since the -27 seems to have lost the Aigo signage from the central tub, what say we all chip in a few mil each to get the SAU logo on there for the season?

guys? guys??...

hows the nose

egads

dinner almost got a replay. horrendous

bloody heck

please stop, you're scaring the children guys

looks like the MP4-27 will get a lot of air-time this season, seeing as it's the only palatable design so far

p.s no-one in that Force India pic seems to be too happy about appearing next to that abortion

i know it seems like im just having a dig because the ferrari company is just such a bunch of cocksuckers, but im trying to be serious here

that is by far the ugliest car i have seen in decades... the williams walrus, can now be peacefully forgotten

who... how has thing thing... what?!

its almost like they're taking the piss

i dont even know what to say

just a thought...

look, I'm no bonafide aerodynamicist or nuffin', but I'm assuming the point of all these 'step nose' designs is to increase the aero load over the front axle(?)

how exactly does that help the oft mentioned 'front-to-rear' aero balance when the departure of EBD has come at the cost of a whole chunk of rear downforce disappearing? the rear wing's no bigger after all... ?

holy shit its ugly from all angles

merely following company policy in line with all recent road models- 599 GTB, 612, California, FF (dopey looking bread van); All complete mingers

the only one that just bucked the trend is the 458

I hypothesized that earlier and was going to make up a 3d model and test the difference, but haven't had time.

From my basic aero work i would think so, the steeper the better as it would create a positive pressure just in front of the front suspension

although they aren't utilizing the advertising space on the front of the 'step nose'

surely just running a bit more angle of attack on the front wing aerofoil elements would be a less retarded solution??

I reeeeally hope (as I suspect it won't) this doesn't turn out to be a successful design feature

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
