fark, what a race.. that was action-packed!

Good on him...he has busted his ass for years...good to see fresh faces on the podium

word. He definitely deserves a win. 100+ starts, he was overdue.

If only schumacher finished with some points :)

Yeah I was hoping to see the championship close up as well. But the Schu dealt his own hand this race he only had himself to blame.

That was definatley an interesting race. tyre choice seemed to be the critical thing on a wet but drying then wet track. which didnt come to use with slicks till about 20 or so laps to go.

ms retired with only 4 or so laps to go and the state of his intermediate tyres was pretty crazy he was driving pretty hard on them but after the track became dry he was dropping around 4seconds a lap compared to de la rosa(sp?)

i went to bed with 2 laps to go but knew button was in. and good on him.

yeah spewing schui didn't pit towards the end for some slicks but i guess he didn't want to give up P2, which in the end cost him any points at all.

fark I hope webber doesn't go to RBR. he would be better off staying at williams.

Robert Kubica just got stripped of his double points finish for being underweight... hard luck. He drove really well, aside from the two spins of course

None the less top race, the commentators went a bit overboard with the screaming at the i think... he won... ok. but look how many people had to DNF for him to do it

yeah, they certainly talked it up. i mean yeah, he won a race. but funnily enough someone wins every grand prix!

bummer for Kubica. Nice to see a pole in there.

I am really pissed that MS didn't hang on until the end. That would have really livened up the championship as I would love to see sanchez under some pressure for once. Just to see how he takes it. he is great when way out in front but I dont think he's all that cool when the pressure is on.

JESUS CHRIST!!!

Anyone been to itv.com/f1 lately???

According to them, Jenson won the race, is now the title favorite and has finally cured cancer!!! all in the one day... amazing!! he really is the second coming of the messiah

have a look at the home page and the stories that dominate it!!!

jenson can suk my wang. getting a win after years and years with potentially race winning teams is no great achievement.

Umm, how many wins do Honda have? and from 14th (but with exclusions of Shuey and Alonso)

I say good on Jenson, with a top contending car/team he would be doing much better (of course)...not to say Honda is crap, but they are a new team compared to Ferrari, Williams, Renault.

But yeah, Jensen is God at itv-f1 at the mo :(

Button is god to them at every single race, it really is a joke how much they crap on about how good he is. :(

Personally i was hopeing Rubens would get the break through for them :D

Anyway to more important issues!

Why the F*%K would Webber go to RBR? :)

Athough they have more backing than Williams i don't think they will be a top team for a few years at least, a few years Webber dosn't have. i just don't understand ??

Any thoughts to explain why???

i thought rbr wasnt too bad. they seem to be doing alot better than williams.... i think.

I agree, the commentators spoiled what would have been an awesome F1 race, possibly the most entertaining in 2006.

Sure, he won his first GP. But its only taken him how many years? He isnt that great a driver in my opinion, and had a few other drives stayed in the race it could have turned out completely differently.

I would have been more impressed with the win if half the field hadnt DNF'ed.

As for coming from 14th... didnt Alonso come from that part of the field to lead for quite alot of the race? Keeping in mind Alonso and Schumi both came from the back of the pack too, its not that great an achievement.

yeah I may have been a bit harsh but he won a race that had no schuey, no alonso, no kimi, no montoya so lot's of big names either out of the race (whilst in front of JB) or just absent.

still, good on him.

i thought rbr wasnt too bad. they seem to be doing alot better than williams.... i think.

True, but are they better than a Renault or Maclaren ..... i think not

If he has signed with RBR they must have put a very very good offer on the table me thinks.

Also, just read that Renault maybe suppling RBR with engines next season ...........the plot thickens

RBR is supposedly a good option for Weeber because the areo will be an Adrian Newey design with either Ferrari or Renault engine... And you saw the top end pull of schumi's Ferrari here at Hungary.

If you do think about it seriously for a moment, RBR will be up there sooner rather than later, why not jump in while there's still an seat to jump into

Button wins a GP...bout time

I cant watch this anymore with these biased pommy dckhead commentators...what a joke at the end when they yelled...HE WON!!!!..please no more for me...more sleep for me on Sunday nights but :thumbsup:

RBR for Webber is a mystery team to join...they could be strong with the aero but who knows..too much of a wild card..renault would be safer

Edited by gtr660hp

yeah, renault would equal short term results which is exactly what webber needs right now before his career is over. no point in looking at long term prospects, he needs RESULTS next year or he will no longer be in a strong negotiating position to get a better drive.

    • 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.
