Yeah, the Renault looks much better out in the sunlight than it did in the dark studio shots which made it look like there was too much black. 
Not a fan of the shark fins, but i think all the cars look good. With Sauber's livery being the least good :P I particularly like the Williams, but it's hard to go wrong with Martini colours. The new cars are certainly much better proportioned than they have been for years.

This thread shows the popularity of F1 at the moment

Probably shows what happens when sports go to Foxtel and few people have access.  To be fair there has been some actual competition this year and atleast Ferrari are taking it up to Mercedes.  Shame everyone else is dropping off the pace.  Force it India and Torro Rosso are going well but other than that it is pretty dire.  McLaren are embarrassing.  Williams are going backwards, Renault have no race pace and RedBull cant lay a glove on MB.

Yes Ferrari have been winning races and fighting the mercs when they aren't in front, but the 'racing' is still a procession. If a car does make a pass, 99% of the time that's the end of the battle.

Compare it to MotoGP, even Fp1 is more exciting to watch than 95% of f1 races.

So that was a big stupid that dany got two penalties for the one crime and it was race controls fault from what i can see...

I usually try and watch the canadian gp as it always seems to be one of the better races but just couldnt this year

Surely not?  Nothing wrong with ramming someone then pulling alongside them to do it again.  If Hamilton wasn't there he wouldn't have hit him, so clearly the blame should be 50-50.

Mean while at Force it India things are all sweetness and light.

Is there a decent story anywhere about Ferrari supposedly burning oil as fuel?  Horner was pretty straight forward about that on the grid.

    • So I'll put filler past the repair area a bit to make sure I don't miss anything. Then I'll block it until it's almost level, put the guidecoat, then keep blocking until it's gone. Then it's still wavy.  In regards to hitting the panel, I saw this video might give more context - Skip to 0:47 he knocks it down. But yeah I'm sanding until the guidecoat is gone then checking because otherwise my filler is still well above the bodyline. Unless what you're saying is I should put guidecoat around it early, surrounding the filler then stip once it's gone?
    • I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
    • Stop looking at the garage floor, and turn the radio up a bit louder if there's any strange noises...
    • No. Turbo shuffle and surge/flutter are not the same thing. Specifically, on a GTR, turbo shuffle has a definite meaning. On a GTR, the twin turbos are assumed to be the same thing and to operate the same way, exactly. In reality, they do not. Their exhaust sides are fed and exhaust a little differently, to each other. Their inlet sides are fed and exhausted a little differently, to each other. Consequently, when they are "working" they are often at slightly different points on the compressor map compared to each other. What this means, particularly when coming on boost, is that one of them will spool up and start producing extra flow compared to the other, which will put back pressure on that other compressor, which will push the operating point on that other compressor up (vertically). This will generally result in it bumping up against the surge line on the map, but even if it doesn't, it upsets the compressor and you get this surging shuffle back and forth between them That is "turbo shuffle" on a GTR. It is related to other flutter effects heard on other turbo systems, but it is a particular feature of the somewhat crappy outlet piping arrangement on RB26s. There are plenty of mods that have been attempted with varying levels of success. People have ground out and/or welded more material into the twin turbo pipe to try to prevent it. Extending the divider inside it works, removing material doesn't. There are aftermarket replacement twin turbo pipes available, and these exist pretty mush purely because of this shuffle problem.
    • You can temporarily* use lock collars to keep it in place until you can do the bushes, back the nuts off, slide them in, snug back up. *temporarily is often for ever
