So the directive from management to the drivers is to pedal the racecars around a track in the same fashion that road-legal Toyotas are driven by their sloth-like customers?

They're generally just there to get in the way and frustrate the ppl trying to get to their destination in the most expedient manner?

it all makes sense now....

Well i hear that Alonso will announce in the next 48hours and that Renault are making comments along the lines of a completely new driver line up. So does that mean Heiki to McLaren and Piquet Jr gets the call up? Alonso to Renault and Fisi drinking at the bar rambling about what could have been, Irvine style ?

You guys have missed the obvious driver for McLaren....

The Stig!!! he's the obvious choice - he's english, he can drive daewoos around test tracks, and he doesn't whine if he gets beaten. In fact he doesn't speak at all - something most race car drivers should take note of! You get paid to drive, not talk, so shut it!

I'd like the Stig to get the job, simply because he has a history of not playing well with team-mates. If Hamilton pisses him off, he'll dispose of him like he did with the "Black stig" Some people say it was due to brake failure when he tried to drag off a Harrier jump jet on the deck of an aircraft carrier in a nitrous jag, but investigations reveal that white stig was involved.

So if Lewis get's invited to drive a jag, we know what'll happen next.

Q: Finally, you were a McLaren man for several years - what’s your take on the team’s troubles this season?

AN: If you’re talking about the espionage saga, my personal opinion is that it’s become over-hyped. Such things have always gone on in the industry and will always continue to do so, the fact is that there have been far bigger breaches of personnel taking info with them from one team to another in the past which have gone undetected or without penalty. My personal opinion is that anything anyone can take with them in their head is fair game, but anything that is written or in electronic format is not.

:D :laughing-smiley-014:

Man, Alonso should just shut up and sign already, he doesn't deserve the amount he's asking. He has no loyalty. He already had a winning team, but decided to leave. Went to Maclaren, also a winning team. Left that too.

Good on renault for demanding a min 3 year contract and the amount less than that asked by Alonso. They have the upper hand now so use it and show him who the boss really is.

Lewis gets driving lessons from one of the best

Friday 30th November 2007

Lewis Hamilton returned to basics when the F1 ace was given a few driving lessons from racing legend - The Stig.

Hamilton's learner drive though had little to do with his preparations for next year's F1 World Championship and more to do with his celebrity guest slot on Top Gear's 'Star In A Reasonably Price Car'.

The McLaren driver swapped his MP4-22 and its 200mph speeds for a not-so-leisurely drive in a Suzuki Liana around the TV show's test track.

However, everyone needs a bit of help at times and so the mysterious man behind the helmet, The Stig, was on hand to give Hamilton a few driving lessons.

"Lewis was the one everyone wanted to see take to the circuit. He may be a top racing driver, but he had to go around with The Stig first to learn all about the track," a BBC source said.

But as to how fast Hamilton went, Top Gear aren't letting on other than to say: "It was fast as you'd expect. But you'll have to wait and see exactly how fast."

To see Hamilton's lap times you'll need to tune into Top Gear on Sunday at 8pm, where you can also find out how he compared to fellow F1 racer Mark Webber as well as former British drivers Damon Hill and Nigel Mansell.

fks sake, its not even the first race of the season and im already sick of this cock

    • So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit? 
    • Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
    • I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!
    • I don't care for these at all, but at least the underside looks straight and not rusty. A good basis for a long life. Many cars from Japan have been lifted with forklifts and f**ked almost irrepairably.
    • Yes, but it's not dumb or dodgy. You can build a perfectly good boost controller from a pressure reg, a relief valve (looks same same as a reg if all from Norgren or SMC, for example) and a check valve. I ran one for years. Only superceded with  EBC because I could get one for cheaps and wanted finer control.   THis mod is certainly not a sketchy boost mod, provided the boost is kept below the "spin to death" threshold of the turbos.
