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?

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
