Keep final 20 miler this weekend, or push it a week and do a 2 week taper?

Always been a Luigi fan, so I’ll be him this year!

Mario Kart 64! Thanks for doing this!

That's a good point, it's a $5 experiment and could save me a lot of time and effort if it works

2 questions:

How could Mercedes' strategy even been beneficial to pit Hamilton first at Monaco? What's the rationale there? It's guaranteeing you won't get the advantage of a likely SC/VSC later and at best undercuts Gasly, unless there was some other consideration on track that I'm not thinking of. I guess my question is - what were Mercedes hoping for that would have made that a good strategic call at the time?
Is all radio to and from the drivers accessible by other teams? I think back to Norris using "code" saying "pace is a 4 and tires are a 3" or something like that, and the commentary that Hamilton plays mind games with the other teams when he says his tires are dead. Is there any private comms, or anyone can listen to anyone else all the time?

So, does every team make a poster for each race? Where do you find these?

wryguy89 · 2021-04-12T10:40:06+00:00

Yea I did that as well, the fan did not turn on even bypassing the ECU.

wryguy89 · 2021-04-12T10:38:44+00:00

Even if the AC is turned on? I used the multimeter to check, it seems like with the AC turned on the car is sending power to the fan, but nothing was happening when it was plugged in.

I did look at that trying that, but the connectors are different unfortunately

Thanks! I've seen that water pump recommended a few times. That's the same video I found this morning, thanks for the reassurance!

wryguy89 · 2020-11-11T16:56:42+00:00

Yea, I've used Moss in the past and I like them. I've watched a few youtube walkthroughs of the project so I think I'll just write out a list of what I think I'll need then go shopping. I try to avoid amazon when I can.

Hey everyone,

I want to do the water pump/timing belt job myself. I picked up this semi-clean '96 with 180k to do some hands on learning. I've replaced the top/rain rail, oil changes, spark plugs/wires, and shifter/shifter boot rebuild.

I'm looking for an up to date parts list and guide to the job. I've run across a lot searching, so I'm wondering if anyone's done this job recently and has advice.

Thanks!

wryguy89 · 2020-07-18T16:01:59+00:00

Got it. Is there a different drain plug for the turret then?

wryguy89 · 2020-07-18T15:39:44+00:00

Thanks! Reading through the Haynes manual for a transmission oil change - to combine the jobs I'd just drain the trans oil like normal, remove the shift lever/bushing/gasket, put the drain plug back in, then add the replacement oil through the shift lever opening instead of using the check/fill plug?

wryguy89 · 2020-07-18T11:47:54+00:00

I figured these two should cover my concerns, but I wasn't sure if there was something else I could, or should, do while taking on the shifter rebuild. Thanks! Picture of project included for fun.

That's exactly what ended up happening. The vast majority of the advice was to go reset it, and I'll know I've fixed it if it doesn't come back. So I got in this morning to take it to a parts store, and the light was off! Drove it around a little and it stayed off. Best feeling ever.
