Having had a good look at the proposed regs for 2010 it seems there is going to be an incredible amount of differences between the teams that choose to use the budget cap and those that do not....... Unlimited number of engines (and no rev limit) for those 'capped' teams along with unlimited testing might be deal breakers for the 'uncapped' teams.... Should be very very interesting times... :banana:

Why can't they just leave my favourite sport alone?

These proposed 2010 regs just won't be workable; Can you imagine the whining and appeals that will result. God help us.

And no wukkas Bern: let's not choose drivers on merit- instead we'll just have the motorsport equivalent of communism where everyone gets a shot just to try and increase casual viewer appeal to make you even more Scrooge McDuck-like. So you want to pull in the 'black Jewish woman' crowd (???); but maybe a team should run with 80 year old Gladys from Bankstown- just think of the added worldwide pensioner market!

Dickhead.

Can't wait to see 20,000+rpm though...

However I agree with Montezemolo, F1 is ment to be the pinnacle of technological and engineering in motorsport, the absolute limit of racing... I think this approach is killing that..

yeah that is bullshit....over and over again in the last few years any team that does well has rules changed to stop them.

the real issue in f1 budgets is that Bernie and his nazi mate are milking the sport of every possible $$$, by asking very large fees to host each round. Traditional/developed markets can afford to say that it doesn't make business sense to host a round at this cost, and Bernie is happy to call their bluff and drop their traditional rounds (look at Spa, Nurburgring, mangy cors, san remo etc etc). Developing nations beleive that the cost of the round it worth it for the global exposure and sign up, no different to agreeing to host the olympics.

of course the problem then arrises for the team's existing sponsors.....not many of them are dying to reach developing markets in the sphincter of the universe, Bahrain,Signapore, Malaysia, China, UAE. Less races in relevent countries = less value to sponsors = less money for teams. Yes there are f1 fans in those countries, and some global consumers, but nothignc ompared to Europe, USA, Canada etc etc.

I'm just enjoying F1 for there here and now, with so many talented young drivers and a shake-up of the rules it has really given some new teams a shot at the title. A lot of these gestures are pie in the sky notions and many of the things are just dick swinging, chest beating exercises because of the power play between Bernie and the teams. Eg Bernie says I want a salary cap and Ferrari says you're being ridiculous so Bernie says take your bat and ball and piss off if you don't like it. I think a salary cap would be bad for the sport but they're all just carrying on like a bunch of five year olds, if F1 goes down the toilet it'll be a sad day but I'll just find something else to watch.

Not to mention the types of government in control of the new venues for F1. Hardly your typical democratic govts that have to answer to an electorate about how they spend govt money

    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
