4th and 5th gear through hairpins??

Yeah, media prep must have been, "spin as much bullshit as you can..."

If this was the case, then the engineers fubarred up bad selecting the ratios for the year.

Anyone one interested in Formula 1 and Senna in particular should watch Senna, its a great film and talks about that weekend with ratzenburger and how Senna was speaking about not racing to the doctor at the time

Another reason why I am pumped for Williams this year. People are sayings its more fact than rumour...lets hope so. Awesome looking cars, look reasonably reliable and fast to date....Williams to be the Lotus creeper team of 2014 and will be putting money on them winning a GP this year

The only thing about a potential Lotus fail this year that makes me happy is that Maldonado will fail badly with them.

Want to see Bottas do well

Also on the f1 movie conversation rush comes out on DVD in two days.

If anyone is stuck on a plane there is a one hour tv doco about Hunt & Lauda on most airlines now, along with Rush. Tells the actual story and is pretty good. And when I say pretty good I was stuck on a plane for 7 hours so it may have in fact been absolute shite.

Would be awesome to see the Martini colours out there. I also have to agree with the feeling that Williams will be up the order this year. I may just be hoping that Massa can stick it up everyone with a win.

    • Another question sorry, what stainless do u use in the turbo external WG plumb back piping? Is it 321, 316 or 304?
    • Right, its been a while for updating this car, but I made some small but important progress today. In the end I bought an Ecutek dongle from the Australian distributor Tunehouse (for local hardware support) but have gone with a remote tune from Racebox in the US (because they have done millions of these, and I could not find any tuner where I could access the tune anyway as they are all password locked). The App is reasonably easy to work with, but the PC software reminds me of Haltech's ECU Manager that you need to use with the Plat Pro ECUs, it is a nightmare.  Anyway, I sent the details over, got back a tune file and a request for data logs. I finally got a chance to access a private test track today as they want redline logs in 3rd and 4th, and have sent them back for the first round of reviews. The main difference in the tune is going from 1.0 (stock) to 1.3 bar (19psi), although I'm sure is a lot of other stuff in the background. Keeping in mind this is a dead stock car with 125,000klm, this is what the App's performance test claimed: Before After Interesting to note that both 400m tests had the same terminal speed (158klm/h) but different ETs. And no, the speed limiter seems to be higher than that at 186kl/h. Summary of the key logged parameters for the 3rd and 4th gear runs were: Those little turbos were certainly whizzing at 200,000rpm+.  Also I'm really not that excited about oil pressure 55psi at redline so I think I'll go thicker than 5w30 (nissan recommend 0w20....) and see if that improves it. Other than that (and the big boost spike....) everything looks good as a start to me.
    • Just one more post to show the final result and the original "janky" solution for a laugh. Everything feels really tight and no wobbling at all, very pleased 🙂
    • After drying a few days, time to put her back together
