Nah no idea, I don't stream the race anyway because the link usually can't keep up with the load.

Long as I can watch the quali live instead of at 3am im happy.

I watch the pre race coverage pretty much right up until the warm up lap is over...if its not running 110% smooth at that point, I'll close it and wait for the race on TV...I've gotta be up at 4:30 in the morning but I always watch it anyway so yeah...See what happens in the next 5 minutes, but at the moment its nice and smooth for me

Same for me, watch the pre-race stuff to get all the background gossip then switch off and watch the race after work Mondays (get up at 3:50am).

It's usually smooth right up until a minute or 3 before the race starts, that's when everyone logs on to watch.

pfft I'm sure hamilton can fall short at the end. Wont come first and will struggle for second. despite what our itv friends would like

Duncan on the money.

Anyone that thinks Raikkonen couldn't have challenged for 2nd place is playing with their own genitals...

Ha. So why didnt he grab second then i wonder...?

Hamilton for the drive of the race. McLarens strategy was the best of the bunch and Hammo made the most of it - no mistake about that. Seeing the Mac come out infront of KR's Ferrari was sweet and Hammo deserved it.

hahah spot on Duncan, but Hamilton did a great job in the middle part of the race and was awesome to watch.

Hard to say who the driver of this GP is. I want to say Lewis for he did such a good job attacking massa but I also want to say Massa for keeping cool and a faultless drive. Kimmi also deserved a mention for avoiding trouble and getting back his position after that first corner. BMW looks like they are genuinely challenging the leading teams now, which definitely brings more excitement. As much as I dont' like Alonzo, he's definitely working that renault for all it's worth. REnault had better listen to what he has to say if they ever want another championship. Finally, good old Webber, god I enjoy seeing him scoring points more than watching the ferrari and macca fight. This season seems to be going very well for him, hope he gets to challenge alonzo more often. As much as I'd like to see him be on the podium, it seems the top 6 is pretty solid these days and not much room for anyone else unless someone drops out due to mishap.

What a feckin cracking race!!

Hammo haters get in line. Ill sort you all out.

It was a wannabe Hungary 1998... Louise was on it, which I enjoyed watching, but he should have been closer to Massa...

Kubica's engineer saying he was racing Hamilton was obviously standing next to a bathtub full of paint thinner...

You need Schumi's talent to make that kind of audacious and ballsey strategy work..

Do I also recall Schumacher once doing a 4 stopper and Mangy-Cours??

Good to see Massa keeping his head, however I expected him to hold up Louise for longer.. Just reinforces my believe that Massa is not only next to useless in the wet, he is also very poor defensively...

{EDIT}

HAhahhaahhahahaaa.. Channel ten showed the interviews for Massa and Kimi only... lolz... Hammo = teh rejekshion!

sorry I can't agree that Lewis was the drive of the race. Yes he went quicker but that was because his car was 20kg lighter than everyone else most of the time. Hey I like the arrogant little prick as much as anyon, but in this case his team played a strategic gamble that almost came off

Tops race, lots of action going on all down the field. Such a good track- That triple apex corner made my neck sore just watching it :)

Great passing moves by the McLaren drivers: Kova carving up half the field like a gun, and Hami's uber-ballsy pass on Massa right on the limit down to the apex. Gripping.

    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • 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.
