ITV is really going to make me sick with their fascination of Hamilton. Their Sepang preveiw is more about how good Hamilton is going to be, and if he stuff's up he's still our golden boy. Its non stop praise and excuses for the boy. Talk about favoritism

I havent heard thier Melbourne broardcast but i was told it was pretty... 'focused' on certain people and cars

Bring back Murray. At least his insane man love for schumi was interesting to listen to

Actually, for much of his life James Hunt was a reefer smoking pisshead. He cleaned up his act in the end - just before he died from a heart attack. I think there is a lesson in that for all of us.

Favourite James Hunt quotation.

"We can't quite see the pits from our commentary position."

Explanation:

The commentary postition was in the BBC studio in London. The race was in Mexico.

They were going through some of murray's mistakes at the GP (pretty sure thats where I heard it anyway)

stuff like

'The car in front is completely different, but its exactly the same as the car behind it'

and a few others that I had in my head but just went blank :huh:

I'd rather hear about Hamilton than Button though....seeing as how I have to listen to biased commentary on at least 1 pom...

i hope it doesn't go. Albert Park is one of the best circuits on the calender. it has everything from the high speed stuff, slow corners, flowing chicanes and provides great opportunities for overtaking.

however, i'd like to see what the QLDer's can come up with. i hope its not just the Champ car circuit or something similar, as that would be boring in an F1 car (by comparision to Mel...)

I love Murray and respect him greatly, but his time has come and gone. It would be like Hakkinen coming back and running midfield....

ROFL!!! at James Hunt!!! Love him or hate him, at least he created opinions!!! Great personalities from that era, Hunt, Lauda, Villeneuve

Martin Brundle is excellent and James Allen is at least bearable. I miss Crompton.

One thing I am surprised hasn't been brought up more in this thread. No more traction control 08 onwards!!! I have long said this is the solution in F1........next year will show if I am right or not

Not mention well founded, as much as Schumi made a few mistakes in his career, he was very gifted, very quick and had more cajolies than the rest of the grid put together. His only worthy rival, Senna aside, was Mika, I really liked Mika, but I love Michael. F1 will not be the same without him, much rests on Kimi and Massa now for Ferrari's prestige and overall future..

went through the last couple of pages and couldn't find anything so i hope this isn't a repost.

Spyker are taking STR and Super Aguri to court over the customer cars.

Officials have confiscated parts from Toro Rosso in Malaysia to compare with the Red Bull car.

can't see why spyker would waste their already small budget on a big court fight with Honda and Red Bull.

The reason Spyker is taking them to court is so that both teams do not qualify for world championship points at the end of the season. Thus moving Spyker 2 places up the table to finish 9th in the constructors championship. This place is worth roughly 10 million pounds more to the team as a reward by FOM.

That i would suggest is quite a lot of money to the team as their budget would be significantly smaller than most/all the teams. I personaally think they have a point and hope that both STR and Aguri are banned from points.

Yes he was a good driver and yes he had some stones on him but by saying "as Schumi made a few mistakes in his career" completely glosses over the insane and downright dangerous behavior of the man. Your trivialising the fact that the man insanely tried to take out two opponents in season finalies with what can only be described as 'severe brain fade'. But this has already been covered and everyone got to express thier feelings so ill spare everybody having to relive it.

Also i think as a shumi fan your projecting itv's and hence your thoughts on the rest of us. Im sure many people have had enough of listening about him and his team and will be more than happy to see the backside of him so that we can get back to the good old days of F1 were the sport recognised more than one great champion at a time.

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
