i am a huge f1 fan, but how is 1 ment to defend his spot, when the guy behind u is so much more aerodynamic and slightly more powered than u....

well the argument for them is that they level the playing field somewhat, in previous seasons we have seen cars struggle to pass for 10+ laps and when they finally do they are suddenly 1.5 seconds a lap quicker. that indicates that it is too hard to overtake. whether DRS and KERS is the right way about it I'm not sure. I'd rather go back to a focus on mechanical grip, restrict the aero, being back the V10s or better yet V12s and rev limit and technology limit them to keep speeds reasonable. These V8s sound horrible and if F1 moves to 4 cylinder turbo I'll stop watching. Even hearing a V10 come out on track makes the hairs on the back of the neck stand up. The V8s sound horrible even moreso now they are doing part throttle blown diffuser trickery.

Was also nice to see the low fuel showboating by the fuzz in all three practice sessions amounted to nothing. Those sponsors getting a bit shirty?

Speaking of let downs, the only guy able to stop vettel from sending me to bed early tomrrow is rightly fcuked. Dont understand why you'd risk the one run in a place like Monaco? WDC now starting to looking all but decided

      I am currently going this route. I am curious how much horse power you put behind the cut bell housing? Collins was telling me I am going to crack it and bluh bluh bluh. Because I didn’t buy the custom fly wheel from him. I am looking for somewhere around like 500 hp

      Thanks @PranK for the updated member status, much appreciated! 👍🏼 Now, about those pics… Unfortunately I could only find ones that I took in the dark. I was soon to discover that underneath it wasn’t in the best shape, but it was mine and that’s all I cared about at the time 😆

      A little PU bush story

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Oh, and only having done this task yesterday, I've now driven the car ~60km since, and while it is hard to avoid placebo effect and confirmation bias, I reckon that some annoyances I had with the way the car has been behaving have improved. Which....kinda makes sense, I guess. If the bushes were really stiff and resisting rotation, they would have been contributing to the effective wheel rate. And if it was more so on one side (which it was, because one side was worse than the other) then.... you might imagine that the additional rate would be asymmetric, and potentially even different between compression and rebound. And so... the car has been twitchy at higher speeds - like freeway on ramps. It really shouldn't be. The wheel alignment is good and there are no (other) known problems elsewhere in the suspension. But at 90-100 on a long sweeping ramp, tiny steering wheel motions would make it feel like it wanted to rear steer. Quite nervous. At lower speeds it would heave about in a manner that it didn't use to. Didn't want to put power down, etc etc. Now...seems to behave better. Am going to have to concentrate on the various corners where it has exhibited weirdness, on the rare occasions when I can get a decent run at them without Methanial getting in the way in his D-Max/Ranger/LDV Van/etc.
