I just used Rosberg as an example seeing as he is at the heart of the conversation and he has out qualified Hamilton 8 times this season (hardly a lame duck is he), the point being, it will never be an even playing field in any format and thats beauty of motorsport, as said somewhere else, you may as well just vote on the who is the fastest and give them the title and forget the whole season if thats what is wanted every year, but that isnt motorsport

Hamilton and Rosberg crash first corner and are both out, Alonso wins but some still will say Hamilton is the fastest, haha

Isnt that gp2, lol? Even then people would debate who was fastest, you would still have mechanical failures, accidents causing dnf's A championship isnt about the "fastest" driver winning, its about who has been the most complete package over a season,.

Find the aerial power supply, colour codes or wiring diagram is on here if you do a search, then just 12v supply to it

^^ Is there not the possibility that had he not had the points advantage he would have had to push and you may have seen more moves like the verstappen one, but he just did what he needed to do once he had the points lead in the bag, as earlier with the fastest laps stats, he obviously has the pace if he wants or needs it, but he did enough to give him the title, sorry, lewis to give him the title to keep a balance Marc Marquez totally shot his chances in MotoGp last year as he wasnt satisfied with anything but first or at least podium because he wasnt prepared to settle for some points, he knew this and admitted this season would be different, he learned fast at 21 and won this year with races to spare.

Yep i read them, do you

Maybe the damage was done earlier to get that advantage? Yeah yeah, we get it, you dont rate Rosberg, the more you say he didnt deserve it and won by default, doesnt make it true

Good point, so you know for fact Lewis wasnt pushing causing his engine to blow then?

Interesting discussion re Nico/Hamilton, a little stat i have just seen, fastest laps over the season, Hamilton 2, Rosberg 6 and 2 retirements to Rosbergs 1, i think there might be a little dont let the facts get in the way of a good story here

Absolutely imho

Consider possible repair bills within your budget, whilst normally very reliable, consumables can be costly, clutch and flywheel £800, decent tyres £500 plus, decent brake discs and pads £500 plus. Basically allow a contingency fund within your ownership.

^^ perfectly explained, to finish first, first you have to finish. If the best driver on the grid "should" win every year and anyone else is undeserving you might as well forget the points and just give the title to Hamilton no matter what car he drives or whoever you think is the best. I really do hope the other manufacturers bridge the gap next year, but I cant see it.

Notoriously tricky to bleed by all accounts, the master cylinder is often the culprit, there is a thread somewhere on how to properly bleed the master cylinder. You could try wedging a piece of wood to engage the clutch, leave it overnight, hopefully forcing the air through. Zmanalex is pretty helpful with this sort of thing should you need to contact him.

As an example , the best induction for the 350z is the std air box with a decent panel filter, open filter induction kits actually loose power, but people still fit them, so I guess dyno figures are not important on here and the x pipe is just do with the note achieved by mixing the pulses from each bank of the v configuration. Its a lazy big capacity 3.7 ltr v6, not a high revving small capacity 4 pot that probably responds better to breathing mods, your asking questions and not liking the answers, no one is lying mate, its just the way it is.

On paper, yes, in performance, no, so why does it matter? except for pub banter, its certainly not significant. Its a 1500kg plus car, I have driven an upreved 350z and non upreved, so maybe 20hp if you take factory numbers as gospel, was the upreved any faster, no, did it feel better, yes, but i put that down to having the throttle restrictions removed, i have also been on track with both, i couldnt overtake the upreved, he couldnt overtake me, that is not significant. Just trying to say from experience of ownership, if your chasing figures, you will be disappointed, if you want a great rwd sports coupe, you will love it.

I am pretty sure its has Milltek on the tips if that helps.

i haven't a scooby doo.!! They work though. i'll try getting some of the other pics up How do you know if they work, have you crashed already Check out harness mounting specs buddy, they really wont operate correctly at that angle should the worse happen, god forbid. Not seen one of these for ages though, a welcome reminder

They arent silcencers as such, they are helmhotz resonators, designed to reduce certain unwanted frequencies, back pressure is immaterial, its not forced induction where removal of back pressure is important for hp gains, which leads nicely onto and as mentioned before, forget bhp talk, its just pub banter, if 357hp is the highest figure Horsham have achieved why would you question if its true? Even if some had achieved 367 or 373, put all three side by side, the difference would be barely noticeable, so why does it matter if its 357, 367 of whatever? Sorry if thats not what you want to hear, but if your chasing dyno figures, a na car is not for you. I also wouldnt be cutting up over a grands worth of exhaust, if you want custom sound, just go custom to start and after trying a few exhausts first hand, youtube really doesnt give much more than a guide, they sound very different in the flesh than through speakers, pop to a meet for an accurate appreciation.

Might be worth considering these mate, will give you a bit more compliance and then drop an extra 2". http://www.stanceparts.com/

Arbs sit no lower than std, poly bushing will just tigthen up the feel so if your not worried about handling I wouldnt bother, having said that, if your slamming it to the ground, it may be wise as you may beat the sh*t out of the std bushes. Good luck.

I would have thought most fans would want the other manufacturers catching up, watching merc 1, 2's most of the season is dull, no matter who you prefer from the 2. The only way Hamilton will move if there is a better car on the grid, or in the pipeline. No chance he is leaving.

Arbs will give less body roll/stiffness, winding up coilovers will just ruin the handling and the car will be bouncing around all over the place.

When needs must.....

The move on Verstappen, probably the most aggresive driver in F1, pretty much for the championship, balls of steel imho

^^ no more pop up headlights for that very reason
