Well done iceman & ferrari

Vettel really did prove to alot of people he is a good driver, nice work after last weeks race rammin webber up the backside

still reckon hamilton has some blame in it with his erratic driving behind the safety car

all i can say is wat the hell where mclaren and hamilton thinking

i dont see why they didnt bring him in earlier once the tire was playin up would have been the normal and safe thing to do

Cant wait until 2 weeks time in brasil, going to be one hell of a race for the title

Alonso Has Another Alternative

Alonso's options for 2008 have, to date, been limited to Renault, Ferrari and a sabbatical.

But the first would represent an embarrassing climbdown, the second has been ruled out, and the third dismissed by Alonso himself. A transfer to Red Bull, therefore, emerges as a genuine alternative.

The team is well resourced, boasts a design team of Adrian Newey and Geoff Willis, and is finishing the season strongly. A swap deal involving Mark Webber may also appeal to McLaren.

first half of the race was decent, but it was back to teh same old shit after evrybody strapped on the slicks. Kimi absolutely killed it and once again in the wet, massa again showed what an absolute n00b he is in the wet. ffs he needs to piss off to toyota where guys with his lack of overall talent belong.

At least its going down to the wire, Lewis will still win the title. The sad thing is more people are now interested in what Alonso will be driving next year and how that drama in particular plays out.

wheres a photo chop of hammies dad not being able to pull him out of that big bad nasty gravel trap??

i swear that thing was there like a tractor beam pulling lewie in saying, im going to claim you!

cant believe what a noob manouver that was...i watched the footage and his tyres were caned like 2 laps before the stop! why the hell didnt he come in ??? stupid.

He choked like a fat man getting the heimlich manouver...

and ct, theres a very good chance lewis will get brain fade in interlagos... he has alonso caning for his 3rd championship and KR is salivating at the chance of claming his first...i think its very possible that hammy will get a cramp in his hamstring...( bad joke i know )

...he may well choke on it...

Considering how close ice man has come previously... Was it 2003 I'm thinking? Where Shumi had to score at least 1 or 2 points to win teh championship, Rubens did sweet FA to challege Kimi and he won the race (Which he had to do to have any chance of winning the driver's), but Schumacher still managed to score a point or two at Suzuka.. I'm sure he'd love to avenge that defeat...

Imagine how close it would be if Hami had his points deducted from Mt Fuji??? :)

Oh yeah, Massa FTL! f**k anal rampaging Brazilian twat Massa... He needs the 101 from Schumi fast, or put Webber in a red machine... Kimi/Mark... FTW!!

Its all very tantalising thats for sure. The track is a tricky one so it'll be good to see how it finally plays out. I reckon Massa will win (or should win) but Ferrari wont let him finish infront of kimi if they can. Its really too close to call... the fast turns suit ferrari, but the bumpy surace and harsh ripple strips will suit Mclaren.

still waiting for that photochop!

i dunno. The wheel base of the ferrari should be suited to Interlagos all round i think, so we can safely guess that we will have a very close 4 way battle on our hands come sunday two weeks time...

this championship could not have come down to the wire any better than this! What a grandstand finish it will be.

CANT WAIT!

also remember there are going to be ALL SORTS of midgames being played in the next two weeks...

all designed to make the other person crack come race day...i dont know if Hammy will be mentally tough enough to deal with this kind of pressure, F1 style..

FA and KR on the other hand...well, theres no doubt there is there?

awhahahah! Thats a scenario i hadnt thought of... bloody hell could you imagine it?

i reckon theres a bit of HIT MAN money being thrown around at the moment...im sure Massa has been asked to take one of the macs out come race day...

Go Kimi :thumbsup:

Unfortunately I still think Louise will take the WDC, but at least the odds might be slightly longer than $1.03 now so maybe some money to be made...

Massa....Come on. On Alonso's gearbox as FA exited the pits, on cold tires, Massa on the softer compound and up to temp, and he couldn't even put a move on him. Terrible.

