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! :)

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
