Yeah it worried me when I put the pump in my engine. Still don't like it as a pump but there isn't really a good RB26 solution, even after all these years.

Tomei pump is adjustable but you need a couple of things to do a decent job of it: 1. A bolt to screw into the housing on the outside - you bore it out a little so the spring has more length to work with. 2. Springs. The two Tomei send you are either too much is used together or too little if you just use the one large one. So what I did was used a spring from a Nismo pump and set it such that it has 3mm longer (From memory, I think) to work with than with the Tomei bolt. Gives you lower pressure at idle but larger pressure at higher revs than just a single Tomei spring.

Problem being his pace on his second last tyre set was rubbish. They looked to be going away at the end worse than Verstappens. Problem with that observation was there was a point midway through the race where Vestappens pace fell away and I thought his tyres are shot. But they hung in there so who knows. Anyway RB looked to have two good drivers neither of whom appear to be knobs. First time ever?

OEM are hollow.

What he said. Plus suspension and brakes.

Maybe the stars will align and Homo will get a car that works at a GP he gives a fk about. Maybe. Or Sebastian McSwearface will not back off half way through a corner and get shunted again. These sorts of records are all bullshit anyway. Jim Clark won his championship (One of two) in 1965 with 6 wins out of a 10 race season. Except he didn't turn up to Monaco so it was 9 races. Worth 54 points in total for the WDC. About what you get for winning in China & Mongolia or similar. Cars are massively more reliable than they ever were and advantages gained are so entrenched by the rules and politics as to be laughable. Used to be just Ferrari would veto bad decisions because it gained them a temporary advantage. Now everyone does it.

There is a framed version too. http://autopics.com.au/295-nissan-gt-r-bathurst-winner-1991-1992-signed-and-framed/

Turn up to a V8 round and stalk him? You could probably get Crompton's whilst you were there.

Not really my thing but may be of interest to some. And by some I mean Terry. http://autopics.com.au/95-nissan-gt-r-bathurst-1000-winner-1991-1992-signed-by-mark-skaife-jim-richards-fred-gibson/

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.

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.

Reckon Hamilton will sort his starts out?

Supplementary dumb question then: What did you use for a valve spring compressor?

Just out of interest what size & thread pattern is that. Also you changed the valve springs with the head on or off?

Webber needs to call people mate more often. Sad but not unexpected to see the Renaults struggle so hard. Also this:

The A048 semi slick has a bad reputation for degrading in grip as it gets heat cycled. The A050 is regarded as much better. You will belt the front left around Wanneroo in a GTR.

Best of luck. Yokohama motorsport are happy to give fk all in the way of discount. Yes that's right, fk all. Oh and stay away from anything with 48 in the number.

Maybe your triple decaf extra hot soy latte sugar free almond milk chino with chocolate? I would dump the oil and check for go fast glitter.

Or just post the we address into the page on translate.google.com and press translate.

Done loads of track days and other than the odd paint chip there isn't usually a problem. Put some tape over your headlights if you are worried about them. Don't follow people closely in the corners and you wont get much chucked at your car.

Don't follow closely behind other cars.

Black and Gold were not Lotus colours really. British Racing Green and yellow were. The Black and gold livery was cigarette companies colours, same as the blue and yellow that nobody remembers. Never really cared for the corporate bankers/capitalists trying to claim the Lotus heritage. They could have had it for $2 back in 1994 but no one wanted it then. So they pay millions for it years after it has lost most of its value. Was happy enough with the Toleman/Benetton/Renault lineage. Don't forget this was the team that gave Derrick Warwick (A former Renault factory driver too, by the way) and some bloke called Senna a break. Plus Johnny Cecotto drove for them if you wanted to follow a Venezuelan. BTW, best driver combination ever: Johnny ChookLotto and Gianfranco BrokenTellie, Bathurst 1987.

How do you tell what size they are - you measure them. Verier callipers aren't that expensive.

Maybe? http://www.upgarage.com/upgarage/stock/1/2/1512932004999/932?size=ll
