bah, that was just a gentle flop over after bouncing off the tyres. With modern barriers that wouldn't be an issue. Or you could move the wall back. But they'd obviously have more tarmac instead of the gravel trap these days too.

Well, they haven't got an agreement with Renault to supply unbranded engines yet... I imagine Renault would only go ahead with it if they are extremely confident their works PU will be clearly better. Renault engaged Illien at the end of 2014 to help develop their engine. I've read that Renault decided to pursue their own development path rather than use Illien's input...

Have RBR pilfered an ERS guru from another team or something? Otherwise they're probably on a hiding to nothing here.

Building engines probably isn't Renault's problem, it's the associated ERS and "Power Unit" rubbish that teams struggle with.

If the regulations were changed to allow more conventional type engines, fans would enjoy it more and the complexity of design and fabrication would be a lot lower therefore making the units cheaper.

No brainer really.

Talk is the single cylinder prototype yielded improvements. But as RBR were the ones that paid/introduced Illien they are disputing it is their IP and want to own it. I understand that is largely why Renault are kicking on with their own developments and it seems RBR will use the Renault motor as the basis with the Illien tweaks

Also, the talk is its the atual engine and turbo that is weak with the Renault and the energy recovery majic works well

I wonder if Louise can turn the switch back on next year or whether he will go to sleep now he has 3 x WDCs. Mercedes will have us believe development tweaks have moved the car in Rosbergs favour but surely Louise spending too much time in hotel rooms with C-grade rappers and F grade groupies has more to do with it

I wouldn't be surprised if Hamilton has someone employed to teach him how to act to be liked... The way he answers questions now, initially it's what made me stop hating him as he seemed more humble, but these days it's like he's reading straight from a script..

    • 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.
    • Ah coolant overflow, previous discussions make way more sense now lol. 
    • ok. Yea, then I would need to remove the turbo and weld an adapter on to it instead, if I fuc* this one up.  
    • No. Only for a standard ECU with/without Nistune. Standalone has no need for it. That's like the 3rd time I've said so.   And as to that sensor linked - yes, it does look like it would be the right one. I've never bothered to see how available they were - just assumed that they'd be hard to find. I think I'd be planning to go Link ECU rather than buy sensors I don't actually want to make Nistune work, if I did not already have Nistune. As you do not already have Nistune, you should realy consider your options.
