If you want a Japanese team to win, at least go with the tried and true.

Bring back Mazda.

Did you see the big #1 on the Toyota car???? How do you think they got that?? Possibly won the championship last year maybe???

less buying wheels, more driving / pics pls

what a perfect result!!!

holy shit car haiku lold me hard!!!!!!

shit is unreal, so much attention to the small stuff!

2 week yawn fest barring the crashes TBH, this is a testament to the "excitement" levels of the racing.

if your crashing on a course effectively by yourself where all you have to do is turn left, there is serious issues either with the drivers skills or the cars design.

Oh and fuck me those cars are abominations

would have to re cert, different head design....

Britney? was good, Ferrari leaving Vettel out instead of covering Hamiltons Pitstop was a bit of a brain fart..

Bring on Cote D'Azur!!!!!

lets hope Hamilton fucks out royally and scores 0 points. Go Nico and Kimi!!!!!

It's also listed on Goo-net and has the chassis number listed as AE85-5002***

Old mate will be spewing......assuming he didnt know....

when did theybring back forced induction? And wtf is a MGU-H?

They went back to 1.6L v6 turbos Last year. my very basic understanding is They now have 2 types of Energy Recovery System onboard, MGU-H (motor gererator unit) coverts the turbo rotation into electricity and stores in the batteries, the MGU-K collects Kinetic energy from braking (Through the crank) also stores it in the batteries. They get something like 33 seconds a lap of electric power boost of 130 odd hp, which is run back through the mgu-k to the wheels.

Hes such a fucking muppet.

Best thing for F1 would be, way bigger simpler aero (circa 2004), fuck the over complicated ers off in favour of a the previous system, and organise the race schedule so they arent constsntly going back and forth across the globe all year (all asia pacific, then americas, then europe & middle east etc) That would save a fortune for all teams.

although its a tricky one as it should be then pinnacle with essentially no rules but then only 1-2 teams would continue due to costs

god i hate that smarmy Hamilton prick.

Whoever is backing Maldonado is the most patient / stupid person ever, he's so fucking useless, missing pit entry, spin for no reason, then the Button contact.

Good race from 5th back

holy crap they look terrible, kinda like the thalidomide cousins of F1.

That farm looks familiar-ish.....Frostys sisters out Goon / Ohoka way??

moving to Brizzy in a fortnight, registering interest!!

so your going to get it certed at stock height, then drop it back down? Kinda defeats the point of cert doesn't it......

Its a bit of a joke when only 15 cars start a race. Then the whole debacle with Sauber and what happened to Marussia? they were there but not racing, they really need to sus out a way to make it more affordable as without the teams there is no F1, I understand this is somewhat counter productive with the "Pinnacle of motor-sport" that F1 is, but it needs to happen, it needs to be less complicated.

How about Sainz and Verstappen before he crapped out!!! KIMI was going awesome too before his pit crew fucked it for him TWICE!!!

FYI, if you own a car for over a year while living overseas, you can bring it back as part of some "returning residents" exemption thing. My olds did it bringing their '06 SL500 merc back from the UK a couple years ago. Doesnt have to meet any standards at all.

First piece of advice is......The gearbox is still called a K50 even tho its behind a A series engine.

Will need a new fuel feed line (8mm ish) from the tank to the engine bay, use the standard feed as the return.

Will need a "custom" clutch basically a 4age cover and a K50 splined plate.

the rest is just wiring pretty much, factory radiator etc will be fine, stick to using all FWD water pumps and pullys etc rwd shit is expensive and uncecessary.

If you can get "legit" SET of jap wheels in a 15X8/9 0ish offset for less than a grand feel free to send the link, need to double that based on what i've been looking at lately, then there is the wait and the unease of buying from overseas if you don't know people etc etc

At the end of the day its a K series with like 50 HP its not a race car it doesn't need forged wheels.

I spent about an hour and a half trying to chisel a section out of an ae92 floor to weld into my fxgt and then realized I was chiseling slightly in the wrong area. Gave up and went home.

Just set a new bar for "Rough Cunt".......fuck me

Back again, fitted Sam Q water relocation kit and new Fenix radiator. Did a few other bits but nothing pic worthy, Still doesnt run, but am waiting on new Dizzy cap, rotor and leads, then it should be all gravy i think. Off to VINZ/VTNZ etc tomorrow to see if its can be re vinned etc etc. Anywho, crappy pix of shiny Rad and re routed water lines kind of
