fosters??!! :D

who in the world drinks that abomination?!

Richard, shame on you.

that was my point. they sponsor the GP. hence it's the only beer you can buy there. hence the prefix "farken".... :P

and sav man is right. get through the first half dozen in a hurry and you are set.

plus I kind of like it now. it's almost tradition as it's the only time of year I ever would drink a fosters. weird.

Well its a screwed up tradition Richard, that should be abolished.

For one, i would rather go sober and drink Gatorade all day than be cornered into drinking from a choice of 3 of Australia's worst drops - Fosters, VB and Crown lager and THIS at a supposed first class sporting event.

Someone mentioned Coopers? Ahhh, yes. Now THAT'S more like it.

Seriously but, you would think that at a world class event like the F1 WDC they would have something a little better to serve up than cat piss.

For heavens sakes James Boag, get your fricking act together.

"The reason why we are losing the bloody GP is because there isn't any bloody Tasmanian beer at the bloody circuit!"

( You could make a commercial out of that line :D )

Sorry. It is...

No James Boag? No race for you, sir. :)

At least in Suzuka i got to drink Asahi and Kirin which is leagues ahead in taste and body compared to what has previously been mentioned.

Getting tanked up before the event seems the only feasible option in Oz in this day and age, what with the beer they're serving from the taps...

Beer is beer is beer is beer. Some taste better then others, but they are all good. If you would rather drink Gatorade at an Australian sporting event ????

At least at the F1 you get full strength beer, at the footy/cricket you can only get mid strength beer. Which who gives a damn if they rob you of a few percentage points, light beers do lack the flavour of the full strength beers.

Would i rather drink mid strength beer then Gatorade at a sporting event out in the summer heat? MY BLOODY OATH!!!!

well said troy. I don't go to the F1 to enjoy a fine beverage. I go to the F1 to watch the F1, getting smashed is just incidental to that. not the main event. If I wanted to drink lots of fancy beer I'd be going to the fancy beer festival instead. so yeah, fosters is crap, but polishing a few off at the F1 with some mates is most enjoyable.

Hmmm just got a call from the missus.

My father inlaw wants me to go melbourne with him to watch the F1 in the ING box.

to go or not to go................

:P

Like theres even an option to say no. :D

hmm- looks like a stalemate has been reached

He again poured cold water on efforts by NSW to steal Melbourne's thunder.

"There is nothing in Sydney -- they haven't even got a circuit," he said.

what's Eastern Creek then? A walking track??

well if we want to be technical neither does melbourne. they run the F1 on a road course. no reason why sydney couldn't do the same. but if anything our state government is even more packed full of weiners so I can't see it coming to sydney.

looks like we have 2 more melbourne GPs to go :(

If the only problem that Bernie and the Victorian government have is that they don’t want the first race of the year to be in the middle of the night for their European audience, why not just move the Australian GP to the fifth, tenth or sixteenth race on the calendar?

Surely the fact that this country draws bigger crowds and more hard core fan base than most of these pseudo new F1 tracks is reason enough to keep it

Or how about Bernie stop being be such an Ebeneezer-Scrooge-style tight prick, and give the Vic Govt a reduction in the cost of hosting the event so they can cover the extra cost of all the lighting equipment needed to run the race at night?

Sydney doesnt even have a track? What about the alternate Russian venue...thye have to build one up :P

There was talk about Phillip Island getting a licence to allow F1 teams to come here in our summer (their winter) for testing purposes before the Aus/Malaysion GPs etc. I woudl love to see F1 cars at Philip Island. Surely Fox woudl love it as well, and it would make the event cheaper to the Vic govt by staging it at a permanent track... It seems easy to me :D

    • 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. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
