yeah Willaims have lost form no doubt-but they represent something the big factory teams dont-real racers who follow a great leader (Frank) bit like Ferrari b4 they were bought by Fiat in 1969. Ive always had a soft spot for them for that reason. Renault(the company-not the team) are only there for the exposure and world advertising value-They own a large chunk of Nissan to , and look whats happened to Nissan since-boring NA cars for the masses-no heart and soul left in Nissan thanks to renault :P

i think there is no doubt that the williams is fast this year. not championship winning, but good enough to be on the podium. webber is driving bloody well, he just cant get the reliabilty he needs to finish races and score points....

Who are the Top 3 teams?

Ok Renault & Ferrari. But Honda or McLaren? Id say Williams desrve the title of 3rd quickest car, just that reliability is hurting.

That said...Ferrari are lookign good after practice...fancy beign quicker then the 3rd drivers of BMW, Williams and Honda int he first practice session :D

I believe the top 3 teams are Ferrari, Renault and McLaren (just having an average year so far).

Williams look promising in almost every race for a 3rd-5th place but either a driver or mechanical fault puts them out of the race. I'd rather Williams finish 12th in every single race for an entire season than hammer around in 5th for 15 laps then pull out with a mechanical fault.

On another note, I believe the points system should be extended to 12th place. A driver could finish 12th in every single race of an entire season and get 0 points yet Webber could finish 8th in 1 race then crash every other race yet still be higher in the championship table, how is that fair? Maybe this extension could apply in 2008 when the extra team starts up...

thats why the old system was good. the best team was really well rewarded with 4 points over their closest rival in 2nd place. renault seemed to settle into a 2nd place 'rythm' towards the end of last year. was a little disappointing....

well as wrapped as i am that renault just smashed ferrari into a million pieces, let me be the first to say....

ZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzz.....

interesting theory you have there....the race i was watching ferrari finished 2nd...in front of the other renault....really smashed them.........

Hey "c-jet "which team you going to go for when Renault have their first bad season and leave F1
i cant wait to see ctjet's posts next year when alonso leaves renault....and everyones on bridgestones...

im always going to be a Mclaren fan.... but anyone who belittles Ferrari is A-ok in my book!!

i love giving it to Ferrari fans... hahahahaha.... they all take it so personally, you won for 5 years straight!! lost one race here copped a shit stir and couldnt help yourself

its all fun and games people

lol, i didnt see 1 ferrari fan post a word mate....real ferrari fans (like myself) followed them before they started dominating, and still follow them now...alonso is a great driver, and his team is hooked up at the moment. no one team can rule for ever.

when alonso leaves, and all the teams are on bridgestones, we'll see where renault end up...:cheers:

you dont have to justify your ferrari fan status to me.... its like me saying i've hated ferrari since before they dominated... do you care?

not just you internet poeple, think outside the box for a couple seconds.... I been giving it to ALL ferrari poofs out there!! last week at work i had to cop it sweet, but i dont mind, cause its fun!! This week i rock up to work and suddenly certain people were very quiet. But they shall not escape my unrelenting ridicuel and finger pointing!! hahahahahahahaha

    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.
