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.

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....

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 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.

      ECU sees many times the speed than speedo does (R34 swap)

      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.
