please let it be a good team. I'll only settle for: renault, maclaren or ferrari or maybe BAR. redbull/torro rosso/super aguri/toyota just wont cut it i'm afraid. he deserves a stint in a team that at least has a sniff of race winning performance.

Well, thinking it through.

McLaren - Bad year this year & Alonso as your partner for next year. Would you want to go there?

Ferrari - No 2 to some bloke called Schumacher. In any case Kimi looks to be headed that way, so is there actually room? Not sure if Webber would have enough clout to negotiate a good contrct with Ferrari.

BAR - Done nothing, going nowhere. Plus I think both drivers are signed for next year. Jenson has to pay Frank's bill somehow.

Nup, Webber has to have something sorted for Renault. Otherwise I am sure he would have re-signed with Frank.

As an aside I desperately hope this doesn't mark another point in a Williams decline. It worries me that they be headed in the same direction as Lotus, Brabham, Tyrrell, Jordan...

Frank has always been a straight kind of a person. Patrick too. (Actually I was going to call him a stand up kind of guy, lucky I didn't) Look at the way he looked after H-H Frentzen all those years ago when he didn't have to. (& people here reckon Mika was a dog....)

I am sure the rhetoric coming out of the Webber camp would have been pretty savage had Williams done the dirty on him.

lol stand up guy... hehe

yeah HHF and mika are now both racing in DTM and HHF is pounding mika from what i've seen.

Sorry bout that.

I have this reluctance to compare drivers when they have quit F1 & are racing in other, lesser categories. Primo example is Alan Jones. In the Williams he was absolutely first rate. In a touring car, well to be honest most of the time he never really looked like he gave a shit. Bathurst '96 was the only time I can remember him ever kicking arse.

He did well in the Seto Fords. Class Act!.

The two year Ferrari deal was all smoke, Ferrari denied it, MS ppl denied it. Though i dont doubt that they will try and sign someone like Kimi or Mark. If they get them then great, they weill replace Massa. If MS retires then Massa can hang around.

Sorry bout that.

Ahhhhh yes but did you ever see him drive Alan Hamilton's Porsche 935? Absolutely flogged all comers including several other 935's.

lol, that could be cool. nice to see some fresh meat at ferrari. it's been the schumi show for so long now.

I would still love Kimi and Mark at Maclaren. Second choice is Mark and anyone at renault.

Remind me about the Frentzen thing again. He didnt work out with Williams from memory. I recall he was miuserable and Head didnt have anything kind to say?

It never really got completely clarified, but the supposition is that Frank signed HH up before his big accident at Monaco when he put his Sauber into the barrier (out of the tunnel, from memory). At the time Hill was a bit wobbly & HH was the coming man. Frank stood by the contract even after Hill had won his world championship & it was obvious the HH was not as good as everyone thought he was. (Did good work at Jordan, however).

BTW, I loved Coulthard's recollection of Patrick's pre race briefing before his first race:

Patrick "Well, good luck then".

Mclaren havent been that stron this season. Last season the car was unreliable, this year pretty slow. They have lost a lot of lead technical ppl.

And im curious to see how the end of the year goes. You are only as good as your last race and the Williams wasnt too bad, quicker then Renault and McLaren and BAR.

Webber in an interview commented on why did Alsonso leave Renault, i wonder>>>

Yep, class act. Stole his bosses major sponsor, the Stone Brother's from DJR & set himself up on the Gold Coast. Bathurst 95 was an unhappy one for Glenn Seton for so many reasons. Lost the race when the engine built by his dad went bang with 9 laps to go. Had to sack his Dad because he couldn't afford to keep the engine development in house. How would you have liked to have had that conversation?

With a bit of luck Williams' form at Monaco can translate to Hungary....

Webber could not win a chook raffle in a pub let alone an F1 race in that sht box..and now wait for it he is leaving Williams to go where???..some sources are saying RBR....oh for fk sake Webber piss off out of F1 and go to Chump..I mean Champ Car where all the other nobodys go.

On the news last night, they were saying Renault..........but i still don't know, think thats what all the peeps are saying, and well i hope thats right for sure, because he still really needs to prove himself in a car that can a) finnish races consisantly and b) win races. He will be staying F1 thats for sure, if its Renult or Red Bull either way!

and yeh he won't be winning a race this year thats for sure........ with Alonso and M.Schu on fire ATM with a splash of Kimi in there it would be against ALL odds!

    • 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.
