IM ALRIGHT WITH THIS BECAUSE IF THE TITLE GOES DOWN TO THE FINAL ROUND... WHICH I WONT... AT LEAST ITS NOT IN A TIMEZONE THAT IS HORRIFIC FOR ME TO HAVE WAKE UP IN

SORRY FOR CAPS... FCUK IT, IM NOT RETYPING IT NOW

DVR mang, you need one.

Sucks for me, doing 7on 7off out of town. Can't stay up to watch races, or cant watch them when I'm on nightshift. Then have to wait till wednesday when I get back home while avoiding facebook etc so one of the F1 pages or one of my friends doesnt ruin it on there. It really is shit hanging out to watch it lol, but really is one of those first world problems....

Couldnt find much on any launch dates. Did find something that said Mclaren were announcing their new title sponser on the 2nd of December but no news on that either. Hopefully no more chrome cars!

Does it even need to be that elaborate? Make a car min weight exclude driver and then when you specify minimum dimensions for the cockpit you include a weight that uses ballast in the form of seat weight, both bum and backrest %) to control driver weight. DONE!

What I would do is have a mandated standard cockpit area in size, weight COG and polar moment of inertia.

This is given to teams, let's call it "The Box"

So no matter who or what you put into "The Box" it has to meet the mandated standards.

Not at all.

I've actually changed my mind on this I was overthinking it, lengthen cockpit area for taller drivers and add ballast to seat to meet minimum driver + seat requirements, then let it rain cheeseburgers. Ric at 170 odd cm weighing 65kg and being told he needs to drop another couple of kilos is a joke.

Lol. Cheezeburger ftw.

Agree. Saw a pic of Dan in shorts with his mates. He is scary thin once you put it in perspective. Has no bearing on the racing, and having great drivers excluded for being physically different is stupid (within reason).

What's the swept volume got to do with it?

Yes I'm fully aware that it's a 3.9 litre running at 1/3 crank speed - nothing new there.

Longevity? all engines die if not treated right. Rotaries can and will last a long time if built and treated correctly.

Sound? Dam - you got me there

There's also the dreadful specific fuel consumption of the rotary, but that doesn't matter to enthusiasts, does it?

    • R34DE as in R34 with an RB25DE? So did you get this? Or you planning to?  I'm not really sure what you're saying. 
    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
