Romain will continue to be a gun!

Re Kimi...from Autosport.comon Kimi in Nascar

But the race wasn't without its dramas. As anyone who heard Kimi's Abu Dhabi radio chat is aware, he knows what he's doing - even if that means failing to wear the correct protective gear...

"When he first came here I looked at his shoes and I told him, 'I don't think you'll be able to run those shoes over here' and he's like, 'Yeah, yeah, yeah that's what I always race with', so he didn't want to put the heat shields on. The floorboards get exceptionally hot in NASCAR vehicles, maybe 125-130 degrees.

"But he didn't want to put his booties on as we call them and we are a bit into the race and he comes on the radio and says, 'My feet are getting very hot! Never mind, I will put them out the window!'

"I thought that was the funniest thing I ever heard on the pitbox. And that was the only time he brought it up in the whole race."

I'm looking forward to seeing what is is like. Most of the drivers are ex f1. They still have gearboxes and make noise! Have u watched the video on Formula e website. Old mate who's f**ked ever hot bitch on the planet has bought a team, presumably to lure more bitches in with environmental talk

    • I might just check it out.. A Q among all those skylines.. lol
    • Time will tell, they're doing all the admin stuff at the moment. I've submitted all the required details, photos, etc.   I was under the impression that DC coupling is the best approach, i.e.: Solar Array -> Battery Invertor -> Battery  Where as AC Coupling is simpler, however less efficient, i.e.: Solar Array -> Solar Invertor -> Battery Invertor -> Battery
    • The price is really great for that kind of capacity. I thought similar setups cost way more. How's your efficiency been with the DC-coupling? I've heard sometimes there can be a bit of a performance loss.
    • Long time no random post about shit. So I went down this deep deep rabbit hole of battery storage for the home, ended up locking in a 41.9kWh Fox ESS EQ4800 with 9 units stacked. Battery uses Lithium Iron Phosphate, similar to what you find in those deep cycle boat/caravan batteries. And yes, why did I go with a cheapie brand and not like Synergy? simply because I don't plan to stay at this house for more than another 3~5 years.  The entire install, DC coupling (removal of existing invertor, connecting the current 6.6kW array direct to the battery invertor), new 8kW invertor is $6K all up (after all the rebates etc.). Going with this lot: https://www.aussiesolarbatteries.com.au/ It did seem a bit too good to be true, however seems like the Whirlpool community has vetted it and when it comes to this kind of stuff, they seem to be all over it: https://forums.whirlpool.net.au/thread/9pxj8482?p=38   I've requested for the battery to be installed outside, next to my meter board and not inside - rather have it combust and ignite outside lol.    
    • In Vic it would be a defect regardless of whether or not you cut a hole in the sheetmetal for the return pipe. The rules in Vic are shitful, and are generally interpreted as you can "make 2 mods to the intake system". Putting an FFP and an FMI onto it will almost certainly be seen as some huge number of intake mods. You really need to speak to an engineer before doing this stuff in VIC.
