On hard tyres & no KERS vs all cars around him on the grid with soft tyres & KERS.

If you want a cage contact Risking on the forums here. I know you rejected the idea of an S2 RS4S but getting a manual with beefed up running gear would have made more sense in the first place.

The lack of KERS on his car makes it a level playing field?!?!

Can they strip out the KERS overnight and run ballast instead? Might as well carry weight where it can be useful if possible.

I don't understand that article at all. McLaren was running the same pace as the Red Bull car last race. The media seems to be assuming that Hamilton is making up the gap with his skill alone. He has a championship winning car right now he just needs to keep his head down and keep working hard and wait for some results to fall his way. If he is complaining he doesn't have a clear cut advantage over all other teams then fair enough. Kubica is a driver that deserves a tier one car. Renault are so close this year I could cry for him.

The 044 doesn't have an open end like the 023 and 040....so you clamp a sock on the bottom of the pump and solve the problem.

$1100 if you want to come up to Sydney.

I had a turbotech that was a bit of a lottery over 17-18psi. Perhaps they are better now at higher boost levels. At the time small increases on the boost controller led to large changes in boost level. Up to that point they are fantastic bang for buck boost controller. I have Profec B's on both cars now and they are hard to beat for the price if you want to go electronic.

Where is Duncan? The proof of shenanigans

Whoever is giving you this advice mustn't like you very much, they are a direct swap.

Just payback for the old McLaren days when Hamo got into the back of Nando and then claimed that Nando brake tested him. I love when Nando was running around after with the datalogs to show anyone who cared to look that it was BS.

It's like they hired Ralf.

The best driver is Schumaker isn't it?

Did you see me write that I would? Who knows, she might be a firecracker in the sack. edit: if it got me a season in the RB7 then I'll do it

While we are talking, he is doing. I'd settle for his life, his drive and his "hackness".

In case it has been missed MW had no KERS from the start of the race so 80hp down off the line and no magic button to push on the straights all race (and it seems no DRS for the last couple of laps). SV had KERS available for more than half the race but was advised to stop using it by his engineer.

It also looked like the DRS didn't deploy for MW on the last 2 or 3 laps despite being within 1 sec of Not Usually That Quick Nick.

3 tenths. His excuse was that a dog ate his homework.

Why are they still referring to the performance advantage of the RB7 vs the MP4-26 in the press conference and on OneHD, the gap was 1/10th which is pretty much the small error Hamilton admits he made in quali. They look like they are as close to an even performance as you can hope to get in F1.

Button a little quicker than Hamilton so far. Should be a corker of a race if Button is a contender this week.

loved this bit conjecture about RBR KERS by Jonathon Neale this week on F1.com Does he know that RBR didn't run KERS during the race....??? Like wtf. Surely Button would have said that tongue in cheek.

Not the only reason, Vettel actually is a bit of a dick. Lets not forget his crazy in the brain signal after driving into the side of Webber or my favourite moment driving into the side of Button under brakes. Good memories of the world champ in action.

Bosch 984 will fit and you can use your old sock with some minor mods. This way you can get the pick up right at the bottom of the tank which can sometimes be an issue with 040's. DIY section has a thread on this.

There are numerous threads on Nistune already if you take the time to search in either this section or a huge thread in forced induction. With mods as described you will get the same power everyone else gets which is around 200rwkw +/-10kw. They are the best option for a streetable S2 Stagea based on price and ease of use.

^^ 300rwkw @ 4000rpm?? hmmm.
