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....

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:

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

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By MBS206 · Posted

      You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.

      Could it really happen......

      I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.

      Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
