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

    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
