Nando passing the line in china with the mechanics losing their shit

Seems to go against the tide of supposed public opinion that nando is the devil and Hamilton is the be all and end all of sport at any point in history. I think its more a case of Gonzo pissing off the Mclaren managment rather than the whole team conspiring against him.

Yeh, appears as though internally the guys on Alono's crew are probably all for him getting a result. Tales are that those that work close to him are fans...but appears maybe the words between Denniss and him of late have pushed things too far.

Has to be some truth to the fact that so many drivers have failed in a seat at McLaren that there has to be some truth to the chosen driver thing

jus make it looook like an acccident, comprende???

Mebe he could get some tips from Herr Schumacher Snr's dirty trick playbook- Esp. the chapter titled 'How To Understeer And Make It Look (sort, kinda....if ur dense) Like It Wasn't What You Wanted The Car To Do' re: Monaco

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

LH is a scum bag.

Cant believe what he said in a channel 10 interview, he said that he was doing everything he could behind the safety car to adhere to the rules. He was also going on about how people had the nerve to put any blame on the crash onto him, he then went on to say it makes him think 'is this really a place I want to be (refering to F1)'. Can you believe this shit??

The interview made me sick, he felt so sorry for himself.

MS may have the records behind him now, but HE could have done well to study drivers of yore that had speed and race-craft by the bucket load (ref: Senna, GV, James Hunt etc etc) but managed not to come across as a shifty SS-Operative in training :)

Schuey didnt cry and was pretty open about how single minded he was...i recently read that his only regret was the JV incident. Now we have Louise who seems to be a pretty nice guy who cant fight his own battles (probably never had to) and as soon as he gets out of the car runs to the press and cries foul

When questioned about his 2008 team mate, LH told The Sun: "I don't mind who it is. I have beaten every one of my team-mates in the past."

Time to line up Mark Webber :)

Make it an offroad race and Webs could be in with a chance. He spends most of his time going across the grass!

if ball size was directly proportional to skill level and success, than jaques villeneuve would be at least 5 time world champ... that guy had some stones on him

Tru, but then the prob with JV is that his genitalia were attached to his forehead, impeading his vision, hence his glasses, hence his lack of championships...

Well, i stand by my old post. If JV wasnt that impressive then neither is Louise as she has done only marginally better in her first year. Albeit LH didnt have the benefit from running in a series as competitive as Indycar...well i dont thing GP2 could be considered as competitive

watched the race late last night. lewis you big girl... what can i say. I think dave chapelle said it best: "tough break N..." lol.

he turned out to be a bit of a baby. I hope kimi smashes them all. about fkign time he won a wdc. he's been oh so close before it would be great to see him get it done.

btw how bad was webbers strategy.?!?! he could have easily finished top 5. all he had to do was make his one stop half way through and put on drys, then stick with them to the end. knuckle heads. plus he was very slow at the end.

If FA wins and they are equal on points then Loiuse loses on countback of GP wins.

Come on Massa is all i can say. There are things abotu Kimi as a race driver i dont like. But as an individual i love him. So i just hope Massa can get out there and race damn hard with the Mac boys and test them whilst Kimi sneaks a victory...and let the chips fall where they may.

Escaping that...i want Alonso to get up...just to annoy the hell out of the team that has annoye dme for years....lol, yeh its a DC thing.

And great to see DC qualify well and race hmm ok. Strategy hurt the RBR boys again. But, its all experience from running at the right end of the grid.

So pumped for next season already. If RBR are solid and Adrian and the team can get the job done in the shop...well post TC i think Webber and DC wont struggle as much as some drivers.

there was an interesting point made somewhere that webber was very vocal about hamiltons dodgy safety car antics in the week leading up to the hearing, but when it came time to present he was suddenly very quiet. obivously he decided not to make waves with hamilton and maclaren could this be a sign that there is a deal to be done for webber as hamiltons team mate? could make sense. alonso could feel red bull is the place to go next year. they certainly have some dough behind them to pay him, and their star is on the rise. a full on newey built car, renault engines, and perhaps most importantly he would be gauarenteed of being the No1 head honcho and all praised big kahuna in that team. on the flip side maclaren know webber can drive, and he hasn't really burnt any bridges with them in the past (putting aside the mercedes sports car shit), I'm sure he is not so full of ego that he could handle having a younger team mate who is as quick or quicker than him, plus he would be pretty cheap and free up some cash. he could be a good influence on hamilton. god I hope this is more than just me tugging myself.

    • 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.
