its just Saubers nose with a bit of a moustache

the rip off mclaren paint scheme looks really good this year though

Yeah paint scheme flummoxed me for a while until I realised that it was easy - can in the mid pack is a Force India. Car trailing around to retire is the McLaren.

Mclaren and Red Bull are sooooo bad right now its giving FI, STR and even Sauber a walk up opportunity at points at most GPs.

Wasnt a bad race...thankfully Rosberg drove well. Cant believe how shit Kimi is all of a sudden. He has fallen off a cliff.

Time to get Rimain or Hulk in that seat. Bottas can stay at Williams

Kimi isn't shit all of a sudden, he's been shit for ages. Well not really shit, just mediocre with the occasional shit race. This year though he's decided to lift his game and make sure he's shit more consistently. He should've given up a few years back. But I suppose it makes it easier for Ferrari to employ a good driver as their number 1 driver without having to worry about team orders causing problems....

Interesting bit of trivia

By this phase of the season last year, the SAU F1 thread had around 1650 posts. Same time this year we are at what, 650-ish?

Certainly a loss of interest in the spectacle around here..

The fact that only half the races are shown live on fta tv probably has something to do with that. That's why I don't post much

Hey guy's chasing some ideas on the Brittish F1 weekend. I'm currently in Scotland visiting family and I'm thinking of driving down to Silverstone for the GP.

Has anyone done a day trip to the race before who can give me some idea of what to expect access wise or maybe have some ideas on where to watch from.

Thanks.

Yeah since I posted that I have been trying to find accomodation, got it sorted with the help of a few friends here then noticed the prices. FFFUUUAAARRRKKK that £377.00 for one day, I'll be watching it on telly me thinks.

Be hard to maintain the hatred for that lot If Dan signs. Would Tool have a no Dan clause in his contract?

Questions for the weekend.

How many engine blow ups for McLaren? Can they make Q2 with their new aero package?

How good will the B Spec Force India be?

How many engine penalties for the Renaults?

Will Ferrari be competitive?
Williams too, how will they go?

How much will Hamo beat Britney by?

They both have fairly level heads so should be racing each other without crashing, and there's nothing like a competitive team mate to to encourage you and the team, will be good for Vtool, and Fez.

Well hope to get my copy of MW's book tomoz... in the meantime...here is a juicy tidbit...

“When Ann (Neal, Webber’s partner) later pressed (Christian Horner) about why the team had never reprimanded Seb or issued any punishment for the ‘Multi 21’ incident, he admitted that the team had received a two-page letter from Seb’s lawyer a few days after the Malaysian race stating that they were in breach of his contract by giving him an ‘unreasonable instruction/team order’,” Webber wrote.

“Whatever (Vettel’s) thinking was, when he overtook me I wasn’t so much angry as very sad that the team had reached this sorry state.

    • GTSBoy on your suggestion on another thread I had a look at those injectors and ended up getting them because of the quality.  Got the expensive ones.  
    • Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan) 
    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
    • I have a heap that i have collected if you want some authentic ones still. Pm me if your interested!
