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.

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.

      Could it really happen......

      I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.

      Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...

      Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
