Yep to help keep the F1 team going

Minardi is selling there F3000 team. The money from that and hopefully getting some of the TV money like they should for coming 10th in a race, will hopefully keep em on the track for the rest of the year.

So Webber can sell himself to the other teams

Sounds like we could be loosing another race team in the not to distant future then. It would be very sad for Webber to lose the drive....I did read yesterday on one of the European F1 sites that he might get a drive with Toyota,,,,,don't know how that would work,,,but

its a money thing ryan.

they can't afford to develop the car as much due to lack of funds.

also one of there past engineering ideas was to reduce power to increase reliability. Which has worked as the Mindari's seem to only not finish a race when they crash. They just gotta find some speed.

There always going to be a last place in F1...Mindari are the holders at the moment.

Briscoe.....uuummmmm. awsome driver, seen him in karts once or twice. I think if the Webber/Toyota thing came off it would be at the expensive of McNish. Briscoe would just wait till Salo moves on. His still young, and to be fair, isn't performing like he did last year. He just crashed the Toyota F1 yesterday too.

Don't forget Courtney. His still one of two drivers and i think yougest drivers win back to back Karting World Championships.

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!

      From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.

      That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.

      I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.

      If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
