...and if Renault do buy Lotus I hope they boot Paster and get Hulk in the seat. The team could do wnders wuth Bell and a bit more budget

They'd have more of a budget if they weren't rebuilding maldonado's car every time he crashes it (in other words, every round)

Monza is by far and away the shittest track on the calendar, there is no joy watching a drag race surrounded by one eyed inbreeds

There is a great elegance in not coming here and shouting Forza Mercedes in other fans faces

How have we not progressed from places like this, its amazing

Bahrain second, Melbourne third

Well them and the rest.

Ferrari are the closest to challenging MB but they aren't close.

RB is stuffed and will have to run Ferrari engines next year as MB told them to sod off.

Williams don't have the money to improve their car quickly enough.

Lotus are going broke and are waiting on a Renault buy out which is their only chance.

The less said about McLaren the better.

Sauber have no money.

Force it India have a bit more than Sauber but not enough to be competitive.

Torro Rosso will never amount to anything.

Manor will be lucky to be around in two years time.

Oh and Britney cant get anywhere near Hamilton.

So its all going well then.

Best thing about the Monza telecast was the BRM from 1971.

Monza was an OK race. Although DRS still gifts a place, making overtakes a non-event in most cases.

The bullshit surrounding F1 continues. The FIA imposed 168 places worth of penalties, Ricciardo was demoted 50 places due to engine and turbo swap. Alonso got dropped 10 places, Button 5 places. Who f**king cares? All these top drivers starting out of place at the back of the grid. FIA have lost the plot.

Also, there was some drama about Merc's tyre pressures late in the race. They were within the rules when the tyres came out of the blankets, the FIA decided to "spot check" them on the grid after they had cooled down and then found Merc to be below the minimum required pressure. Of course they will be! Ferrari obviously knew this was going to happen and pumped their tyres up a bit. But Merc ended up not being penalised, which is fine. But Merc told Lewis to speed up in the last few laps, but not why. Why is now known - to cover off a potential FIA penalty for having cold tyres with less pressure in them. Who f**king cares???

Too many goddamn rules.

    • Well, this is probably where a wiring diagram and a multimeter come into play.
    • I can say to anyone thats doing this; having done a number of R clusters; just be careful if its an unknown cluster.  It takes a bit of force to pull up; but if it feels excessive then its probably stuck. I've had this and pulled the entire hair spring out; and I can tell you; its not easy getting the correct spring replacement with the correct inner diameter and winding. In my case someone had used some sort of adhesive to stick it to the spindle and it pulled the whole spindle out; which the force seperated the hairspring from the spindal and caused it to deform.  You may have to clean it (IPA); or in my case if i'd known i should have used some sort of solvent on it.  Also check out Cruizin Central on eBay. He does all sorts of dials; and you can email him with any custom designs you want. So if you want like certain logos etc...he'll send you a mock of what it will look like then you accept the order and he'll take care of the rest. Fantastic dials and he can do basically any design you want. 
    • Have you confirmed its the actual axles? Also the wheel bearings that mount on the hubs to hold the axles wear out. I replaced mine as they got play in them. It sorted my play issue. 
    • Ive converted a few clusters for the R33 with 320km/h dials. On the back there are some pads which can be bridged or unbridged (using solder or wick braid) to calibrate it. There is one bridge which is for MPH <> KPH; and there are combinations of bridges to offset it. There is probably a diagram  For example; this is my conversion for a 180km/h dial to a 320km/h dial (I put custom GT-R dials on it with the GTS25t layout) If you have J2 soldered (assuming the S clusters have a similar config to the R clusters); you may need to remove that solder
    • Back on topic 😉, these are some of the notable pages from the booklets that are supplied with each weekly parts update. I never knew the BNR32 test mule car had an S13 Silvia front end... *Edit: On closer inspection the test car still had the R32 body, but only the front end had Silvia panels etc.
