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.

      spot the stagea

      By AnimalGarage · Posted

      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.

      OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
