11.9 of the Regs allows ECU controlled rear brake ...

It could also be a track distance “reminder” on what to set the brake bias setting to. That’d be driver controlled (legal) but if it appears onscreen like “Set Bias Mode4”...

The guys at Tuggeranong Transmission & Brakes have done a few odd bits for me. No complaints, but It’s been basic basic stuff.

There’s a few SE Asian countries that are RHD but they also have local industry serving them, and barely a GM presence beyond Thai built utes and Korean crap.

[Aaron]

Yeah that van based setup is similar to the Escort options, except they fabricate an entire pedal hanging assembly designed to do the masters above your toes which then bolts in place of the stock pedal...

Look at what people do for the Mk1/Mk2 Ford Escorts - being simile sized and vintage there my be transferable ideas (escorts were also Cable from the factory and most swaps involve Hydraulic).

[Aaron]

People want pictures with captions, they don’t want journalism and in-depth technical content.

by that standard I’m not “people”

Fair call...

so what do we think of Campos staging a comeback to F1 in 2021?

[Aaron]

I think the brakes are less of an issue than the aero that seemed to suddenly relieve the front end of grip under braking. There’s only two or three companies doing the brakes (Brembo, AP and ?)...

I think they shots themselves in the foot hard with the ZB. I’ve punted a base model around a bit and it’s alright, but it’s not a Commodore and it doesn’t have any of the Commodore...

Does it do some kind of staged pump feed so under low load it runs a single pump then arcs up pump two under full noise? Lose a pump and half the performance goes, depending which pump it’s either...

With the exception of Benz everyone’s 2019 car was a shit stack compared with 2018. It’s taken all the teams half the season to work out that whatever drugs their designers smoked when laying...

Racing Point Renault? Once it was Force India Renault

It certainly helps Mercedes having another power unit customer mixing it up against Honda, Renault and Ferrari. They don’t...

[Aaron]

McLaren I think are jumping because Renault hasn’t made any big noise about 2021, sure Ocon is signed for 2020 and 2021 but that’s it. They’re already comfortably better than the rest...

[Aaron]

It is and it isn’t. There would be people who pay $1000 extra a month into their loan (or offset) who could with clear conscience pull $50k out for a car and it’s a reasonably smart idea....

[Aaron]

depends on the package on offer, I had fuel cards that were pump price (less GST of course) another that was pump price minus a couple cpl and another card that had a monthly fee, plus a cpl charge for...

[Aaron]

It’s not a problem if it passes the states requirements for pollution just like any ICV. The Bike engine isn’t the issue except how some people implement them.

The most obtuse...

[Aaron]

The products on offer to the staff of our collective employer are rubbish.

for the most part the discounted car price is a fudge made my carving off GST and then rounding Down to the nearest...

[Aaron]

When I looked at these in 2013 they were good for space and features but the service costs were cranked up pretty high by Hyundai. They’re also a euro market car moreso than Asian market which...

It’s the way the rules are written for a detected irregularity. To the FIA it doesn’t matter why the irregularity occurred, it’s instantly disqualification of the session result. The...
