What is going on Adam? There is far too many references to pulling anf flogging in your post! :laugh:

I am not one eyed.

The only difference in the FA/LH saga was that as Lewis began to cane FA, FA said f**k this - im not giving him any more data,..or ill give him the wrong data...

Makes sense too. If it were me and my race data was helping a rookie to flog me, then id be pulling the plug too.

LOL, well if you are not one eyed then you must be legally blind :(

You refer to caning and flogging? I look at the drivers championship last year and one point = flogging? What was the points score from mid season to end? Yeh a real flogging. Lewis did an astonishing job as a rookie. No argument. As a driver he farked it up like only an imbecile could :( He played mind games when he didnt need to, he distracted himself and the team when they were already distracted by the FIA/Ferrari thing and then threw the car away like a choker. Thing is it wasnt choking, it was a seemingly obtuse need to do the impossible in order to win a WDC in his rookie year. KEEP IT SIMPEL STUPID, KISS would have had him win the WDC without raising a sweat. If he just kept it simple and let his fragile ego have him place 3rd or 4th in a GP then he would have won the WDC.

So back to this flogging Alonso, i have been over this ground before. If Lewis didnt throw away race weekends then his results would have been approaching what you would call flogging. As is it is nowhere near what you describe. And lets not forget Alonso throved when the pressure was on in the tail end of the year

Yeh bring on toinights McLaren juggernaut. Or lets see of "The real Lewis will please stand up" and him bin it, run into something or have an attack of brain fart :) LOL, he is entertaining to watch :)

Roy, im neither blind nor stupid.

Thing is...

What LH did to FA in his rookie year, and to a 2 time world champion who, lets not forget, won his WDC's when a certain German was around, was nothing short of a floor wiping.

Perhaps in your purist thinking, points = canings...not so.

There are many ways to measure the drivers.

Points is but one of them.

Shall we review the qualifying performances of the 2 drivers in 07? Nah, we dont need to because even then LH outqualified the 2 TIME WDC 10 to 7 and that on tracks he's never even seen before.

I would call that an absolute caning.

So what he missed the WDC last year. The writings on the wall.

1 point to a 2 time champ in your first ever year in F1 - dont even think about going there - you cannot compare an F1 car to a GP2 car

now...that is what i call a caning.

You wouldnt?

Also, the fact that LH missed out in 07 was because of him. FA had nothing in answer.

Yes, all these things, in my mind at least, = A right royal caning.

How i wish MS was still around so we could see LH mop the floor with him...i dont think even the Germans brilliance would be able to withstand him.

Mark my words, the next 10 years will be dominated by a certain British driver so all of those people who whinge and bemoan the fact he's here, get over it because hes going to be around for a very long time.

I dont hate or loathe any of the drivers.,.. FA and KR have pissed me of no end with their arrogance and ignorance but i cant take anything away from them - they are human after all and its not my place to judge but LH....

Just enjoy it because he is aggressive where MS was clinical.

We should thank our lucky stars we have the current lineup in F1...its mega.

Not since the likes of JV has a guy like this come along and its a good thing for the sport.

you doubt my infinite knowledge?

glock and trulli of course...hahah I do follow other teams too, most are too crap and barely register on the radar but lately the dynamic duo has been getting quite a bit of attention.

u never know, he might finally found the speed he need through dangerous experimentation.

funny though, some racers seem to lose the edge when they have a massive crash e.g. my hero Tommi Makinen, ever since his massive accident, he just lost it and never made it back. Sigh...WRC how I miss what you used to be.

back then we had MS dominating the F1 and Tommi owning the WRC, those were special times.

i like the second one as it runs on the full screen (more or less) and lets me watch the formula1 live lap times as well without the issue of minimising the screen to switch.

ps. coresworld has a link to the swf page there too.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
