looks like Mr Newey has set the trend once again. So far, all challangers have a variation of the RBR nose with the slight dip throughout, with that slim bottom for the diffuser

Cant wait to see what Mclaren have done. The car always looks so fcuking cool

It was an interesting time when the regs changed and all the cars came out completely different. Who was going to set the standard for what all future cars where to based? Well it turns out Redbull are the guys to emulate. so, time for a regulation change?

I think it'll suit most cars on the grid, especially Lotus. The only exceptions would prolly be Mclaren, Williams and Mercedes

Small price to pay. The white sidwalls will always look the sexiest and we did have a goor run. Everybody thought the green strip on the softs would look stupid as hell, but you get used to it. The pis of Pirelli yellow and super soft green tyres on the run will look pretty sweet i think

I think it's just due to the fact that they always print their 'logo' straight across. it's usually quite small and the same colour as the tyre so of no consequence but now that it's huge and yellow it looks a bit stupid. If they don't want to bend their recognisable logo they should just leave the P-Zero bit on the tyre and make the cars run the pirelli logo somewhere on the barge boards or something instead of on the tyre.

Sheet cant upload photos for some reason. but i got a whole lot from racing underground. the redbull car looks the goods. their rear wing and front are a little different from others

got some nice high rez images.. might try upload them someother way.

either resize them (I think the max for the site is 1200X1200) or upload and link them via imageshack etc.

Yer i thought that was it..

here goes! i got 3 folders full. heres a few.. they have most of the other cars there also.. and a few videos of Fernando coming off on track..

some nice lookin bits on the rb7.. the gills on the rear end plates look sweet. along with them extending the body fair way back to the wing.. i dont think the others did it for this year..

    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
    • My experience with Rising Sun Exports Before agreeing to the sale I tried to do as much research as I could (obviously), his Facebook reviews are 98% and he goes Live at least once or twice a week. I contacted 2 people in the UK who had used him for their imports, both had positive feedback. His explanation and talk through of the import process was thorough, answering any query no matter how stupid it was. It felt as soon as the money was sent, communication dropped off. I asked for shipping updates every 2 weeks or so, not wanting to pester him, he never had any updates. I wasn't informed the car had been dropped off at the port, I only found out by his Facebook story. I asked for the photos taken at the port, knowing he would need some for insurance purposes. I received a few 5 second clips and that's it. When asked again, he said his staff had them. Weeks later I asked again, he tells me he doesn't have any, but does have 50 photos from the original advert. I never received them. I eventually got the documents sent via WhatsApp after I mentioned the port was requesting them. I purchased a CarVX report, to find out the vehicle is a Grade R with recorded accident damage, first recorded in 2017 when it was first auctioned. He never told me the grade, then again I didn't ask. His response was "Grade R means nothing, it wasn't chassis damage". Still, I would have liked to have been informed about it. Jon prides himself on being open and honest when it comes to inspecting cars, it's his main job doing so at the auctions for customers. When the vehicle arrived in the UK I noticed a few little cosmetic issues. It's a 21 year old car so it wasn't going to be mint condition. The side skirts are cracked on each corner and the sealant is failing. The front grill on the bonnet/hood isn't secured very well, mounting studs are missing. Both minor things, but again, it would have been nice to be told. During a Facebook Live walk around video of the vehicle, he mentioned it has a front Whiteline anti roll bar/sway bar. While on the inspection ramp, I noticed the stock item has been installed. When first questioned, his response was "the ARB? Switched? Since when, it never had them". Since sending video and photo evidence I've not received a response. I'm probably being over critical of the overall condition of an old car, but all I wanted was honesty (which he claims to have). I'm aware I wasn't his only customer, he's busy doing XYZ but other reviews praise him for great communication with regular updates and photos, I felt I didn't receive the same treatment.
