troy the only really worrying part is how/why are you reading spanish newspapers??? lol

I really hope webber get's the fark out of williams and into a nice warm seat at renault. see what's it's like to have a garage at the nice end of pitlane for once.

See HERE for same article.

I really hope Webber does move on from Williams. I'd really like to see what he's capable of achieving with a decent car beneath him, especially considering he's quite often out-performed the potential of his underperforming cars at both Williams and Jag.

If my instincts are right, I'd bet that it wouldn't take him too long to start outperforming Fisichella if he did make the move.

Fingers crossed that it finally happens...

FINAL QUALIFYING TO CHANGE!!

Now i read that and thought booyah... they got ther collective act together and they've stopped that rediculous fuel burning exercise for 15 laps and done something exciting!! good on you Formula1, good on you... whts the change? one set of tyres for the session? or maybe two flying laps allowed? what is it? tell me what god damn you?

but allas no... instead of a 20 min final session it'll be cut down to 15 mins... thats hardly the change we were looking for

Edited by ctjet

The final 10 should be able to choose whatever fuel load they like for qualifying and then refill at the end. This will give them 20mins (now 15mins) to do the quickest laps they possibly can rather than burning off fuel, then doing 2-3 quick laps on 2 sets of tyres. I'd rather see 15mins worth of quick laps battling it against each other.

in the scheme of it all, who the fcuk is Hamiliton? there are so many drivers like lewis out there its rediculous... Senna, Piquet, Paffet even!! why go for a dime a dozen nobody when they should be targeting the drivers that'll acctually give them championships??

Fcuk Hamiliton, i hate him... id rather see some one in there that has acctually raced an f1 car before rather than this weeks UK fad...

its mostly karting...

The driver is Jarno Trulli - the comparison is meaningless.

GP2 is the new proving ground for future F1 drivers and Hamilton is wiping the floor with everyone in the series (including Piquet). I think it would take some balls for Ron Dennis to give him a drive next year, but the guy has proven that he's quick in everyone he's driven, so I don't think you can say that he's not worthy of a drive in F1.

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
