^^ sure, schu made some retarded moves but coulthard's move on wurz in melbourne was a shocker and nobody batted an eyelid. DC has been around way long enough not to pull stupid moves like that.

i'm liking this season so far - a lot of changes to keep me entertained. i'm gambling coffees with one of my workmates based on who wins/finishes each race :D

:) what crack are you smoking? Coulthard got ripped a new one by every single F1 forum i know of with the same thing you just said. Its another example of ITV chossing to ignore 'their' drivers as not to give them bad press and put pressure on the driver. Just cause you didnt see it on the news doesnt mean people arnt talking. The media is a powerful thing, and if you not informed enough about the right things they'll try to influence you to see the F1 world the same way they do.

ITV aside, none of the other F1 websites have commented on it either. web forums are one thing, but a bunch of people having a pissing contest on a forum doesn't affect the racing community one bit.

Maybe DC did the right thing and apologised to Wurz for having a massive brain fart, and the issue was nipped in the bud. I'd like to think so. It obviously scared him a bit because he's championing improved cockpit protection at the moment.

I've got my eye on Massa and Rosberg for this race.. there's a coffee riding on it with one of my workmates (no, my office does not have a gambling problem :))

I think you'll find most of the sites you read will be UK based and will hold the same (albeit less obvious) stance as ITV. The 'protect your own' mentality of these stations really pisses me off. The way they keep going on about Kovalainen and his impening sacking for his one bad performance and yet saying silent on the fact that Davidson and Coulthard are both being comprehensively beaten by their respective team mates is appalling.

Unfortunately nobody can put a stop to it which is why i watch the formula 1 with a very low volume these days.

News is Kimi's engine has been turned down and Massa has it in the bag.

Alonso for a solid third and Lewis not to far behind. Kimi will jump Alonso off the start thanks to a suspected lower fuel load and Hailton may (MAY) be running a few laps longer than Alonso. Theres my red hot tips for tomorrow, also Renault are in big big trouble.

Finally life can return to some level of normalcy with F1 back.

As a parting gift... >> i lol'd <<

have to say its good to see BMW Sauber up at the front.

great qualifying session i'm really enjoying the f1 this year, i had some mates around last night and sat and watched the F1 (after playing F1 on the PS3), just would be better for them to show it live instead of the crap they have on all afternoon

I watched the first 10mins of Ch10's qualifying coverage then switched the tv off. In a 60min segment their is 42mins after ads are removed, it took them 7 mins to actually start the first session leaving 35mins to show 50mins of qualifying.

Just finished watching the ITV coverage now and got to see the entire thing.

Quite surprised to see the Renaults so far down and Webber is a few sec off the pace so no doubt he is once again running heavy and will just fade back into the mid pack and get held up or be caught up in someone elses accident.

yeah we truned it on at the start of the first session. There was 11 mins left on the clock they went to an ad, when they returned there was only 2.50 left! WTF why show the qualifying when you show the useless oz commentators crap on for hours and not show the action out on track

They have absolutely no idea, some of the comments are so stupid

'Here's the drivers standings with Raikkonen leading, very much as a result of last weeks GP'......

THERE'S ONLY BEEN 1 RACE OF COURSE THE POINTS ARE A RESULT OF THE LAST GP FFS!

Sucks that Hamilton held up the Ferrari's for so long in the first stint, but Massa should've done better to pass him while he was there...

One thing I didn't like in the press conference was a touch of cockyness from Hamilton, when he stated that he 'tricked Massa'.....he made a mistake mate, you didn't trick anyone.

Bring on Bahrain

what a f**king boring race. i was battling hard to stay awake. the end got a bit better with kimi hunting down lewis and webber hunting down wurz, but neither of them could get the job done. appart from that, and massa running off the track it was a very, very, very boring race.

Agreed on all points. Greg Rust is retarded and McConville is a Racing Driver, not a T.V personality.

Also picked up on Hamiltons little comment.....might have been a slip of the tongue though. Was retarded driving by Massa....

A lot of disappointing teams, Red Bull, Honda, Renault all rather crap

    • 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).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
