am I the only one that hates neil crompton's commentary?

He shits me too! He makes a very good pit reporter (like he was back at 7), but just dosn't have the personality to be a commantator. iTV are starting to get annoying with the button humping (but no worse than the Aus commentators and Webber humping), I recon he has to wear waders when he speaks to them

I like Cromley!!

even when he's being technical he explains it well... and I like how he's calm and sensible and doesnt get over excited or carry on like a wanker. Daryl Eastlake used to shit me to tears...

i forgot all about the race, I was at Duncans on Sunday and didnt get back to Canberra till 11pm... totally forgot dammit :(:laugh:

Somewhat telling is the difference between top end speeds at the end of the main straight. By way of just one example the Ferrari had an 11km/h better terminal speed than the McLaren. What the hell are they doing at Mercedes? Did the get the F1 engines mixed up with the diesels they put into the E class taxis?????

Crompto is the best Australian commentator we currently have, i really hope Ch7 grabs him for next years V8SC otherwise it could be very dull.

Cromly going no where -sorry

Good to see Webber finished the year in fine style and this race basically represented his last 2 years at Williams-DNF ha ha. This whole Williams fiasco has destroyed any chance of Mark ever really getting to the top. I hope a thousand fleas invest the ass crack of all who work at Williams and crappy Cosworth.

Remember Ferrari gave Shu a magic going away engine. Not massa though.

really? because their quali times were quite similar...

Qualifying Speedtrap Interlagos

Don't forget that Schumacher spent half his time being towed down the straights and overtaking them into the following corner.... how many people slipstreamed Schuey and overtook him?

i think they were all too busy being nostalgic and letting him pass...

not that it really matters anyway :sorcerer:

To me the extra speed he had down the straights was much more than just being towed along. It looked like the Ferraris had a substantial straight line speed advantage. Maybe they turned the wick up on Schumachers car to help secre the teams championship trophy. If they did they didn't miss by much.

I was just going by what was ont he tellie the other night.

Super Aguri has come good at last. Just in time for.... oh damn. :P

Super Aguri will have Jensons car from brazil + some extras... and considering jensons pace, that isnt to shabby

they wont be serial backmarkers for much longer

This is the reason i like Kimi... he is in this sport for himself.

He couldnt care less what happens around him, he is only concerned about his car, his own performance and his chances of winning. I am convinced that after the three year contract with Ferrari runs out... he's gone.

Pre-race interview with Kimi Räikkönen :mad:

Ok guys, it would appear that throughout the course of the F1 racing year, you have all managed at some time to commit character assasinations of most of the F1 Teams, F1 management, Cars, Drivers, Designers and just about anything or anyone associated with the Grand old *sport* of F1. As an avid reader of this topic and believe me it is better than reading a Phantom (Ghost Who Walks, Man who Cannot Die) comic, there have been so many twists and turns that I think they should make a movie out of the sport of F1. What's that? They already have I heard someone say!!! Damn there goes another great idea!

Anyway guys, it has been a fantastic read (mobs of laughs) and can we now start the 2007 thread as I'm sure there will be plenty of script available during the off season/pre-season.

Top Secret Post Script hot off the rumour mill. BE has agreed to sell the Brabham F1 naming rights to Craig Pollock!

Ok, ok I just made that up but it makes nice reading.

Cheers

Thats the first hint of personality i've seen from the ice man

F1 is basically soap opera for blokes. If you want a movie about grand prix racing try Grand Prix. Hopelessly melodramatic in the 60's tradition, but worth a look.

Muz, hate to dissuade you but BE doesn't own the rights to Brabham any more. Nothing wrong with the rumour other than that. Heard the one about Colin Chapman coming back from exile in South America to reform Team Lotus? Young Andretti will be driving for him. Cosworth motors. :P

    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
    • EMU Classic. For what I need it to do I see no reason to upgrade. Link and Haltech would both cost an extra chunk of money for a lot of unutilized features
