yeah Willaims have lost form no doubt-but they represent something the big factory teams dont-real racers who follow a great leader (Frank) bit like Ferrari b4 they were bought by Fiat in 1969. Ive always had a soft spot for them for that reason. Renault(the company-not the team) are only there for the exposure and world advertising value-They own a large chunk of Nissan to , and look whats happened to Nissan since-boring NA cars for the masses-no heart and soul left in Nissan thanks to renault :P

i think there is no doubt that the williams is fast this year. not championship winning, but good enough to be on the podium. webber is driving bloody well, he just cant get the reliabilty he needs to finish races and score points....

Who are the Top 3 teams?

Ok Renault & Ferrari. But Honda or McLaren? Id say Williams desrve the title of 3rd quickest car, just that reliability is hurting.

That said...Ferrari are lookign good after practice...fancy beign quicker then the 3rd drivers of BMW, Williams and Honda int he first practice session :D

I believe the top 3 teams are Ferrari, Renault and McLaren (just having an average year so far).

Williams look promising in almost every race for a 3rd-5th place but either a driver or mechanical fault puts them out of the race. I'd rather Williams finish 12th in every single race for an entire season than hammer around in 5th for 15 laps then pull out with a mechanical fault.

On another note, I believe the points system should be extended to 12th place. A driver could finish 12th in every single race of an entire season and get 0 points yet Webber could finish 8th in 1 race then crash every other race yet still be higher in the championship table, how is that fair? Maybe this extension could apply in 2008 when the extra team starts up...

thats why the old system was good. the best team was really well rewarded with 4 points over their closest rival in 2nd place. renault seemed to settle into a 2nd place 'rythm' towards the end of last year. was a little disappointing....

well as wrapped as i am that renault just smashed ferrari into a million pieces, let me be the first to say....

ZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzz.....

interesting theory you have there....the race i was watching ferrari finished 2nd...in front of the other renault....really smashed them.........

Hey "c-jet "which team you going to go for when Renault have their first bad season and leave F1
i cant wait to see ctjet's posts next year when alonso leaves renault....and everyones on bridgestones...

lol, i didnt see 1 ferrari fan post a word mate....real ferrari fans (like myself) followed them before they started dominating, and still follow them now...alonso is a great driver, and his team is hooked up at the moment. no one team can rule for ever.

when alonso leaves, and all the teams are on bridgestones, we'll see where renault end up...:cheers:

you dont have to justify your ferrari fan status to me.... its like me saying i've hated ferrari since before they dominated... do you care?

not just you internet poeple, think outside the box for a couple seconds.... I been giving it to ALL ferrari poofs out there!! last week at work i had to cop it sweet, but i dont mind, cause its fun!! This week i rock up to work and suddenly certain people were very quiet. But they shall not escape my unrelenting ridicuel and finger pointing!! hahahahahahahaha

    • sold listed as a Tomei LSD 1.5 Way For 1998+ Nissan Skyline ER34 25GT RB25DE w/Open R200 https://www.ebay.com/itm/174006114594?campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms=&campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=71883f2ccc571356e0a757bc7adfdde2&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms= it went in like butter all gears, alignment, back lash etc, rotation and clearances correct, and if rolling all rotates smooth and free when coasting down road , clutch in or out over 10 mph smooth... its the binding, clunking and jerking from a stop that is most concerning, also seems like its going to tear the tires off in 10 miles of normal road driving. 
    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
