Kobi to Caterham...come on get him back in the car. Bringing speed and cash with his experience where as Heikki brings experience but no speed or cash. Also, i guess it looks like an engine...

Odds are he would have been a decent enough driver if not injured. He is a Le Mans winner

From Autosport That is why it was fascinating to hear from Vettel on stage at the AUTOSPORT Awards – a now regular appearance where those present see what the real man is like – how things are not always so rosy with Marko. "I got a big wake-up call in Hungary," said Vettel, referring to the last race where anyone other than him won. "I thought I did a decent job on the Saturday. Pole was a very, very close fight with Lewis – I think there was only a few hundredths difference. "I was happy with my lap in my final attempt in Q3 but I knew pole was for grasp, so I was not entirely happy. I got to my room, got changed and when I was in my underpants Helmut Marko opened the door, and he said: 'You f**ked that one right up!' "I asked him what he meant. "He replied: 'Turn 5, I saw it. If you only copied the lap from Q2 in Turn 5 you would have pole.' "What most people don't see is that this year has been a tricky year in some respects. People always think that Helmut and I are like best mates. But actually the example I am giving you is that he was never shy of giving me shit and probably never will be. "So he gave me a massive bollocking for f**king it up. I said on Turn 5 he had a point, as he had spoken to the engineers so was well informed. But it wasn't an awful lap. He said, 'Yeah but you should still have got pole.' "Next day, we finished third which I think was a good recovery for the race we had, getting stuck in traffic and so on. But he said, 'You see, yesterday you get pole you win the race; you didn't get pole, you f**ked it up; and today you saw you had a shit race!' I said, 'Thanks for the summary!'"

FOS, personally would rather the Revival but timinst isnt right

Reasoning for using Greddy plenum? I have always liked them...but guessing your reasoning may be more measured????

LOL, so many versions around these days. But the two are the "yes, yes...dont need to tell me every second" ... and the "leave me alone, I know what I am doing" versions Meanwhile, Le Mans tickets being booked this weekend. Just need to find the dollars to do the Austrian GP between Le Mans and Goodwood. Being single has its advantaged!

I grabbed that hoodie, beanie and a few shirts last year. Lost me beanie on the drink in Paris...need to get another one so my drunken roaming the streets saying "yes, yes, yes...leave me a lone I know what I am doing" has some sort of witty undertone...rather than just beign drunk!

So many new rules are annoying me...they dont appear to be steps in the right direction!!!!!

Will take $1000 Also got a TD06-20g turbo with a 73HTA compressor. Is a tad more responsive than my old TD06-20G and makes more power. Asking $1,000 with a 12cm rear housing or $850 with no turbine housing, (this turbo has done dyno time and about 20kms street driving)

Real men!

Its hard to know...but people change master cylinders and rarely have problems with soft pedals....but when people change calipers they often complain about spongey pedals. As someone posted you can damage the BC if you push the pedal all the way to the floor...but really you need to have scummy brake fluid and crap in there for that to be an issue. Its a problem for crap road cars, not generally a problem for well maintained Skylines. So, when installing new calipers... if you are positive there are no leaks in the caliper, and by leak in teh caliper you have removed the pad, perhaps even rotor and checked no fluid is coming out the piston boots/seals then here is what I suggest you do. Get worn pads or something similar in thickness and put them in. Pump the brakes up and give them a quick bleed with the pistons fully extended. Make sure you have dead pads or somethign same thickness in there as you dont want to push the pistons out. So once you have fully pushed the pistons out and put pad against rotor, open the bleed nipple with hose connected, and push the pistons all the way back into the caliper. More often then not you will see bubbles. If you do....that has been your problem Thinsg like usign old pads with the new calipers etc all hint that this may be the problem/ People that use new pads generally squeese the pistons all the way back when trying to squeeze in teh new pads and are more likely to displace any air that is sitting bhing the displaced pistons

The driver weight thing is farking retarded. !!!!!!!!!

I think the two of you just showed why you are not competent enough to run F1. You never start negotiations by dropping your asking price. You start by promising value added performance derived from their 400k investment, not devaluing yourself. 400k is already a couple of billion dollar saving Seems NJ GP is about as likely as the USGP F1 team that Windsor was behind a few years ago. Another delay and another 19 race calendar. Should be going back to India for a 20 race calendar

And those douches Bernie and the FIA earns all the money for ruining the sport. For 400k a year I would travel the world making F1 awesome

Does it even need to be that elaborate? Make a car min weight exclude driver and then when you specify minimum dimensions for the cockpit you include a weight that uses ballast in the form of seat weight, both bum and backrest %) to control driver weight. DONE!

Thats the point...talking how McLaren are amazing...look at their funding, their drivers, their engine supplier etc ...for how many years were they effectively the Mercedes factory team.....yet constructors championships are as thin on the ground as Williams.

And you know what I think is wonderful about Williams and in particular Sir Frank? He brings new sponsors into F1. He refuses to poach sponsors off other teams. The reverse cant be said when sponsors are often attracted by other F1 teams with various dealings. Williams is a race team...McLaren did well to get newey when they did as they were in the wilderness and thankfully had tobacco money to recover from being clueless with those Pug engines etc. Williams have had various engineering tie ups with various road car manufacturers and lower formula teams. I recall part of the reason they wiped the touring car side of the business as they said it detracted from the main focus F1. I understand their technology dept is profitable... I did read an article about McLaren and how they have gone as an F1 team when they started branching out doing other things. How long has it been since they have won a constructors?

The maiden F1 test in a V10 car Vettel reminisced about at the AUTOSPORT Awards came in a BMW-powered Williamsin September 2005. The outing was a reward for his utter domination of the previous year's German Formula BMW championship. The then-18-year-old's running was delayed after Nico Rosberg - then Williams's test driver - had an engine failure in the car in the morning. But Vettel still managed 25 laps, ending up 3.4 seconds off the pace of race driver Mark Webber. Wouldnt it been wonderful ifWebz enjoyed that advantageat RBR

DJ, do a search. McLaren made quite a sizable loss last year when they had Vodafone and won GPs. I think they came 2nd in the WDC as well...and they still lost something like 20million

Nice vid. Is your speedo cable scaled right? If so damn that thing pulls like a train!

Just watching a James Allen interview with Webber...lol "advice for Daniel..." "Marks response "Kick his ass. I took him to the last race in 2010, he has to do one better " Flaming Champion. Cant wait to see him at Le Mans next year Also funny to see Alonso saying "we will see Mark next year supporting us.." and laughing at the suggestion he will be rooting for Alonso and not RBR. Cant help but suspect there could be some truth to the statement

Really...i quite like the sound of it
