none and buckley's?

too bad Toyota's usual modus operandii of 'rock up, dump a shit-load of money on the problem, win' didn't come to fruition. 7 years, not once on the top podium spot. ouch

F1's a very different beast to other motorsport discilpines

might have been different if they threw more money at a real good experienced driver? They've had the raw pace on a few occassions over the years.

Reaing EVO a few issues back they wre talking about the new McLaren road car and his focus on making that part of the business work.

Does anybody remember the number of cars that must be on the grid otherwise promoters can murder Bernie? Forgetting the new teams for a minute.

Sauber and Toyota gone, and possibly Renault. ( i expect them to pull out, i dont care that they signed Kubica). So thats only 14 cars on the grid. I am half expecting one of the new teams to pull out, or at least fall over mid season when their hack has been or rookie driver bins too many cars and they cant keep pace with actual chassis etc etc

So is it 16 cars that must be on the grid as promised to even promoters? I think Bernie is going to have to get busy with some support for some people

Spot on. He's running the sports car and automotive technology section of the business now.

The day to day running of the race team is Whitmarsh's gig.

24 car at the moment Roy, minimum in most of the contracts is 14 cars, so 5 more teams can drop out before Bernie has any issues that way, and all he'll do at that stage is enforce the rule regarding to top teams needing to field 3 cars.

    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • 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.
