Good to see Kimi putting down a better time in Q3 when it mattered as opposed to the Q1 and Q2 times...

Well done to Webber...if he's not just running stupidly light to get a good spot in Qualifying then he should do well.

And how's Lousie's form...everyone congratulated HIS team-mate but him. Completely ignored him. Maybe all the other drivers hate Hamilton as much as us and were happy to see HK beat him.

I watched ESPN's coverage of the qualifying (with british commentators) and they were so far not Hamilton biased like the iTV flogs, it was great :banana:

just wait til tonight to hear all about how great hamilton is and how he'll carve up the field like Senna and Shumy and leave the rest for dead.

Why would Webber run light>? Maybe the car is just that good at Silverstone- Fingers crossed. I doubt its either a publicity stunt or a light fuel load but we shall see.

I havent seen the ESPN coverage, i usually watch the "natural sounds" one coz then i dont have to listen to or understand anything the commentators have to say!

All natural bebe.

webber (or RBR really) have been getting extremely poor starts this season, so hopefully he gets away well this time around, otherwise i fear he'll end up fourth before he even gets to Copse.

Massa should, for his own sake at least, put on a show with Ferrari's stright line advantage and pass a few of the slower guys in the early part of the race.

Going to be a good race

The reason i know webber isnt running light is that in Quali 2 he was only a tenth off fastest, eventually ending up 3rd in that session and it doesnt take a genius to figure out that everyone was out there on fumes trying to get into Quali 3...

So the car, and more importantly, Webber ultimately has the pace and thats obvious to see from the Q2 times.

Get up there on the Podium Weeboo!

Yeah itll be good - you can bet youre maso heritage on that little piece of trivia Ive.

Thing is, Webbers always sucked at starts, so i dunno... i kinda half expect him to fail at the first corner like he so often does... :banana::)

Im with you. Webber commented that everyone must have been on a different strategy, suggesting that they were heavy so he was up the top. But Q3 pace shows that the RBR cant be too bad a thing., The only negative is DC is nowhere again, so Webbers pace could be a little inflated with fuel, but i doubt it.

Webber is a pretty conservative guy and doesnt have a history of light fuel loads, if anything he normally goes a tad heavier and lets his abikity to put a lap together look after him in quali. His biggest advantage is Lewis and Kimi are behind him so will be more occupied with one another then Webber up front. So Webber v Heikki, personally i would back Webber in a wheel to wheel stoush, but the Mclaren will walk away from him :)

I am so pumped about tonight! Have the video player all set :P

webber is THE man. red bull on the front row, who'd have thunk it. but we all know webber is a champ. looking back over his career it's hard to really believe he hasn't been given a drive at a top team. he deserves it for so many reasons.

it will be a top race. webber will be on the podium and koob will make up some good places and get some points.

Well, as Hamilton is a few back from Heikki, it will be interesting to see if Heikki can race from the lead and brign it home. Or somehow LH jumps him during one of the two pit stops of the day?

Personally i wont be too sad if Lewis and Kimi get a bit competitive and hamper one another allowing us to see Webber and Heikki have a straight battle at the front for the first 20 or so laps. I hope Webber gets a sniff and doesnt get swallowed on the first few corners :)

Webber won't have the pace for the McLaren, he will be immediately defending from the Ferrari (if he doesn't get passed by it at the first corner) and this will give Heikki a chance to grab a 3-5sec lead before running wide and having Kimi on his back until the first round of pitstops...

i'm not convinced webber is as light as people are making out.

by his tongue in cheek response to the journos, i think he may have a pretty average opening stint fuel load on board and was gobsmacked when other cars were just plain slower.

he was on the pace all weekend and was very quick only the macs looked faster.

now he can bog it down on the start but then work his way to a glorious win carving his way through the traffic when it rains.

That would absolutely make my year.

Hes always been filth in the rain.

What are the chances for water in the race anyways?

from F1 website

The skies above Silverstone were dark and overcast first thing Sunday, and the forecast remains for unpredictable weather with frequent heavy rain showers and an ambient temperature high between 17 and 18 degrees Celsius.

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.

    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
