I was at the Sydney Retro Speedfest at Eastern Creek last weekend, and among the classic cars they had there were some old F1 cars, very cool seeing them out on track.

Team Haas Lola THL1

Was the Lola a Lola-Hart or Lola Ford?

On another note was reading this book last night.

Anyway the section on the 3.5 litre V12's built for F1 before they reverted to 3.0 litre motors was interesting. Turns out Isuzu, HKS, and Nissan all had 3.5 litre V12's. As did Porsche (A complete dog of a thing which some would remember from the Footwork arrows days) and Ford. About the only people to make it work were Honda. And even then it was arguable that with packaging included it wasnt as good as the V10.

I'm not 100% on this, but I'm pretty sure it would be the Hart, given that the Speedfest entry list has it marked as a THL1, and according to wikipedia it was the 1986 THL2 where they changed from Hart to Ford

heya, no real for sale section for motorsport items so wanted to chuck it here if any one is keen. I have a few old Adelaide F1 posters and the first 4 Melb F1 posters for sale.

all except ADL 86 and 90 $50each.

the 86 and 90 $100 each.

the 1990 was the 500th GP

any more details just let me know.

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
