do you happen to know what the silver disc was for in front of the the front suspension actuators?

Maybe a gyroscope?

This is an absolutely incredible thread. Please tell me PPBB is still going with this.

Hi poppopbangbang
Hi to all

great post that unfortunately i have seen only now.

I'm a fan of Minardi F1 team and of 2000-2010 era of the formula 1 car. That period is my passion and so thanks a lot for the pictures and all the info in this post.
The V10 sound was music.

One question if possible about especially minardi F1 cars.

For pure passion i'm rebuilding a TJ2005 V10 engine used in the minardi PS05 f1 car, only for display use of course.
The last Minardi F1 car, the last Cosworth V10 Engine. I think is a big piece of history.
I would want to complete this TJ2005 engine and show it in my garage to all my friends

For this reason , i'm looking for some parts of this cosworth engine.
I have seen in this post many pictures of minardi F1 parts and many info about and so for this i ask.

Do you know where to find parts available for this engine to purchase (new/used/damaged/broken can are ok)?
I Need Carbon camcovers, the right head cilinder (right seeing the engine from front, where is attached to the chassis), the exhausts, the airbox with the trumpets/throttle parts, some electronic carbon case (only case is ok) , Oil tank, official documentation and some others parts.
Are for display , so if they are new or used/damaged/broken, are ok.

I have tried with Cosworth directly and with modatek but unfortunately they can't/don't want help me

Can you help me or someone can help me to find something to complete this dream ?

However thanks a lot for this post and for all the info in it

Regards

If it's for display purposes only you might be best off 3D printing some of these parts and then getting them airbrushed to look like the original components.

I have just tried to e-mail you but unfortunately you're not accepting mails. If you ping a message for my attention to the address on the tour-de-force.co.uk site I'll happily tell you where you can source 90% of the bits you need

[Tj2005]

Hi poppopbangbang

I tried to send many mails in these months to the site you wrote but unfortunately without reply.
I tried to send mails here, but is not possible to send you directly mails.

Please, how can i do to contact you ?
Unfortunately I have not found nothing in these months of the parts i need.

Please, let me know
My mail is [e-mail]
Thanks a lot in advance

Hi!
I know the thread is very old, but I was wondering if it is actually possible to get the schematics of the hydraulic circuit somewhere?

Poppopbangbang - have you thought about producing Youtube videos similar to the Retropower content? I think a lot of people would find the technology fascinating.

[RumbleOfThunder]

Absolutely. With your access to such cool kit an audience would build up in no time.

[Podie]

That'd give me a third channel to watch!

Yeah, would love to see something like this - fascinated by the stuff that Minardi did on a tiny budget

I'd LOVE to see that.

[poppopbangbang]

Sorry to disappoint chaps but I'm retired these days. Whilst I'm still doing bits within motorsport it's very much for the love of it.

However I'd recommend you watch Driver 61s channel on YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/c/Driver61/videos Scott and his dad Kevin have quite a few videos explaining the tech of this era of F1 and it's well worth a watch.

We'll make sure you get in to a lovely nursing home if you make us the videos. I promise.

[Mr Tidy]

What an amazing thread!

But it looks like I've discovered it slightly too late.

Enjoy your retirement ppbb, and thanks for all the fascinating insights.

I thought that was what retired chaps did - talk about their days at work! I'd certainly watch/listen if you shared your love of motorsport via youtube or a podcast

Retired but not finished perhaps...?
