Yeh..i suspect test colours and will do a flip for Melb

Gutted F1 is without Lorus again...i understand the heritage wasnt really there but people recognised the hustory of the name and recognition it commanded and chose to at least keep the great name alive.

Will go back to holding my breath that some loaded chap wants to bring the name Tyrrell back

I like it, but I think I read somewhere that it is indeed just a pre-season livery.

Will miss the black and gold Lotus colours thats for sure

Black and Gold were not Lotus colours really. British Racing Green and yellow were. The Black and gold livery was cigarette companies colours, same as the blue and yellow that nobody remembers.

Never really cared for the corporate bankers/capitalists trying to claim the Lotus heritage. They could have had it for $2 back in 1994 but no one wanted it then. So they pay millions for it years after it has lost most of its value. Was happy enough with the Toleman/Benetton/Renault lineage. Don't forget this was the team that gave Derrick Warwick (A former Renault factory driver too, by the way) and some bloke called Senna a break. Plus Johnny Cecotto drove for them if you wanted to follow a Venezuelan.

BTW, best driver combination ever: Johnny ChookLotto and Gianfranco BrokenTellie, Bathurst 1987.

    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
    • You think its the AFM? I know its a common issues on R32s. I find it coincidental how this issue raised right after cleaning the fuel system. As everything except the fuel system was fine before. I tried running it with the IACV unplugged but did not notice a difference and still stalled. However, the RPM gauge is not in the cluster right now, so I will need to connect the laptop again and use Nistune to check the RPM. I will check this weekend.
