Louise copping loads in the face off his boyfriends :(

Harry...

JA "certainly from Hungary onwards, Red Bull was as good as anything else out there, obviously pretty much on a par with the Mercedes..."

hmmm... Yeah Hungary, where both Red Bulls broke through with podiums!

Sounds good, but it was only because both Mercedes cars and both Williams, as well as one of the Ferraris did themselves in... So RBR finished 2 and 3 by default, with a Torro Rosso hot on their heels in 4th...

Then onwards from there, comparing the guys with the same engines so you get an actual idea about their chassis, both Torro Rossos beat both Red Bulls at Japan, a track renowned for needing great high speed handling.

And again, both Torro Rossos beat both Red Bulls in USA, also a renowned handling track.

As is Brazil, where the Torro Rossos were right in amongst the Red Bulls too.

No way on earth are Red Bull on par with Mercedes! They cannot consistently beat their junior, lower budget team with the same engine. Put a Merc PU in it, and Red Bull would get blown away except for three tracks all year. Torro Rosso with a Merc PU would be a better contender for the season than Red Bull.

They'll be interesting next season with the 2015 Ferrari donk. Williams will need to be on the ball! And Red Bull will need a Christmas miracle with their PU to be anywhere near STR!

    • Don't do it if your gearbox box has already having syncro issues. The short hifter will put a greater load on them. If you must I remember Nismo did a shorter shifter, with the top part being physically shorter and the part that went into the gearbox was the same as stock. In saying that I've had a C's short shifter (I think) in mine for many years, which was given to me as the previous owner was not sympathetic to the gearbox. Thus forwarned I was careful and had to modify my normal changing style. You have to be super accurate with your clutch and shifts
    • Well, after a week of daily driving and having to crawl out between the wheel and the side intrusion bars. I got myself a quick release setup. I went with an NRG short hub and Quick Release with some cute heart cutouts on the pull tabs. Nice and matchy matchy with the rest of the interior accents I have going on.  The only downside is the total stack height even with the short adapter is longer than the old HKB boss kit. Luckily I had some adjustment left on the column so move the wheel away.
    • stock shifter with new bushes, springs and cup will improve it. Gktech do all the bits. The opinion as the years have gone on is the redline is not great in old gearboxes.
    • Hi all   what short shifter do you use on your skykine r34?   my synchronous does have a problem and i was getting huge delay and grinding sound between 2nd and 3rd, did put shockproof red heavy stuff and it is great now/ no issues   would in your view short shifter screw this up?   people seems to suggest/ use cube short shifter and there is standard and premium. Seen review of premium as much better and less play. Thoughts?
    • Yeah, there's a bit of a density and friability difference between pebbles and any of those other things. Silicone will definitely float in oil and so will be mobile enough to move around. Although, again, if it is upstream of the filter it really shouldn't go any further. I would only ever worry about silicone when it is in places downstream of the filter. Upstream of the pickup is a whole 'nother matter. We've all seen what that does. I have seen the most abominable crap settled out in industrial gearboxes, trunnion lube systems and the like, without any sign that any of it has touched anything in the machine. Just chilling in the bottom, waiting for the inevitable operator error that causes the whole machine to need to be dismantled for repairs.
