haha, that sparked a nice debate. my point was yes massa has finished in front of schuey but more often than not he gets blown away by MS. both in quali and in race. talk to me about team orders all you want, but in a very similar car, he is no where near as good as MS. I wont say he's a hack, but he's not in the same class.

one figure tells a good story so far this year. MS 106 points. FM 62 points. less than half of MS.

also sad that webber is in 15th place on the table only ahead of his team mate, Klien and Liuzzi (table doesn't show people on 0 points though). and he's equal on points with Kubica who's only been in 3 races and he's 1 point off Vilenueve.

very bad year for williams. so much promise came to bugger all.

do we have an amen smiley?

At this stage of the year there is very little in the way of evolutionary development left in the cars. A large part of the teams resources are necessarilly focussed on next year & in any case there are only so many things to improve on a car before you have to fundamentally change it.

As a great many commentators have noted, the important difference will be whether or not Michelin can infact do a better job than Bridgestone over the remaining few races. You would have to say that Bridgestone have been the tyre of choice for the lest three or four GP's. This has a much greater impact on the teams relative performance than almost anything else at the moment.

And, no Michelin don't built Renault engines any more than Bridgestone build the front suspension on a Ferrari.

How is it sad...Williams and webber got the year they deserved ..nothing ha ha :ermm:

that may be your opinion, but it's not mine. webber certainly deserved a car far more reliable than the one he was handed.

Given how Mark has driven this year (quite often dragged the Williams around the circuits & soundly beaten his team mate) & also how he has bitten his lip & not paid out on the team for their lack of reliability I fail to see how any one could not have respect for the year he has had.

No Webber got what he deserved for wanting a Williams drive when other better drives were on offer- I say suck sht to him for a discraceful lack of judgement.

His driving has been good to very good no doubt-his choice of team was woeful so he needs to just cop it sweet-which I think he has done very well

I dont rate Webber very well in the natural driver dept (he is no Senna) but he is a hard worker and sponsor's dream-but thats doesnt win races in an average car now does it - but i hope he has a better year next year but I dont think that will happen in any hurry-once again not the best judgement in team choice(unless Newey can pull a magical rabbit out of the hat)

Red Bull gets Renault engines

Renault has reached an agreement with Red Bull for the supply of engines for the 2007 and 2008 Formula 1 seasons. It has yet to be decided, though, whether Red Bull Racing or Scuderia Toro Rosso will run the French V8s

Better than the Ferrari flamin mongrelomer engine that seems to be a handful for the current customers... which in tern is better for webbo

Im lookin forward to some F1 action in our time zone (no more fkn late nites) bring on China & Japan......I hope Shumi can take it to the Spanish hair dresser and make it come down to the last race in Brazil

Unfortunately, we will still most likely have to wait till after 11pm for each of the "local" races as they clash with the channel 10 news and the Bathurst coverage.

I remeber one year the Japanese F1 followed on from the bathurts' taxi festival' coverage

    • 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.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
