Everyone knows Schumie is "the best there was, the best there is, and the best there ever will be" :spank:

"People don't understand how good he is. To beat Michael in equal equipment isn't possible, to beat him in better equipment is, thats what Hill did, what Villieneuve did and what Hakkinen did..." Eddie Irvine...

I'm VERY one eyed.

Schumey's good, but how can you compare him to Senna, Prost or Fangio? Senna was a freak and give him a crap car and he too will give you a good run for your money. I reckon these 2 are on par. Prost is a champion in the turbo era and the post-turbo era. Driving the old turbo cars, you need balls of steel cause 1000bhp is not easy to tame. Fangio, need I say, the man who came up with the modern racing techniques.

But the biggest arguement I have is if you have the backing of an entire team, of course you will do very well.

I was waiting for that...

Not completely true. Duncan as a racer yourself and I race karts at state and club level, there is no way in the world you'd risk race points or a possible win by overtaking a damaged car...excatly what Hill did.

Villeneuve, Shumacher admitted he did it and stated that it was his biggest regret in F1

Various Coulthard accounts...Coulthard doesn't count..hehehe

I think he races hard, on the fineline, but not as bad as some make it out to be...

But then again, I think the bloke is amazing...

Those incidences put me off Schuey completely. Thought he was a real champ till he rammed Hill of. In my books, Hill is 2 time champ. JV incident, made me see satin in him.

No doubt he's the best of this generation. His brother.... well.... I doubt he will reach Michael's hights.

The debate still rages about Senna, it doesn't deserve an answer I think out of respect to the great man Senna was...I personally dislike the comment that Senna was pushing too hard trying to compete with Schumacher.

Fangio, well its uncomparable, its a different era, we're talking about time here when team orders meant to pull your car in and give it to the lead driver if his car was not performing or damaged!

Still based on the points scored/poduims view...Shumacher is a clear cut winner, with the added bouns he hasn't always had the best car, and took on a Ferrari drive when they where far from teh best team.

As far as I know, Prost and Senna always had cars capable of obtaining a top 3 finish.

I dont admire Hill very much but respect him for what he tried to do, which no one has ever done before. He went from a top team to shit bottom crap team as world champ? and he almost succeeded in a win at Silverstone, England if it wern't for mechanical failure. Alot of people overlook him and i think he deserves more credit than he gets.

Its in italy.... i know where the smart money is... plus, added bonus of the italian mafia making sure a ferrari wins.

By the way, Hill was booted from Williams before he won the world championship...from memory... had no choice but arrows (?!)

Hill won the championship in 96 and should of been in 94!

Senna didnt always have the best car, 88 yes but no other year was he in the clear cut favourite. Those days it was more even racing. Im sick of hearing of how Schumacher wasnt always in the best car!

Gr8 race once again. I love this new rule cause qualifying means almost jack and you actually get to see cars slice and dice! And I'm re-learning what "overtaking" is again... :)

Congrats to Schuey on a well deserved win, and for performing especially when dealing with the loss of his mother.

Webber, well.... What can I say? Bad start only to recover a little then the Jag going POP.

Hey, I think we were watching different races! I only saw one overtaking manouver all night - barricello on r schumaker coming onto the straight. The rest was m schumaker driving away and mistakes in the pits.

I was dissappointed, I love watching close racing and dicing, and this race wasn't that.

Having said that, maybe there was better racing elsewhere in the field, I think they only showed 6 cars all race

It's not the ontrack overtaking. It's more the pit stop stratagy I like. But love when they bang wheels overtaking too (not jerez 97 style though...)

Everyone thought that the macs we're slow cause of their qualifying stuff-ups but on race day it was a different story.

The mclarens is a developed version of last years car. Last year they used the mp4-17a/b/c specs. This year they used the d spec car.

The ferrari is still a quick car, only it was driver errors which let ferrari down until the san marino.

    • 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
