Very exciting, snactching pole away after the clocks stopped... Kimi will be filthy about the last corner off track excursion. Now he starts on the VERY dirty side of the track along with Massa

Hopefully should be a good race

whatever. you can hope its a good un but i can guarantee with absolute certainty it WILL be a good one and if it isnt ill eat my undies.

noted.

I've never been a fan of alonso's, and to be honest, I think he's a bit of a hack, but I am actually enjoying seeing him race now.

It seems like he's pulled his head in a bit, and realised that he's got to beat some pretty talented people in some damn fine cars to have a hope of getting decent points.

He set the fastest lap of qualifying too.

The start will be where it's at. Massa and Kimi on the crappy side, McLarens on the rubber. Alonso will almost certainly try to squeeze out Raikkonen, but it should be entertaining to watch.

I do hope Hamilton does not win though. I like the kid and all, but all freaking week it's been in ev ery paper about the rappers he's playing golf with, about the social outings he's had.... I really feel a bit over him.

Still, Webber had some pace, and he could score some points if things go well. Sato is pushing sh!t uphill, but will be as entertaining as always.

I'll start doing a rain dance tonight.

Wow.... Clouding up already!

If we asume no mistakes, which to me it didntlook like there were any, Hamilton's best in Q2 with a 1:19:400, and the pole was 1:19:99, difference of about 0.5 secs

Alonso did his best on 1:19:1, and in Q3 made 1:20:1, which is a whole 1 second more than his best. I'm guessing he is much heavier, by several laps laps, than hamilton. Could be wrong but that seems like way too much of a difference considering how fast and how consistant Alonso was during all the quali sessions.

The commentators were saying that the track was really hard on tyres, so the super-soft might deteriorate pretty quick. Alonso did the 1:19.1 on the mediums, so look for him to burn out the white stripes asap.

Also, Alonso's garage seem to be declining to share strategy with Hamilton, so it could be an absolute pearler!

Good race, lots of things happening... Massa's stalling has cost him third place in the championship and he is now where he belongs among the top 4. Kimi was very stong, was great watching him tail lewis at the end of the first stint.

Alonso look really quick for the first time in a long time it felt like. He's still very dirty about having to give away all his data to his team mate which he feels negate's any advantage he may be able to develop to pull in old hamo's points advantage. And speaking of Hamilton, it was entertaining watching his struggle quite badly and ITV havng to come up with excuses for him. Their website is still mentioning him any chance they get

... and what was with the slow down lap footage? We were watching Hamilton wave to the crowd for a good 20 seconds when we could have been watching Massa v Kubica in the dying corners? Im sick of hearing about and even looking at this kid and he's driving for the team i support

GO Kimi! nice work. it seems hamilton didn't stand up too well this time. and yes the comentators pulling excuses out of their arse for hamilton was a bit much. I mean 9 podiums out of 9 races is a pretty fking good effort, they don't need to sugar coat anything for us. he just had an off day. big deal, he still took 3rd which is better than 17 out of the 20 drivers...

kimi pounded them though. better strategy, faster on track too. :P

shame webbers car broke again. I should have known. I was cheering that he had a good start and nailed trulli, but with that piece of good work done I should have guessed a retirement was inevitable.

by all accounts the bmw is not terrible, but I'd love to see what kubica could be doing in say the mclaren. perhaps it would be kubica up in the top 3 of the championship. he has done well to come back from that massive accident in canada.

why the hell did they start both macs on hard tyres? That was a BIG mistake. If they hadve started Hamilton and Alonso on the softer option, which was obviously the tyre to be on ( witness the pace of both ferraris ) then it wouldve been a completely different story.

Ron dennis even admitted as much in the post breifing.

people shouldnt be hacking away at Hamilton. the guy is doing an otherworldly job. Who gives a stuff if ITV bang on about him. I love the way he drives- hes mega aggressive, smooth, mechanically sympathetic ( lets see how the ferrari lasts with brutal Raikonnen behind the wheel ) and has a tactical nous that belies his 9 GP's...

think about that..

He's killing Heidfeld... What a form reversal

dont over exaggerate. hes not bloody well "killing" Heidfeld. Nick was only 3 seconds behind at the flag and still came in 6th..id hardly call that killing.

compared to what Heidfeld was doing to Kubica in the fist 5 or 6 races it is

I dont see your logic. They are very evenly matched in my eyes but i think Quick Nick is the better driver.

again, i would hardly go so far as to say they were killing each other as you put it.

Now if you were to compare trulli and schumacher then yes one is killing the other.

    • 9" wheels are a little too wide for a RWD 32. They can fit. People have put R33 GTR wheels on 32s for years and years. But they are a very tight squeeze. This has been known for about 30 years. As I said - there is no difference between a 17 and an 18 in terms of what will fit. The rolling diameter needs to stay about the same as stock - not very much larger. If you increase that, you will start to have problems. If you increae rolling diamater at the same time as yo increase width, you will have problems earlier. as 9" wheels are pushing the boundaries already, you would need to be careful with tyre choice. I would put 8.5s on the front of mine, but would expect problems with 9s.

    • Diagnostic flow for a code 21 says check signal at the ECU pins, on a voltmeter of some kind it should read 0.1V at idle, 0.12V cranking, 0.15-0.25V at 2000 rpm. Check each coil such that +1, -3 is infinite or very high resistance, -3, +2 should do the same. (-1, +3), (+3, -2), (+1, -2), and (-1, +2) should all be somewhere between 0 ohms and high resistance. If you trace the path from the coil pin all the way back to the ECU in the diagram the resistance you measure at the coil vs connected to the harness should be pretty much the same. 
    • I have an elite 2500 running an adapter harness on an rb25de neo r34. I took the butterfly out and removed all that junk. But I also went Plus+t at the same time. The butterfly thing works in reverse to the boost solenoid on the Gtt if that makes sense
    • yeh they are 235/45/17 up front and 255/40/17 in the rears. I still didn't get my answer if i can fit a 18x9 up front. I want to get 4 of this and see if they will fit before committing as they didn't see an 18x8 as an option but there is a 18x9.5 also.   Enkei RS05-RR 18x9 35mm ET 5x114.3 75.0 Bore Matte Gunmetal Wheel
