so, does anyone know if it is possible to buzz an f1 motor, or do the electrics prevent them doing anything silly. Because it seems a strange coincidence it blew just as he finally got to give it a run overtaking.

For once I do agree with the blue flag call, he wasn't given a fair go, while I still think it is the lapping driver's job to get past, Fischi did not make it easy

It was still a very good drive by Webber regardless ad will do his cahnces of getting a good rive in the future no real harm at all.

I think it is a real pity that both Webber and Kimi had exhaust problems as the whole race was looking very interesting indeed.

Oh and for the record i really enjoyed Button being so nowhere all race as ITV barely even mentioned him. Nice holiday from the usual diatribe!

lol kimi is a champ, quiet guy but in a F1 car he means business....nice move going to the boat hehe

commentators seemed to reckon it was the nail in the coffin of ms's career would be a shame for such a genius but from allcounts looks like he did pull a swifty and got what he deserved.....fool, he shoulda just settled for the front row

and fkn fisichella not letting mark thru was bs on a track like monaco not that it really mattered in the end but added to his frustration

How good was he in the interview though...i was expecting him to be a little more agitated but showed what a champ he is by not winging about it all...even admitted he almost binned it on the first lap

Time for Webber to cut the 'nice guy' crap and get tough with Williams. He needs to show that he is extremely angry with Franks operation, he needs to fire up and start making some threats because just like Jaguar, Williams is holding Webber back and its time for him to move on. Williams have had more than enough time to get their shit together and they still can't build a reliable F1 car. I think Webber would be better off racing my HiAce around the track, atleast he would actually finish every race (on 1 set of tyres and tank of fuel too).

hahaha lick the big one Ferrari hahahaha!!! Championship number two up for Alonso me thinks.... Really am starting to feel sorry for the ICEMAN, when he goes to ferrari he's going to be unstopable., i dont know how how he deals with constant let downs

This picture explains why i say "when" not "if"....

Yep-time for webber to ell Williams to go get F#@*#D. He has got to get a car that doesnt sht itself every race.

Schumi acting like a dick again-but its the only interesting thing happening in F1

Alonso's quick so good on him but Renault sux-Ghosn the boss of Renault who came across to Nissan is the wanker that took the soul out of Nissan-no more Silvia (S16??) big delay on the GTR and it looks like a yankee piece of sht anyway-give Ghosn the chop-DONT SUPPORT RENAULT :(

Hey fellow F1 Fans,

Webber - AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH !!!

Some of you guys are bagging Renualt and Williams (Williams rightly so currently), but where the hell does Webber go to in 2007 to have a real chance? Ferrari - Negative, McLaren - Negative, Honda - HaaaaHaaa, Toyota - Negative, Renualt - A possiblility? With Flavio as his manager it is a real possiblility with Fischy not making to many friends in his team, and alonso off.

Bring on the Pommy race to hear more from the itv peoples on Button's (lack of) progress. *jokes*

You see im in complete disagreement!

He knows how hard the team is working. He knows the car is quick. He knows he is workign hard, and during his time at Williams he is not getting beat by his team mate, he isnt causing any internal riffs in the team.

His time at Williams is doign him no harm at all...other then he isnt getting race wins. But he has to be smart about how he goes treating teams. At the moment his stocks would be high. At the moment Williams are lookign quick with a few gremlins. Look at McLaren, they are no better from a reliability standpoint, albeit they have been quicker the last two seasons.

Renault would be a great change for Webber. BUT, he would be jumping in what is recognised as the quickest car in the field. Just as Hill, Mansell etc all won their championships in cars that were given to them that were the class of the field.

I suspect Webber wants the satisfaction of beign part of a team that makes it to the top. I dont doubt he would prefer a car that will win championships, but you can never tell what will happen with next seasons car and team.

If MS retired at the end of 2004 and Webber went to Ferrari in 2005 everyone would have expected him to be a title contender. If he wasnt (and he wouldnt have been) ppl would have attributed the lack of pace to Webber. So what makes you think the same wont happen to Renault next year.

If he keeps his head down, and Williams iron out the problems with the car, then they have a genuine chance of challenging for race wins. Honda, Toyota etc have never had the geniune pace of the Renault, McLaren and Renaults. On Sunday Williams did. At no time last season did Williams have race winning pace, they only had podium chances.

So with a bit more reliability Williams are so close. Not at every track yet, but the next few races will be their big test, this time last year is where they lost a bit of pace.

But Webber should not publically attack the team. Internally he is no doubt sayign "come on guys...WE are so close" . But its is very much a team environment and no team responds to threats and attacks...not in a positive way anyway.

    • 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. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
