if... IF... Mclaren lose this case and Alonso indeed does leave the team, theres absolutely no way i cant continue to cheer on the silver arrows with someone like Hamilton at the helm. What a shame this all is.

I would just be repeating myself if I said anything further about the FIA & Ferrari.

Wouldn't worry about Alonso. I am sure Ron Dennis would have what could only be described as a fk off big buy out clause in his contract. With the Santander sponsorship tie ins & all the publicity there is no way he could just leave.

F1 cars now looks like some abscract artists nightmare induced sculpture.

getting passing into F1 is simply.

get slick tyres of a compound that will work amazingly for 5 laps and shit for the other 15 of their life (meaning people on different parts of that cycle will be quicker and be passing and vice versa).

re-introduce H pattern boxes as you quickly find out who can drive and a miss shift heading up the straight means your passed. a miss shift under brakes means your engine is gooone.

no more traction control. at all.

let the cars front spoilers be lower. as they are so high they end up with turbulent air underneath when following each other which takes away their front end grip

then we have some action.

I don't agree with H pattern, maybe a semi-auto shifter... either as is or using a stick shifter, but still semi-auto... With the rest, I agree though...Get rid of the winglets too, and game on!

It must be now getting very stressful to get up and go to work for some of the Mclaren boys... but thats probably the intention i suspect

That's not the half of it...

That is obviously Andrea De Cesaris, but I can only guess it is also Betrand Gachot. Is he out of jail, now?

I would nominate the Tyrrell-Honda...

As an aside it looks like the FIA are going to do McLaren over good & proper.

some interesting links there... very interested to see what the outcome is, personal i don't think you can place the blame on Ferrari, yeah they might have the FIA in there back-pocket but im pretty sure the outcome would be the same any other team was in Ferrari place.

Be interested to see how it affect the sport

edit

was just readin the itv website i and saw this

But if the team is found guilty, the punishments could range from a contructors' points deduction and a heavy fine to a full disqualification from this season and 2008.

this would surely hurt the sport, as many fans would place the blame on Ferrari, turning them away from the sport

If the FIA do find McLaren guilty, I hope they only get a fine. As a fan of the sport (and Ferrari for that matter), i don't want to see a top team denied the right to race.

At times i wonder if the FIA even like motorsport, they tried to bugger up WRC, and they constantly change F1.

You don't have to wonder. Just look at the history of sports car racing.

Whats with all the sympathy for McLaren. Its looking more and more likely that they had their fingers in the cookie jar. They deserve more then a smack because they are not 6yr old kids. If what is being thrown around is true then no problem kicking them out of the season. I cant stand cheats in sport.

So let me get this straight..if they're found guilty (which obviously means they were guilty of cheating) and with cheating comes a disqualification, you think they shouldn't be denied the right to race...?

Are you all there or what? If you cheat, you do not have the right to anything except to be disqualified. A fine is nothing! we're not talking about you or me here, we're talking about a top team with cash coming out of their ass, a fine is less than a slap on the wrist

Finally some f**king sense has been posted.

After the crash the medical car picked up Raikkonen and brought him back to the Ferrari pitbox. Raikkonen looked completely fine and will have to use the team's spare car in today's qualifying session.

It will be interesting to see whether or not the Italian team can place the engine and gearbox in the spare car. If they won't Raikkonen will face a grid penalty of ten places.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
