yeah liuzzi flying backwards over the ripple strip was pretty hairy. the safety car did well to avoid that one! I don't think I've ever seen an F1 car collect a safety car before. and hamilton was VERY lucky not to have his big mac cleaned up by albers when he came steaming into the gravel.

yeah i agree. he was fast and passing lots of cars, but they were all pretty average cars and often he was on the better tyre at the time when he was moving forward. he made quite a few errors.

Also am I the only one surprised that alonso (or more accurately Mclaren) didn't get penalised for the way he left his pit box straight into the path of another car?

id like to see you stand there when the car is launching toward you and just misses you by inches.

id be rightly pissed and looking for a head or two to roll..

im not out there to get my legs amputated by a hotheaded spaniard..

F1 drivers arent exactly the smartest chaps in the world are they??

that arguement seemed oddly reminiscent of an Irvine senna battle a few years ago...

yeah, with him still sitting in the thing...

how he managed to get out of that is very lucky. WTF were the drivers carrying so much speed into turn one for in the first place??

"christian, there are 3 cars in the kitty litter at turn one. Please slow down and watch yourself, its very easy to aquaplane out there.."

"okey, no probleem, ill keep pusheeng!"

( now stuck in the litter )

"guys im reeely sorry for dis.. I didnt understand what you said. I need some more english practice i theenk."

yeah I would complain too. it was a bullshit decision by his pit crew to release him, and a bad one on his part not to give way to the car in the fast lane.

lol, albers was flying towards lewey. lewis certainly has some bloody good luck. cheeky little bugger.

I am just so pleased webber got a good result. it should help his career along a bit. he drove very well and kept it on the track and most importantly kept everyone else behind him. it shows for sure that he was a good driver in a poor car that he was over a minute behind second place yet still managed to keep everyone else (what was left of them) behind him.

You know what. Watching Alonso last night...he is brilliant. I do feel for Massa though. He ran well and then the rain? Well it looks like he just didnt have the tyres/car to finish the job he had been doing all day.

But again, not a fan of Alonso, but you have to sit back and respect that he is bloody good.

yeah alonso drove a good race. but how girly was his little fist punching standing in front of the podium. it was like he was a 12 year old girl in a punch up with his little arms flailing around. maybe he should go back to his animal impressions? give me schueys leap any day.

lol, at least we can all agree on that!

and massa is a bit of a man-girl as well. sure he can pick fights with gonzo but I'd like to see one of them start a fight with coulthard, or montoya...

I just watched on the News that next years Formula 1 in melbourne WILL have a later start. I dont know how late this is, and whether its night but I hope it is!!

Also V8 supercars are back next year.

Can anyone confirm on next years late start?

Massa being brazillian aside, i see your point, and i LOL'd

hmm, yeah that was a bit flawed. but in my defense i'll say that though he may have been born in brazil, if it looks like a euro fag, talks like a euro fag, acts like a euro fag and smells like a euro fag then let's just call it euro fag. sorry massa.

      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.

      ECU sees many times the speed than speedo does (R34 swap)

      It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.

      I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
