  2. mickey

    Wcc Cruise

    this going nor or sor?
  3. worth testing some known to be working coilpacks I think, despite your belief the existing ones are fine.
  4. I have a similar yellow LED in the 06 accord I had, actually is quite useful and not annoying. Shouldn't be that hard to retrofit it'd just be the issue of getting constant power there.
  5. yeah I noticed esp. after the sphincter of the universe that Webber appears to talk/congratulate with Hamilton quite a bit and little pats on the back. Don't see the same mateship with Vettel I guess, he renewed the contract with RBR just to stick it to Vettel, I'd bet Webber's aim is to beat Vettel even with some team sabotage, whether or not he wins the race.
  6. shoulda taken it before the safety car
  7. poor kubica, alonso shafted him a bit then car probs
  8. ouchies, pride out the window, on the plus side there should be some big overtaking manouvers coming up from vettel as we've seen he's not afraid to shaft everyone into a corner. also, he's got the compulsory tyre change out? so maybe not such a big disadvantage.
  9. not to side with RBR but I probably would have done the same thing given that Vettel is ahead in the championship and therefore you would try to give him the best opportunity of winning the WDC. Of course my main gripe is that RBR did not provide the same support to Webber when he was leading the championship, by giving poor team orders in the sphincter of the universe in both the race and qualifying and using the bad strategy for Canada when clearly they should have made it Webber ahead of Vettel given their relative positions in the WDC at that time. It's obvious to see where RBR's allegience lies, I guess Webber signed on for further years because he thinks RBR is still the best chance for a WDC win in the coming years, but he'll be saddened to find out he'll just end up like Barachello.
  10. consider getting the newer ones with the more robust 5 speed auto, shouldn't cost too much more, and cheaper to repair if there are any issues.
  11. should put up the map to drive from here to the start point
  12. afaik the main reason the tunnel doesn't have cameras is the walls of the tunnel tend to bounce the waves and could interfere with the accuracy of a read out. MRWA do have speed sensing cameras that can determine the speed and do actually show it on their monitors, I have seen a readout. The real reason MRWA does nothing else is the footage from MRWA cameras are not actually recorded at all, so even if you did 150km/h through the tunnel they wouldn't keep a record of it...some guy in the monitoring station would probably get a laugh though. How they plan on pinning you through the tunnel is with average speed cameras at either ends, afaik they should be operational by now. These would average out the speed you do in the tunnel to see if you have exceeded the 80km/h on average.
  13. check with DOT (no DPI now). I would think it's a good idea to stop people from selling 'dodgy' cars, fixing them up cosmetically and then reselling without a statutory or any other warranty being applicable. Some car sales people and even dealers have been caught selling cars privately that were write-offs or structurally damaged, fixing them up and then selling them to get around the need for a roadworthy vehicle or warranty. You have to be careful, there's some dodgy people out there I had one guy who bought/sold about 20 cars by buying write-offs and fixing them up as a panel beater/mechanic which you can't do if chassis rails are bent or the like.
  14. I blame global warming
  15. yeah problem with NFS games is the whole handicap system where lame cars keep up with some pretty impressive cars all from a few bolt on mods. Physics were never that good, so really you would treat it as an arcade game. NFS Porsche was probably the best NFS game in terms of physics accuracy and the like, I played that game for ages to try and get all the porsches around. Each one handled great, with real changes to handling with damage and mods. Had a lot of promise, they should have did NFS Ferrari
  16. try smugmug, that's what I use.
  17. lol all the cars being investigated after the race...really how hard is it to do it now? might make the race more interesting with a mass drive thru
  18. hat will be eaten
  19. damn went to a different church that went over 12pm, bah! next time
  20. are there paid slots going to waste? If so, I will try my darnest to be there yes/no/maybe?
  21. what is more important for response/lag is having shorter/less piping. Keep the snake short.
  22. I got my BSB 34 because I love that colour. Black looks mean but after previous black cars I swore once I went black, I'd never go back because I just couldn't keep the damn thing clean for more than 12 hours. For me also I preferred an unmolested and stock example, so mine is stock apart from the wheels. If not BSB then most likely the charcoal grey. The 34 MNP colours don't suit it in my opinion and the chamelion MNPIII is really paint that screams from the hypercolour era...about as fashionable as spinners on your rims these days. 33GTR is fine with the MNP, not 34. White is also great for a 34gtr, I think the main problems being it's sometimes hard for ppl to recognise as a GTR, they assume it's your bog standard GTT. Most BSB 34's are GTR's though yep and I think you'll find the 36k kms unlikely
  23. looks like vettel gonna push for it... aww he got P1
  24. not far off rosburg, and his car had a problem apparently...of course excuses don't cut it Q3 under way
