He's Signed up the the Citroan 2nd team, but he's not garenteed a run in every round.

F*CK YEAH!

My two fave drivers!

Seb and Chris!

Surgeon precision vs heavy handed balls to the wall!

WRC is my favourite form of motorsport, and it's getting worse every year.

:D

I love watching the skills of Loeb & Co...

...especially after my skills went to the limit at "Rally School" lol

Rivetting stuff to watch & experience!

Yes, I hope rule changes encourage more manufacturers to come back when world finances aren't on the edge. :yes:

Well it looks as though the S2000 cars will definitely add some manufacturers back into the top flight for next season... but still no Subaru :)

Loeb once said he'd quit before dtriving an S2000 car so we'll see!

I fast forward the coverage when the S2000 cars come on. Sound shit. Look shit. Go shit.

I do hope they have some more pace to them, and perhaps a bit more torque for some nice sliding... but if not anything else at least the competition should get a bit better and hopefully we can get back to the early nineties when it was exciting to watch, not a two horse race.

See, I don't really notice the lack of manufacturer variances, I tend to focus more on the skill, the commitment, and the outstanding ability of the cars.

yeh same... i didnt even know for ages that there was more than one car to it... when the driving is fast and spectacular... it doesnt matter what car it is... and when the wrc car resembles nothing of the road car... then it doesnt really matter what colour it is and what badge is on it.. aslong as its fast and the drivers are pushing it.. those guys have large kahuna's.

See, I don't really notice the lack of manufacturer variances, I tend to focus more on the skill, the commitment, and the outstanding ability of the cars.

Which is why I still enjoy watching it, but the lack of variety of cars brings in too much tactics which ruin it for me (though I understand it). For instance we've had rallies this season in which Citroen has had the ability to slow up 3 cars to give 1 car a better starting position for the following day, and with more manufacturers involved this would be less prominent in my eyes, which should bring back more straight fights to the finish.

I'd also love to see other manufacturers in just for varieties sake, as I loved the 206's and Rexxies in the early 2000's. :)

    • It is an absolute lottery. They can and have died at stock boost with low usage at all. The turbos are now anywhere up to 36 years old!
    • Huh, wonder why it blew then. I never really beat on the car THAT hard lol I dailyed it and the turbo blew after 6 months
    • That's odd, it works fine here. Try loading it on a different device or browser? It's Jack Phillips JDM, a Skyline wrecker in Victoria. Not the cheapest, but I have found them helpful to find obscure parts in AU. https://jpjdm.com/shop/index.php
    • Yeah. I second all of the above. The only way to see that sort of voltage is if something is generating it as a side effect of being f**ked up. The other thing you could do would be to put a load onto that 30V terminal, something like a brakelamp globe. See if it pulls the voltage away comepletely or if some or all of it stays there while loaded. Will give you something of an idea about how much danger it could cause.
    • I would say, you've got one hell of an underlying issue there. You're saying, coils were fully unplugged, and the fuse to that circuit was unplugged, and you measured 30v? Either something is giving you some WILD EMI, and that's an induced voltage, OR something is managing to backfeed, AND that something has problems. It could be something like the ECU if it takes power from there, and also gets power from another source IF there's an internal issue in the ECU. The way to check would be pull that fuse, unplug the coils, and then probe the ECU pins. However it could be something else doing it. Additionally, if it is something wired in, and that something is pulsing, IE a PWM circuit and it's an inductive load and doesnt have proper flyback protection, that would also do it. A possibility would be if you have something like a PWM fuel pump, it might be giving flyback voltages (dangerous to stuff!). I'd put the circuit back into its "broken" state, confirm the weird voltage is back, and then one by one unplug devices until that voltage disappears. That's a quick way to find an associated device. Otherwise I'd need to look at the wiring diagrams, and then understand any electrical mods done.   But you really should not be seeing the above issue, and really, it's indicating something is failing, and possibly why the fuse blew to begin with.
