Honestly, I wasn't that bugged by 6pm Sunday about the noise. I did get used to it

However it doesnt sound like the pinnicle of motorsport. The V8's etc just sounded so unique and amazing. They really made it sound like 'these are the best engines in racing today'

I won't stop watching or following because of this though. The racing is good just a shame the noise is missing

Seriously the mazda celebrity race had more action and sounded better!

Ferrari, Lotus, Williams need to pull out of f1, Just to show dad (Bernie) who's boss. wakes up Bernie!

Bernie wants them to be loud..... I read an article about how he is doing all he can to bring some noise back into the sport not long after I posted before

The blame is with the FIA from what I can tell

They need to bring back re-fueling, stop banning/changing aero rules and fix the engine problem

yeah from what i remember bernie doesnt have anything to do with the engine changes and was concerned last year that it wouldnt sound good,

and yeah the other day he was saying something if possible something had to be done after a couple of races

they need more gate

+1

If they sounded like the turbos of the '80's I don't think that anyone would be complaining, I love listening to that era's turbo cars. Instead we have Formula Prius.

I'm sure I heard they don't use a wastegate...

Yeah there is no wastegate :(

Edited by chus13

RBR said they still had a wastegate for safety of the motor, but apparently it's not a necessity because of the energy generation motor attached to the turbine. Doesn't really matter.

Still sound like wet farts.

Get the old cars out the sheds and turn some wheels.

    • It does, this part circled in red. I assume the OEM bolt might not work well with the poly bushing because the dimensions may be different?
    • The J arm doesn't have bushes either. Assuming that by "J arm" you mean the part of the upright that runs down from the upper arm's outer bushes to the top of the hub. That has a kingpin style bearing in it. If you meant the lower control arm, it has 1 bush, at its inner end. If you have PU in there, that is superior to Nismo rubber. If you meant the caster/tension rod - it has 1x bush at the front end, and again PU is superior to Nismo rubber. But as I said above, I would definitely get the GKTech arms for that, as sphericals slay all other options there.
    • Yep I'll find those and get back to you. To be honest I wasn't aware of data sheets until you mentioned it. I'm still new to this haha, lots to learn. My car is parked outside, it rusted in less than 24 hours lol. Only minor surface rust that was easily removed but I've been worried that it might rust from the inside out and screw me over in the long term (if I decide to keep the shitbox for that long).
    • Sorry I meant nismo bushes in the J arm, not the actual gktech upper camber control arm.
    • Post up the youtube video your referring to, will be much easier then us playing charades together lol.  Lets see the videos in question.  If the car is in your garage and you sand it back to bare metal, you'd be surprised how much time you have to work with before it starts to rust. As long as you're actively working on the car in your free time, you're going to be fine.  I assume everyone is reading the data sheets for all the materials they are using before using them. If you're not, please start doing this lol.
