anyone notice in the 2014 regs that the maximum nose height has been reduced from 550 to 185mm?

that combined with other changes should see the cars look significantly better.

Fyp.

is the nose reg change actually happening? I remember reading conflicting stories

be fcuking great news though

It's real.

It's damn real.

Early 00 cars are ugly in my view. You have to go back another 10 years to get the best looking. The 2008 cars were a joke with crap hanging off every working surface. Still one of the best lookign cars, defiitely from the best looking era (close 2nd is Lola F5000 cars :) )

Yep...was a thing of beauty...if only Prost had beaten that Brazillian hack in it!

But that was Ferrari in its proper state - too busy fighting each other to win anything.

But yes F1 cars looked alot better before they narrowed the track width. A 640, an FW14 (I prefer an FW13B, but anyway), an MP 4/5, even the Lotus 107 (in Castrol colours) and the early Jordans. But the Tyrrell 020 was a peach.

Anyway they should bring back titanium skid plates now so people can get their Type 98T on in qualifying.

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
