other sponsors name on their car... very confusing considering that Toyota have stacks more money and yet they have a bunch of sponsors on their car.

these photos are funny...

Rubens looks a kid standing next to Santa in this shot... go on Reubs..wet yourself, its okay!

and Jenson...oh Jenson, much more than this.... you did it YOOOOOUUUUUUUURRRR WWWAAAAAAYYYYYYYYY!

Ahahaha, you wish.

Poor bastard.

I get grand stand tickets every year but never use them, so if anybody wants to upgrade and sit at turn one on Saturday for qualifying all day, let me know you can BORROW my ticket.

... You still need your ticket to get into the track but once you’re in you can have mine for the day

yeah... when the side pods, bridge wing, bargeboards side pod winglets and numerous other parts are 'borrowed' from last years Mclaren, they're obviously onto a winning idea

they do have a much better nose on it tho

Well if you removed the paint schemes from the cars other than the different height keels for the front suspension I reckon even the most ardent train spotters would struggle to figure out which car is which.

I like the fact that the three top teams (Mclaren, Ferrari and Renault), while always ultra competitive always seem very different in most aspects... be it suspension, side pods and especially front wings

I would say that the rest of the grid are indiscernible from one another is solely because they are a stolen mish-mash of the top three’s design concepts both aerodynamic and mechanical

Yeah... its too bad not all of us are 100 years old and were around in that era, hey?

:D

Oh very fkn funny. Fkn newbs.

Actually if you want a good read go buy yourself a copy of the book 1982. Get it from Amazon & it will be cheaper than locally.

    • 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?
    • Correct. Um. I dunno. I haven't cared enough about the way that the NA cars work to know for sure. But..... The 33/34 turbo manual cars have an electronic speed sensor in the gearbox that outputs a +/- (ie, sawtooth AC) voltage signal. That is connected to the speedo. The speedo then outputs a 0-5v square wave (ie, PWM) signal that the ECU (and any other CU on the bus) sees. The speed sensor is NOT directly connected to the ECU. So here's the problem. Your new ECU expects to see the PWM signal, but must somehow be getting a direct signal from the diff speed sensor. Which would suggest that the wiring of the NA car is not the same as the turbo cars. I think you will need to spend some time with (hopefully the wiring diagram for the car) and a multimeter to see what is connected to what. Then, presuming I am correct**, you would then want to separate the ECU speed signal input from the rest of the car's wiring, and probably either buy a speed signal converter, or build one using an arduino (or similar). That would take in the speed sensor signal and output a scaled (and suitably rearranged) signal for the ECU. ** We shouldn't presume that I am correct here, because there might be something else crazy going on. I don't think you could convert the speedo to be fed from the gearbox sensor, because the pulse rate from that sensor is probably different to the diff sensor and then the speedo would read wrongly. And this also wouldn't fix the ECU's problem either, because the ECU doesn't want to see the gearbox signal direct either (assuming that they are all on the same wiring, for some odd NA related reason, see above caveat!) Does this help? Probably not. Can you make it work? Almost certainly. With the above work. You should buy a handheld oscilloscope from Aliexpress so that you can view these signals directly. Connect up the probes and drive the car. Show photos of the screen when drving at known speeds and connected to different places, and we'll see what we can learn about it.
