It's a whole lot less than half Dallara!

I was surprised to read how much Ferrari is in that car - it's every single fking thing except the tub, nose cone (even the wings are Ferrari clones) and engine cover. I'm a whole lot less impressed with Haas' results too.

It's not the lack of free to air that has turned me off. Half the time I watch a recorded race anyway cos I don't fancy still being up at 1am and having to work the next day. It's not the Mercedes d

Given the advantages they had by being outside the rules for a long time and then getting all the customer stuff you would expect them to be competitive. Will be interesting to see how sustainable it all is. They don't have sponsors and whilst HAAS has bags of money how much do you want to chuck away to finish 5th.

FORMULA 1 TEAM PAYMENTS FROM 2015

(Figures via autosport.com)

Ferrari — $192 million

Mercedes — $171 million

Red Bull — $144 million

Williams — $87 million

McLaren — $82 million

Force India — $67 million

Renault — $64 million

Toro Rosso — $57 million

Sauber — $54 million

Manor — $47 million

Note 2 of the 4 top teams get paid above their station. Ferrari didn't win any championships but got the most money. Red Bull got substantially more than Williams despite finishing behind them. System is rubbish.

I like the ability to procure components of other teams. Perhaps they lost needs to be pulled back a bit but the approach is right. Maybe its a for the first 3 three years of a new team thing....thrn revert to a shorter list.

Shame tonsee Sauber struggling at the moment with finances. I will be gutted if they go the way of Tyrrell and Lotus as they have done a solid job since moving into F1

      The obvious answer here is get a ND2/3 RF with the Targa top. The red is nicer, too!

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      This is the only point I can access with any floor jack and my car is SUV height - What's the actual suggested alternative here? I have also driven up on blocks in the past, but lets say you have a problem and the car is on it's wheels already and can't be driven up/off anything? Not a huge fan of bits of wood being spat in random locations either (it hasn't happened, but what-ifs occur) Perhaps I would also really enjoy having a quickjack :p Time to google quickjacks.

      M35 Aftermarket Fuel Pump

      By dawhitehonky · Posted

      The wires look to be a healthy gauge, more than I would think the pump needs. I guess another concern is if the FPCM will be happy with the extra current draw. I have heard they are a bit sensitive.

      M35 Aftermarket Fuel Pump

      It will be fine. The real question is whether the existing wiring is fat enough for the current drawn by the bigger pump. The 342 is not that hungry, but it will be well worth pointing an IR pyrometer, or even better, a thermal camera, at the pump hat wiring when it is running, just to make sure. Or, you know, just touch it to see how hot it is.

      M35 Aftermarket Fuel Pump

      By dawhitehonky · Posted

      Hi guys, Sorry to revive such an old post! The fuel pump in my M35 has finally given up, the car has been sitting for 3 years so I'm not surprised. I bought a Walbro GSS342 of Scotty some time ago, so I'll throw that one in. My question is, if my car has no performance mods at all, do I need really to mod the wiring to supply constant 12V? or will the new pump be just fine at the reduced voltage at idle? Thanks guys..
