  1. It means the Ferrari is crap and Kimi is doing an amazing job and not a fan boy like so many other drivers running around saying how bad the car is...people have been assuming he has simply been off in la-la land on race day when he is driving the wheels off the thing. But it seems that they will welcome the guidance of Alonso next year with regards to developing the car
  2. I am looking forward to testing my theory next year... if Kimi ends up back at McLaren i suspect it will prove my 2007 theory that Lewis had a bigger problem with Alonso as a team mate compared to Alonso caring about Lewis being competitive. The past two years with Hakki, i mean Heiki as a team mate has meant the only pressure he has had to concern himself with was red cars, not the guy in the other team bay. I think Fisi jmping into the Ferrari shows that the car is crap and the results Kimi has been able to get from that car is mega impressive...and i have never heard him blame the POS car. Just gets on with business
  3. Louise is looking pretty strong with the same sort of fuel load as Vettel, who on that long run has to be odds on to be leading at the end of the first lap. Lets hope for a wet race to mix it up and give Webz a chance from the back. Hopefully he is nice and agressive and doesnt shy away from the recent penalties he has been copping
  4. What the weather going to be like? Webber from pit lane after 5 cars go of on the first lap
  5. When i was about 16 my dream Z was in Street Machine, thing was mint and ran a V8....18 years later one is for sale and i am so tempted to buy it. But having owned a 65 Chev i would only ever buy a restored car....panel beaters make fixing up old cars far too risky as they are mega expensive for fixing issues you didnt spot at purchase time
  6. Yeh poor Fisi, i think people will be easier on Badoer now seeing how much trouble Fisi is having in the car, which puts into light what a sensational job Kimi has been doing driving the POS!
  7. Annoyed that the RBR is looking like a gun chassis this weekend and Webz parked it into the wall in Practice
  8. FFS...get your car back on the road!
  9. But the qualty is pretty poor compared to others available
  10. If you want to be different you could always try the IHI based Power Enterprises turbos, something like the TCW 15 A/R13 or PE1919T for a bolt on combo
  11. What manifold are you running? I honestly believe you cant go past a TD06 on an RB20. No other turbo seems to give them 250-260rwkws with far better drivability then in the graph you posted. My car on a similar Mainline dyno made 244 or something with less boost then i run these days. If you have to stick with a T3 flanges turbo then either then the 3071 makes the most sense
  12. Well so thankful i am not in Japan, weather is terrible. Perfect for watching from the comfort of home
  13. What gearbox is behind the SR20 in the S14?
  14. Was doing a bit of homework today and need to get a setup for the end of the month. Came accross the HQR2 Recorder with Sony HQ Camera kit. See ... http://www.dogcamsport.co.uk/hqr2-head-camera-package.htm Is there any real difference between the Pov 1.5s 720x480 and this cameras 720 x 576??? It is more compact and easy for me to get at present
  15. When my car was last tuned, the guys were happy to see the back of it as it did something like 70 runs with cams, adjusted cam gears, remove cams and just winding in more boost. All with a set of RE55s and i drove straight to PI from emchanics on a saturday night and did a 1:52 Sat morning. So with 260rwkws it doesnt seem to be an issue and the tyres were healthy...so there must be a way to get semis to live
  16. oh no..i am on a couch hung over like a right c#*t! Just checked and they were +32s. Will keep an eye out for +34s
  17. LOL, oh ok. I am on a drunk and loud tour so trying not to check email
  18. Actually, let me know, i can get you another 4
  19. FARK! PM from a Marlin fella?!?!?! Did you grab it? See what happens when i jump on a plane
  20. It was a 50:50 call with Webber in my eyes. I was disappointed but i can see why he got the penalty. The only think i ask for is consistancy...how is Kimi driving wide at La Source and KERSing around the outside of everybody is legal! Yet when going wheel to wheel with a car into a braking zone if the car on the inside uses all the track on exit and you run wide to stop a clash then you get penalised....?
  21. Looks like a pretty basic, budget build up. Might try that this weekend with my mates in the local village using tuk-tuk parts
  22. Very nice cage! Give the boys at Brown Davis the go ahead and they do exceptional work. Give them a tight as wallet and they are happy to give you a basic, safe and fit for purpose cage like i have. With regards to air jacks..i know you and your dad are an indutrious bunch but have to ask why? Its only extra weight and extra CA cylinders you need in the truck to get the thing off the ground...and even then i dount the height will be enough to get you in and under...only off the ground enough to change wheels. Better off keeping the car intact and just relying on jacks and fanboys like me who are all too happy toget under your car and get filthy fixing stuff while the drivers tays nice and clean and sips soft drinks
  23. Nice build. If you are scared of nailing the loud pedal then you really need to take it to a place like Sandown and open the taps in the thing....just remember the middle pedal and get the thing slowed down as i am guessin the thing will be a bullet. LOL, makes me laugh that Adam has a similar engine in a rwd GTSt....MADNESS!!!!!
  24. Are you nutz Snowie, got get your licence and give the girl a punt. PI is your backyard!
  25. Where abouts in India are you moving to? I have been working in Hyderabad for a little over a year and an R34 would be rather strange amongst all the Tatas tuk-tuks, goats and buffalo on the roads. But to export your car will be easy on the OZ end of things. Proof of ownership and de-registration is about all i think you would need
