he has won 5 in a row. Probably deserves a little credit...

Hass goes half alright! But then it is half Ferrari :P

STR are mixing it with Williams and RBR as predicted - good to see. But the Renault PU s going OK these days too.

It's shaping up as a pretty tasty season. Even Kimi looked like he was actually there to race this weekend!

Bottas very hard done by with that penalty. He made the apex, wasn't pushing wide or anything and was well up alongside - 100% entitled to be there imo.

Hamilton will go and win 6 straight mid season...he has been menaced 2 GPs in a row and still racked up points. Rosberg has done what he needed to but i need to see him beat Lewis in wheel to wheel combat to prove to me he has the headspace to win the WDC this year

Reckon Hamilton will sort his starts out?

Hey, i like Rosberg...but he has yet to put Lewis to the sword and Lewis has always got on his streaks which Rosberg has looked powerless to stop. If Lewis can keep his intensity up it will be a great contest as Rosberg still looks hungry. I hope /lewis faulters and we see him on a few races throw his toys from the pram as tradiotionally he goes walkabout

5 in a row is as many as Hamilton has ever managed!

And only 7 other drivers in history have won 5 or more in a row!

And it turns out Hass is WAY more than half Ferrari! lol

Yeah the other half is all Dallara (Which I don't mind). It is the customer Ferrari for huge slabs of the thing that annoys me. It is not what F1 is supposed to be about.

From the article:

The Haas VF-16 is the first car from the US based team, but it has largely been constructed in Italy.

In the past to be considered a constructor a team would have to design an construct its own chassis, front impact structure, suspension, suspension geometry, radiators, bodywork, steering system, brakes, floor and fuel tank at the very minimum. But at the start of the 2014 season that requirement was dropped to only require teams to design and build the chassis, front impact structure, suspension, suspension geometry, brake ducts and bodywork. For 2015 that has been further simplified again an now a constructor only needs to make the monocoque and bodywork. Everything else can be purchased.

Haas opted to have Dallara manufacture the chassis for the VF-16, while Ferrari will provide almost everything else. “We have the front suspension, rear suspension, hydraulics, steering, electronics all from Ferrari. Radiators we have to do as that is classified as bodywork” Steiner explains. “We are using these things to focus on the overall car design, why make an effort to do our own damper or something when we can just get them from Ferrari.. We have everything exactly the same as the Ferrari.”

Like the man says - why make an effort when you can just run a Ferrari. May as well make it a spec formula and be done with it.

    • Pressure when IDLING, is meant to be 51PSi... So that amperage value needs to go up a fair chunk... I'd personally be factoring for more like 12amp at least on those runs, and at that point you need to hope the already there wiring doesn't drop you a volt or two, as that's a lot of fuel pressure flow drop off from 13.5 to 12V! Taking idle pressure of 51psi, means the pump will be drawing a MINIMUM of 9amps all the time based on your reading of the graph (3bar base, then allowing an extra 0.5bar for boost = roughly 51psi)
    • Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D    
    • Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D  
    • Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.
    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
