would you believe Klien?

Red bull have an option on SB. he will have one of the seats. They have SV on the books and hes free from BMW after this year.

They have Klien itching to get back in a race seat but hes got Honda ties and if he were to go racing seeing as Glutton and Barrys chello on the books for next year a farm out is on the cards if STR stump up enough cash. He will take speeds seat for the remainder of the season..I can see them doing it too, even if its just for Kliens experience, speed and technical input. he can improve the car in ways speed never can. Karthekayen is another option but unlikely.

My recording stoped with 14 laps to go :P sounds like I missed some of the best action.

didnt i give you the link to a site where youll never miss a race again??

if not, Pm me for details..

sav_man search youtube their is a clip of the last 8 laps (my recording stopped with 8 laps to go).

As for the race, well the first 3 laps were fantastic but I couldn't believe what happened with the race red flagged. I don't agree with Hamilton being allowed to continue after being assisted by a tractor (even though his engine was kept running) if he got out and pushed his own car back to the track surface then fine go for it but to be assisted out of the sand by a tractor is just totally wrong. I also don't agree with him being allowed to overtake whilst under a safety car.

Nothing against Hamilton I think he has a very bright future, I just don't agree with those 2 rules.

Kimi was unlucky to finish with a mechanical failure however he was even luckier to be where he was when it did happen, if the race wasn't red flagged he would have been another Hamilton scenario.

I'm quite surprised that Webber ended 3rd, I didn't think his car would last, I thought he would spin in the rain and I also thought that DC would get past him. It is great that he got a podium finish, anywhere in the points in any race is an achievement for RBR.

I was only telling a friend the other week that i would liek to place a lazy $50 on Klein ending back with Red Bull in STR. Does anyone know how diplomatic the parting was. It was a tough lose to DC, as he had been quicker for most of 2006, the silly Monaco failure cost him dearly. But he has the experience of being with Jaguar, RBR, Honda...so he is getting a good range of experience and back when he was being farked aroung with Luizzi at RBR, he always looked the better option.

So, Klein and SB for 2008

Massa also displayed great pace. I hate to compare, but he seems to have a little bit of Senna about him. He does not have the wet weather skills, or the 'magic' (yet) but he does have the hunger and the agression, which will serve him well.

Sorry but that is the worst thing I have ever read haha Apart from them both being Brazilian......No doubt Massa is very quick IF he is leading the pack on a dry warm track. He has shown he is utterly useless at every other point. However the mysterious Schumacher jinx continues!!! Every race he has attended Kimi has been nowhere and Massa has done well.....spooky.

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.

Nick Hiedfeld I believe it was collected one of the medical cars in ......2002 perhaps??? Was an alarming incident. That first corner was crazy. However its not surprising they all went off. There would have been absolutely zero grip.

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.

Amen to that, I am not a huge Fernando fan either but he is immensely good. As soon as the rain came down I knew Massa was gone. Alonso is very very good in the rain.

back to the GP itself, i couldnt help but piss myself laughing at michael Schumachers rodeo shirt!! he presented The Ron with the trophy and looked like an absolute shocker doing it!! did anyone see that??

I noticed that!!!! Ted made the call about Schuey leaving the pitwall then he appeared wearing that shirt!!!!!!!!

This would also have to be up there for James Allen's worst call ever.......best moment I believe was at one point apparently Massa was lapping "8 seconds a lap" faster than his rivals. Quite impressive.

To sum up, Kimi would have won if not for unreliability again!! Lewis was very impressive but made some mistakes. He is only human and a couple of his passes on Fisichella were fabulous. A great race!!!!

Good race for Webber...

In the interview Massa complained that he had vibration in his last set of tires... I don't know whether this is true though, but he has to learn to drive on a wet track if he is gonna get anywhere in his career... It is a shame that Ferrari is no longer the car to beat in the wet, I used to get sooo excited when the rain would come down... Ferrari just seemed to work very very well in wet conditions... Since 2005 this has generally not been the case...

the fights:

yes monty would kick jacques arse. jacques has gone soft and would probably soil his baggy race suit if monty smacked him.

DC would definitely fight harder than webber, but mark is pretty fit and pretty sharp so it'd be close. I'd say DC could fight dirty though so it could tip things in his favour.

alonso v massa is a waste. wouldn't buy that on pay per view. if I'm watching a girl fight I want actual girls doing the fighting because as kramer says there's a chance they might kiss.

kimi and lewis is a tough one to call. kimi's hard drinking lifestyle may mean he like a bit of biff, but lewis is a fitness machine. tough to call.

as for MS v RS I would have to go with big brother. he's been kicking ralphs arse all of ralph's life, I don't see it changing now.

ive got the ITV broadcast coming in at full speed!!

screw listening to mr head up his ass bill woods..

and that even more so head up his ass former champ jones.

he knows squat about contemporary F1..

what is it anyway about pairing a freaking noob who doesnt know shit from clay with someone who might know what theyre talking about anyways..

boggles the mind.

Ms Rs was a fair call..

still ralfs gotta be pissed big bro has been pissing on him from on high all his career...

i reckon MS in 5 but ralf would land some solid hits thats fa shizzle.

what would be the ultimate matchup then??

if there was any two drivers in history youd like to see take each other on in a fisty, who would it be?

who would slug it out for F1s world heavyweight championship title fight prize.....??? :rofl::domokun::)

more importantly, who would win and why???? :D

jones isn't commentating. it's cameron mcconville and i forget the other blokes name. but they don't call the race, they just lead it in, and fill in time during breaks in ITV commentary. for the rest of it, we just get ITV.

lol, mika V kimi is a good one. But I reckon kimi would kick cry baby mika's arse. maybe driving GT cars has made him more of a man but I doubt it. expect kimi to firt dirty as he has had bar fight experience so is likely to swing a rattle gun into mika's balls, or smack him on the head with the lolipop.

Gees, even Don King would have trouble promoting that fight.

Boxing matches are supposed to have a pre fight press conference where the boxers trash talk each other, Mohammed Ali style.

Imagine how crap that would be with the two Finn's in residence....

On a matter completely unrelated to this thread. Nice job by Alex Wurz.

    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • 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.
