Yeah the trick is not to push the blowby through the head - either by bypassing it or reducing blowby, or both. That and reducing the pooling of oil in the head is the key to it. Problem is there is insufficient room in the engine bay for a cyclone type catch can which would separate the oil/air properly. Speaking to a few people it can be the last few hundred rpm that is used that makes a big difference to the amount of oil spat out of the engine. Not quite sure why that is.

Surely its just the foam in the things that coalesces the oil spray - much like the wire cages in the stock baffles. The problem I have with the Mines baffles is they take their feed from the rear of the head which is exactly where the oil pools under acceleration which corresponds with the time you are getting the most blow by. Hence the suspicion that they don't work as well as advertised.

Suspected this was the case. Good to get confirmation.

Well given the emphasis is on poms and point score. Hamilton won more points in the last race than John Surtees did in 1964 to win the world drivers championship. Kind of tells you where the current nonsense has got to. McLaren won 15 of 16 in 1988. MB 16 of 19.

Surely Honda would be telling Ron Dennis to stfu and rehire him? Cant imagine Magnussen not getting belted by Alonso.

Hey Serge did you sell your BBS's? Richard

You forgot to add the bit about him having a cry when he fights with his missus.

Homo isn't Senna. I know he tries with the emo thing and the religion but he just isn't. Senna had actual charisma and wasn't a sookie la la and that's just for starters. If Mc can build a decent chassis (Something which appeared beyond them the last few years) then they may be on for half a good year. The Renault and Ferrari motors aren't suddenly going to be on MB's pace so you'd think Honda would have half a chance to get as close as anyone? First step is to paint the thing orange.

For me it just makes it easier. Driver I don't like in a team I don't like. Easy. Hoping Kimi finds something for next year. Been sad watching him struggle so much. Will be interesting to see how Lotus go in 2015.

With some decent tyres the kinds of line pressures you generate are enough to pretty much stop the old absent from working anyway. I can't remember the abs activating in the dry on track. Not in the wet either but it doesn't rain much over here either. Also the cycle rate is so slooooow.

That Joe Saward link had an estimate. Its shitloads. More than enough to fix everyone's problems. Feel bad for Marussia they were a good team before they got to F1 and at the end conducted themselves with a lot more dignity and professionalism than Caterham.

Just to confirm: The Emo and RX7 PCD's & centre bores the same as Nissans? 114.3 & 73mm?

For my ten cents worth a good cage is worth doing properly. Eg http://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/417823-r32-gtr-drc-build/page-1

Given the amount of money Ferrari get they have historically underperformed. I just don't buy the argument they deserve more in the way of historic payments than anyone else because "they are important to F1". Well they are, but F1 is also massively important to Ferrari and there is no other series they would get the kind of publicity F1 brings them. Shouldn't mean they get 3x anyone else.

Just trying to understand the idea. Standard as possible and track don't usually go together. What track stuff are you doing?

Compressor is bigger than the clutch. Nice.

They have to keep the doors open somehow. Not like they are getting any useful sponsorship from other than the pay drivers.

There were some new Enkei's RPF1? for $1300 ish plus shipping which I would be ok with. First preference is to match what I have 17" titanium CE28's but they dont come up that often. Last time out I bought a pair with tyres in good nick for $750 which in retrospect may have been a bargain. Problem is because of the fitment thing everyone has 18's and hella flush offsets. 9.5" is the default width now it appears.

Yes x 2. Nobody really bothers looking at the WTB stuff. http://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/441306-wtb-rays-ce28n-17x9-titanium-silver/#entry7244727

Sorry but I don't have a facebook. Guess that is where everything has gone too which doesn't help.

Yeah been looking at Import Monster. Same same week after week and nothing I liked

Trying to find some rims for my car. Specifically a 17x9 +15 (or 22) in a BBS or Rays. There isn't much showing up on Yahoo in Japan and the local importer style sites all are months/years old with apparently no turnover in anything good. Can anyone suggest somewhere who may have something?

This thread makes no sense. What is stopping someone running 35lb? Stage 2 cams are all that is usually needed but it also depends on the turbo map - is it a Mercator projection?

They all are.

Also, w a n k e r s. https://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/news/formula-1-big-teams-sacrificing-income-135324887--f1.html Are these not the same people who wanted to redo their engines at a cost of how ever many million dollars? W a n k e r s.
