  1. Looking at your site it suggests that you can get twin scroll T4 housings for the 6758 but isnt available in the drag down box. I am after a punchy turbo for my 2L YB cosworth. Engine runs low compression and runs 26psi at the moment so if I can get something a little more punchy that likes boost I could get a streetable bit of grunt
  2. Was so happy at the prospect of Romain winning...but just couldn't match the pace of RBR
  3. SUCH A THROWN FIGHT
  4. S.TO.K.E.D!
  5. COME ON ROMAIN!
  6. Come on Mark and Romain. Great to see Mark P1 and Romain P2 with Hamo 3rd
  7. Oh go away already Heikki. Nice guy but poor in a Renault. Poor in a McLaren. And Petrov matched-beat him...now he runs round "I was a McLaren driver and dumped but too good to pay for a drive." He would be lucky to get a seat even if he paid. I like Caterham and would rather see them throw their weight behind talented youngsters in the hope that a tp team would place them with funding. McLaren?
  8. How are Gardner/Crompton looking for quali?
  9. Ah, this is back when Stallone wanted to make an F1 movie and Bernie wouldnt let him...so he ended up doing a Days of Thunder in Indycars Complete with Indycar race to the pub after dinner through the streets I had completely forgotten about that stinker
  10. ...mmmm Olivia Wilde!
  11. lol, what was that crap film a ways back with C grade acting and kind of hot tart that was once a tart off some part something crap show....stay with me....the take away was some filthy rish middle east fella backed the film and used all his own cars in the filming of it. Only for that black comedian to bin his Fezz during filming... Phew...that was SO CRAP I Watched about 4 mins of it and turned it off!!!!
  12. Got half way through the race. So far Romain has raced like a champion resisting Hamo. I am waiting for him to faulter. Hulk is doing a good job but it doesnt look like the guys behind him are much faster (Well at least Alonso doesnt appear quicker) and Kimi and Webber just lining him up. But...reason for the post...anyone seen Rish yet? I saw it in gold class last night and its worth a watch. Tells the story semi close to what I understand it....but still very Hollywood with inability to film a farking car with a steady farking camera!
  13. So Hulk didn't throw the car away or do something a bit keen? Good on gim for the last few races. Really pulling together gopd weekends. Its only his 3rd season...but 3rd different team so has had some learning to do.
  14. Brawn was talked of Williams a few weeks back...good chance to almost run his own shop....so much talk suggests Mercedes osnt a place he will be hanging around for too long. Have not watched the race yet. Romain appears to have had a good weekend! Another race where Kimi had to have the team behind him in order to beat him?
  15. OOh shit. Forgot about Webz' 10 spot penalty...just as I was looking at the odds and about to roll cash in on a win
  16. Yeh, i think IF they are doing it then it will be in the way that they are harvesting or how the KERS motor may be being used to dull the torque and work as a damper. I suppose they could turn the mapping down a load and use a soft torque setting ont eh KERS to pump out 80hp....but think its more to do with the harvesting as you woudl be needing to chase a HUGE amoutn of traction advantage to give away the 780hp burst for 6 seconds.
  17. Webz abd Romain are paying $6.50 for a place this weekend. Webz at $34 and Romain $41 a win, Think i might have a flutter this weekend
  18. If you read the other parts of the article he was talkign that the noise was like the blown diffuser sounding...and some of the chat isnt about RBR cheating but having found a way to get the car to hook up out of the 130km/h and under corners. The fact that Webber was nowhere suggests he didnt have it....or was not able to exploit it. More than assuming they are cheating it will be interesting in the next few races to see if they have found another innovation to account for their crazy speed which if KERS related is only going to help them next year when it is even more powerful. I read the FIA regs the other night and they are pretty open about how you use KERS and its control system. Need to use control instruments for monitoring but not how they operate
  19. So interesting discussion about Vettel and his performance at Singapore. Minardi has commented that theere was something audibly different in Vettels exhaust notes and some backroom discussions that the noise was only able to be heard when he had the hammer down building a gap. From there his amazing traction out of a certain part of the track suggests he was using traction control. Now with the McLaren control ECU that is 99.999% impossible , but gives rise to how a team runs its KERS system and how it is perhaps able to drive the KERS motor off the gearbox to tone down the torque on slow corner exits or driving it relative to road speed.
  20. Hard pipe kit is sold About the only thing left is the TD06-25G
  21. R32_Bigboy was up there and his article has now been posted on Speedhunters http://www.speedhunters.com/2013/09/muscle-car-masters-australian-historic-racing/
  22. I have decided I am going to be one eyed on this! Plus, they can say what they want...the fact the FIA have come out this week and said drivers are not allowed to do it anymore tells you the tone of their concerns, irrespective of it being done off in tehy kitty litter or in the middle of the road. Thinking back did Alonso get a fine for collecting the Spanish flag a few years ago after winning in Spain?
  23. Was good enough for Derek Warwick to catch a ride back to the pits on a Ferrari. Seems the dangerous practice of walking onto a circuit etc is a 2013 thing for his as a driving standards steward (or whatever title he had on the weekend) [
  24. Or how about waving flags at cars on their slowdown lap and waving cars into the paddock entry and in doing so takes out the car that finished 3rd who was on his way to the pit straight for the podium ceremony! it was a debacle...but it happened.
  25. Well, I will start passing the hat around now to cover the fines Webber is going to be handed at the end of the season when he drops some helis/burnouts in Brazil. It will happen. I get the rules and what happened. I just find it a bit silly that it is a ten spot penalty for the next GP! And yes I udnerstand its because its his 3rd reprimand. I just went back and looked at the Bahrain clash with Rosberg and its a bit silly that Webebr chopping off Rosbergs nose after he awkwardly placed it up the inside into a disappearing gap and earnt Webber a 10 spot penalty. Anyway... this is as silly as the fine that Hamo got back at Silverstone a few years ago hecause he dropped a donut or Alonso's fine in Spain the other year when he won! Also seems the booing of Vettel is here to stay. I would rather it didnt happen but ultimately dont really have a problem with it. Commentators seemingly agree its part his dominance, part his perceived status at RBR but mostly what happened in Malaysia. I guess Karma is a b&$ch!
