Minardi sells F3000 arm


Recommended Posts

Yep to help keep the F1 team going

Minardi is selling there F3000 team. The money from that and hopefully getting some of the TV money like they should for coming 10th in a race, will hopefully keep em on the track for the rest of the year.

So Webber can sell himself to the other teams

Sounds like we could be loosing another race team in the not to distant future then. It would be very sad for Webber to lose the drive....I did read yesterday on one of the European F1 sites that he might get a drive with Toyota,,,,,don't know how that would work,,,but

its a money thing ryan.

they can't afford to develop the car as much due to lack of funds.

also one of there past engineering ideas was to reduce power to increase reliability. Which has worked as the Mindari's seem to only not finish a race when they crash. They just gotta find some speed.

Ah so that's why. Everytime i hear about Minardi someone's calling them crap, and saying they are the slowest team in F1.. but like you said their cars are very reliable pity they can't keep up with ne1..

There always going to be a last place in F1...Mindari are the holders at the moment.

Briscoe.....uuummmmm. awsome driver, seen him in karts once or twice. I think if the Webber/Toyota thing came off it would be at the expensive of McNish. Briscoe would just wait till Salo moves on. His still young, and to be fair, isn't performing like he did last year. He just crashed the Toyota F1 yesterday too.

Don't forget Courtney. His still one of two drivers and i think yougest drivers win back to back Karting World Championships.

    • I have a radium fuel rail on my Greddy manifold and used the supplied radium fuel injector to manifold adapters (The round green things pictured). I did always wonder if you could just go ahead and use the second lower hole like you're doing... Wouldn't thicker o-rings solve your issue?    
    • From what I've seen and experienced first hand with those powder extinguishers, they're good to use to break a window and escape the car, and half the time then do f**k all to stop a fire. You just need much more than 1KG worth of powder. Not to mention, half the time it's an engine bay fire, and you can't easily, and do not want to completely open the bonnet, so you're left pretending to be an American Infantry... Spray and Pray baby!   And then 100% that shit is really destructive afterwards!   Realistically, those little ones at a race track might help you keep the fire from growing and give the fire marshal / truck a chance to actually get to you with their multiple large bottles.   For a road car, these days, prepare to deboard as quickly as humanly possible, and move to safety. Allow insurance to fix replace it (unless it's like a rare classic etc, then do nearly everything possible to save it!) Keep the little extinguisher with you to help protect other things around you from burning while you stand there singing "How can we sleep while our beds are burning?"   Secondly, powder extinguishers I freaking hate for indoor use, (this isn't really relevant to a car) as you will get a powder fog around you, and it can be disorientating.   When I did fire training when at BlueScope Steel, they have (had?) their own fire brigade on site. We did all the training, and at the end we were told, "If it's an indoor fire, and you need to use a powder extinguisher, we as the fire brigade would rather you just exit the building, you're more likely to get lost in the smoke and powder fog than do much help, so just GTFO" And pretty much that was what they said for most other fires too, grab extinguisher, if it's much more than paper in a bin fire, use extinguisher to get you and others out of the building to safety...   Part of me wishes when my Skyline caught alight many moons ago, I let insurance sort it out, instead of putting the fire out... part of me now says "But I've saved a classic before it was a classic!"
    • Hi all,  I have a older model of the Greddy Front facing intake on an RB25DET NEO Head. I've bought aeroflows fuel rail and injector kit (1000cc Bosche injectors) and I'm unsure if the fitment is correct. The injector o-rings fit in the intake hole but it's not snug. I can very easily rotate the injectors even when the fuel rail is mounted. The kit also came with multiple adaptors, they dont make it any more snug and using them raises the injectors up and i cant mount the fuel rail. I hope this makes sense I've asses a few photos.    Thanks so much guys. 
    • So, to run the 4g aerials to the booster, I had to get access to the rear bulkhead....bit of a mission. Hot tip, don't offer to help change the rear shocks for a mate with a v37.... Remove seat base, 2 clips that slide forward to release it the it lifts straight out Fold down rear seat (pull in from boot) The side bolster of the rear seat is not connected to the middle parts that fold. To remove unbolt at the bottom bolt then push it up off the top hook Then there is a plastic surround behind the seat back, 2 pop out clips, 2 bastard clips, some swearing at it is out Pop the rear seat latch surround off Remove door surround lower trim then side trim  Remove c pillar trim - 4 clips, pull inwards not forwards Remove metal brace - 5 bolts 1 nut Then you have got to the rear strut top...what a pain!
