i know nothing about f1 but why did it take so long to start ?

LOL^

im assuming that was the first time it was fired up, and probably had rediculously cold plugs, hence he block needed to be hot before it fired.



that's just a guess tho

the def guy on the right is my favorite...



good post. i enjoyed the vid.

https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/dunno.gif I thought it was just running at low rpms until warm. So that was a starter running it the first half?

I dont think so, you can see the starter motor they use to spin the motor to the left...

Seems like it was running from the video start...you can see the brake rotors turning it is in gear. Hell, at about 0:17 in the vid you can see blue flames popping.....



The CRAZY thing is the guy right behind the car....with no hearing protection...you can even see his hair getting blown around...

Damn! that exhaust is taking some heat!!! wonder what material that is? and get some https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

inconel https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683561.gif never heard of exhaust made of that material! Must cost an Arm and a leg https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...R#>/unsure.png

Well, I'm halfway to paying for it, so I won't be able to type as fast after I'm done.

what does that mean?

He said it'd cost and arm and a leg and now I'm halfway done thanks to a good ole' rusty hacksaw.

oh, the exhausts in f1 cars are made of pure unobtainium

Well ****, now you tell me...

How many do you have? Does it come with shift mad quik yo power?

its made of inconel. The engine has to be warm to start (around 100 deg. c) otherwise the compression is so high that they cant turn it over
