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!

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

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.

      ECU sees many times the speed than speedo does (R34 swap)

      It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.

      I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
