The sad reality of todays pseudo fans is that most of them could recall Schumi's great achievements of by heart and give you running statistics about his career from the late nineties. But ask them a simple question about the pre schumi Ferrari and you'd stump a good portion of them. Luckily most of the ones in here are on the ball and are not just blind followers of the schum like some forums i've come accross.

One year i was walking around Albert park on a saturday in some down time and i kept seeing Ferrari flags in a particular section. I acctually asked most of them and asked what the 'S' stands for in the 'S.F.' at the bottom of the Ferrari emblem was and only 2 guys could answer me correctly!!... 2!!! seriously wtf?

I dont mind fans of a team, but idiots shit me

Well it is not like it is restricted to F1.

Lately everyone is suddenly a Chelski fan.

Going back a few years every other kid you wearing a footy jumper was wearing the black/red of Essendon.

Just wait till the Rugby world cup for all the South African ex-pats to come out of the wood work.

I can't talk anyway. I jumped ship from Brabham to Williams after Gordon Murray left for McLaren & Nelson Piquet left for Williams. Ofcourse the fact that the Brabham team withdrew from F1 for a year I would offer as mitigation.

One other thing, "garagisti" is supposedly an insult, but I wouldn't mind a garage like Ron Dennis'.

We're told its part of the team culture, by keeping a clean workspace it encourages employees not to make a mess in the first place... you know 'next to godliness' and all that

Some of the random stuff that Ron Dennis insists on:

No pictures of your family in your office.

No waste paper bins.

All that uniformity & cleanliness must do peoples heads in.

Winkelhock at the bottom of the time sheets...

by a fair margin to his team mate, no less. Yes Marc, we wanted to reward you for your hard work testing and you have contributed a lot to the teams development but you know how these things go... we always follow the money. You ...understand that..?..right?

enjoy your time in the F1 seat Mr Marcus..because itll be the last time you contest a GP in one.

..can i get a whoop whoop?

Yup interesting qualifying sessions.

Coulthard is back in 20th, Hamilton in 10th that will make an interesting first stint for the race with these 2 trying to come through the pack. Finally we will see if Hamilton knows how to overtake and start with cars infront of him on the grid. Hopefully Webber will learn to have the widest car on the track but my guess is he will be 10th by the 2nd corner anyway and then finish 13th due to have a visit on some grass.

ive got a copy of the qualifying from itv and the replays showed the car to suffer a bearing or possibly a disk failure which made the tyre explode sending him into the wall at 150mph...

a VERY nasty accident and one that was worse than Kubica in the sense that all that energy didnt have a chance to dissipate..it was like him jumping off the roof and hitting the ground they were saying..

very glad to see hes okay.

well done Mark, your in for some points today provided the bloody car doesnt break.

or DNF due to some random mechanical failure :)

    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • 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).