If Massa is to take out a Mac, hopefully its LH. If 1 of the Mac's has to win the WDC, I'd much rather it be FA than the bitch boy LH.

Was so satisfying seeing Kimi storm up to LH's gearbox before putting him in his place and driving off into the lack of sunset. Then seeing LH beach it... have a pack of chinamen running around like a Benny Hill show, and then LH having a teary because they stopped trying to push him out of there made my morning (I watched the GP at 5am after work, stayed well clear of any/all results though)

Wasnt that baseless ramble from James Allen? He talks more shit then me...and thats a lot.

Lewis, Lewis, Lewis. Shame to see the kid fall so hard...but. What i have been reading lately suggests he isnt enjoying all the media, WDC pressure etc. I so want to see Alonso hand it to him and win the WDC...anything can happen. That would leave such a bitter taste in his mouth that next year he would come back stronger and would most likely be a better driver and WDC for this years experiences.

And awesome work by Vettel. So happy to see him bounce back with an awesome drive.

...and despite the lack of love for Ralf (including me) only Super Aguri and Williams are the only teams to have not commented on wanting Ralf for next year. See if my dark horse call gets any legs over the coming weeks. I wonder if Vettel woudl be released to race for Williams. I doubt it...but he appears to be a bit of a gun!!!!

And...its funny how different angles tell different stories. This one makes old Lewis look a little more reckless then the vid from the crowd

if you believe all the dribble ITV spout at you during each and every race, this photo should confuse the shit out of you

P2?? well yes but was that necessary? who was driving?? was it Gonzo or Hamstring?

    • OK, Step 3, if you need to remove the valve body, either to replace it, the TCM, or to do a more complete drain.  First, you need to disconnect the TCM input wires, they are about half way up the transmission on the drivers side. One plug and the wires are out of the way, but there is also a spring clip that stops the socket from sliding back into the transmission. On my car the spring clip was easy to get, but the socket was really stuck in the o-ring of the transmission housing and took some.....persuasion. You can see both the plug to remove (first) and the spring clip (second) in this pic Incidentally, right next to the plug, you can see where the casting has allowance for a dispstick/filler which Nissan decided not to provide. there is a cap held on with a 6mm head bolt that you can remove to overfill it (AMS recommend a 1.5l overfill). Final step before the big mess, remove the speed sensor that is clipped to the valve body at the rear of the box.  Then removal of the Valve Body. For this the USDM Q50 workshop manual has a critical diagram: There are a billion bolts visible. Almost all of them do not need to be removed, just the 14 shown on the diagram. Even so, I both removed one extra, and didn't check which length bolt came from which location (more on that later....). Again it is worth undoing the 4 corners first, but leaving them a couple of turns in to hold the unit up....gravity is not your friend here and trans oil will be going everywhere. Once the corners are loose but still in remove all the other 10 bolts, then hold the valve body up with 1 hand while removing the final 4. Then, everything just comes free easily, or like in my case you start swearing because that plug is stuck in the casing. Done, the valve body and TCM are out
    • OK, so if you are either going for the bigger fluid change or are changing the valve body which includes the Transmission Control Module (TCM), first you should have both a new gasket 31397-1XJ0A and a torque wrench that can work down to 8Nm (very low, probably a 1/4 drive one). You can probably get by without either, but I really didn't want to pull it all apart together due to a leak. First, you now need that big oil pan. The transmission pan is 450 long x 350 wide, and it will probably leak on all sides, so get ready for a mess. There are 24x 6mm headed bolts holding the pan on. I undid the 2 rear corners, then screwed those bolts back in a couple of turns to let the pan go low at that end, then removed all the middle bolts on each side. Then, undo the front corner bolts slowly while holding the pan up, and 80% of the fluid will head out the rear. From there, remove the remaining bolts and the pan is off. You can see it is still dripping oil absolutely everywhere...it dripped all night.... I got another couple of litres when I removed the pan, and then another few when I removed the valve body - all up another 4l on top of the 3 already dropped in step 1.
    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
