any particular reason you had to say the same bloody thing 6 times?

i cannot believe what depths this sport has plunged to.

its a f**king joke.

If mclaren were belted with a 100 million dollar fine and the best the FIA could do was come up with circumstantial info and this time Renault have been busted with more concrete evidence, if i were mac, id be screaming blue f**kin murder if they arent mightily caned.

renault will fold like a drunk and broke poker player.

which means the dirty sanchez aint going anywhere.

Renault are not in F1 to spend up big. Ghosn has specifically said that the program is in danger if they cant streamline costs. Renault brass wont have a bar of copping a rod on their backs the likes of which is bearing down on them at this very second.

They pull the pin faster than a german in ww2.

I am absolutely dumbfounded at how stupid this season has made me feel.

^^^^ sorry guys my browser had a spasm and 6 posted for some bloody reason

This Renault thing apparently started to come out in the McLaren investigation....its amazing how one thing leads to another

Im no Renault fan but 100+ mill will kill them and F1 cant afford to lose this team...Ghosn will pull the pin big time...he is shaky on spending this sort of coin anyway

Anyway the 6th will be very intersting

Also this evidence relates to the end of last season so will Alonso be stripped of world champoinship???

F1 needs to get back to racing on the track and leave all this hollywood crap for the soapies

LOL...Looks like Fisi may have a drive in 2008 after all...with Renault. Noone else will want to drive for them :D

What a wank, anyway. The whole IP debate is pretty grey. If its his personal work product...was he a contractor or employee...lol like this has been going on for years !

it won't be long before teams start trying to wipe employees minds when they leave the team (like the Ben aflik/Uma Therman movie, paycheck i think?).......well not realy ;)

Did you hear the rumours about moving from Albert Park to Phillip Island? They are thinking of developing PI into a track that can handle F1... atleast it will still be in VIC. Would be a crazy atmosphere, much like the MotoGP.

Ok, the hottest gossip at the moment is who will be McLarens no.2 driver.

Now that we are all well aware that it's a money and ego thing, why not put another driver in there who can sell merchandise, revive excitement and make people watch?

Why not put a Senna in the seat?

Bruno Senna (Ayrtons nephew) is currently in GP2, and doing OK. Not great mind you, but just OK. However, considering when leaving McLaren at the end of 1993, Ayrton Senna had said: "If you think I'm good, just wait until you see my nephew Bruno". That endorsement alone would raise interest.

Apparantly Gerhard Berger is his mentor though, so he may recommend Bruno avoid McLaren like the plague.

Still, to see another Senna in a McLaren, well, let's justy say I'd buy the merchandise, and I'm sure a lot of other people would too, and with the support from the team, we could see some excitement if he battles with Hamilton.

So, there's my vote.

you have got to be JOKING me!

somehow and i havent the slightest idea how, Honda have pulled off the impossible...

they've signed Brawn for the 2008 season!!!

lol, i guess the Jean Toad wont be out of a job after all!

My God, how did they manage THAT>>>???

http://www.planetf1.com/story/0,18954,3213_2877527,00.html

where will this rollercoaster of a season end???

i think im gonna puke!

and then WHAM, Toad gets the boot moments after!!!

LOL, what the hell is going on?!!

i cant say for the life of me i could ever envisage this scenario...

we all talk about driver this and driver that, but remember without these guys, the pilots may as well be driving blind...

THings to look for:

Honda to suffer reliability issues early in the season as they get used to a whole new car.

Ferrari to claim Brawn stole their technical documents, and was dobbed in by his local green grocer.

ITV to once again jump on the Button band wagon before relaising after a few races that not only was his old car a "dog" but Button isn't that good anyway, though expect him to be hailed as the next best talented after Hamilton if Lewis crashes out of a race.

Honda + CASH = Brawn on board. Ross wont give a sht about how much he can improve that shtbox Honda...he just will love watching his bank account...ching ching...mind you it wouldnt be real hard to improve on Honda's 07 effort

Todt was the smart little general (aka Napaleon) of the reds....there is a big chance of Ferrari slipping back into the bad ol days now

I'm sure you meant Napoleon, but anyways..

According to F1 live, Brawn's contracts stipulates a 'performance based earnings criteria', meaning if Honda don't perform, Brawn looses $$$'s, incentives to whack Barrichello and Button on 3 stoppers at the Hungaroring... Like Schumi 1998! :)

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn
