One can only hope the lil Lewi falls over in the finale! My my that would be a fantastic post race interview :P

On a side note, how suckfull would it be if Mosley gets his control engine/box idea passed...... can you say, "A1 GP"?

yeah, I'm at a loss to understand why he's trying to push the control engine thing so much, What would be the point of the manufacturers championship if they cant manufacture and develop their own engine? It would do bad things for the sport... if not kill it all together

yeh, i agree, the manufacturers will have no interest.

maybe a controll chassis with manufacturers power plants.

maybe just leave it alone and f**k the teams that can't afford to compete in what is supposed to be the pinnacle of motorsport...

As for 08, I feel its too far out of reach for Massa, but I'll be preying for hamilton to put on a hamilton07-esque performance and bin it.

Roy, you forgot a major factor which is sure to shake up the grid next year - any team backed in a major way by a bank will have no budget to develop their new cars. bad times for those guys, they are going to have to cut back majorly on the caviar budget.

and the manufacturer back teams will have major budget issues too - how do you think ferrari's sales have been in the last 3 months compared to the 9 months prior....

In a further development I understand the FIA have been watching this thread all year and have decided to ditch the stewards, and just take decisions from the posters in this thread.

Yeh, Renault are good with ING, they haev lsot money but the relationship with F1 has been very positive for them, they are still strong despite all the current agro, but despite all this have just been guaranteed money to ensure confidence as they have declared a loss for the 3rd quarter

But yeh, by by Williams with RBS, Lenovo etc all struggling and in smelly piles of dog poo

don't forget that year long ago. I think it was 2007. a certain lewi homoton went into the last race of the season with a 7 point lead over his closest rival and finished that race without a WDC...

deja vu all over again.........I remember that morning, I missed the race, turned on the computer and cried tears of joy.

Here's hoping...

As much as I hate to say it, I don't see any way he could lose it...

I'll be preying he does, but at the same time, I'm a realist.

Surely his ego can't be THAT big that he tries something ridiculous

Side note. Louise thinks the entire F1 paddock owes him something already....can't wait to see what he's like as a WDC...

'praying' Dezz

Kimi should just slam right into the back of lewis's car.

why not eh? the FIA will prolly just find a way to give Lewis a 10 place grid penalty for the first round next season; something like "failure to move over for Scuderia Ferrari driver"

Well, Heikis car went bang....Lewis has had an amazing run of reliability. Its not out of this world possible that he has a mechanical problem or falls victim to first corner dramas, but i hope that is not the case. We saw enough of that with MS.

Anything is still possible, hell this time when he clips the wall in the wet he may have suspension fail. Or someone may run into him in the pits. Or someone on the better tyre for the conditions may force him onto the grass in the wet...or his car can just go bang. Is this race the second race for the engine :)

Yes, but Alonso wasn't isn't exactly a Fisichella either... Heikki on the other hand... Formula 1's new Giancarlo... I just hope the Renaults are really strong in Brazil.. Hopefully Trulli and/or Webbo might be up the pointy end of the field.... God... Please, can SOMETHING HAPPEN TO HOMOTON, KTHNXGODDOOD!!

yep massa and kimi on new engines. lewey the fly on 1 race old engine...

the only hard bit is we not only need lewey taken out we need massa to finish 1st or 2nd too... surely the collective hatred of everyone on the grid can combine in one giant conspiracy to thwart leweys efforts and hand a win to massa.

Well I for one (probably the only one given the amount of hate on these forums for Hamilton) hope that McLaren can secure a drivers championship.

Not sure why anyone would watch sport willing someone to fail.

Oh and Mercedes said the motor in Lewis' car is fine.

I hope that Hamilton wins the championship. I think last year taught him something and drive to win the championship...but then again Japan is a prime example. but knowing how F1 is, Ferarri will kick up a stink and find something to DQ Hamilton and give the championship to Massa.

IMO Ferarri will take the constructors title. the greatest surprise i want to see Webber wins the last race

I don't know why Hamilton is so hated...I can remember alot of people hating Michael Schumacher (and some people still do) because he was brash and arrogant (and don't forget the the dirty tactics to win some of his championships). I think Hamilton will mature with age but he needs to win a championship or two to shut up all the naysayers

    • our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
    • What are we supposed to be seeing in the photo of the steering angle sensor? The outer housing doesn't turn, right? All the action is on the inside. The real test here is whether or not your car has had the steering put back together by a butcher. When the steering is centred (and we're not caring about the wheel too much here, we're talking about the front wheels, parallel, facing front) then you should have an absolutely even number of turns from centre to left lock and centre to right lock. If there is any difference at all then perhaps the thing has been put back together wrongly, either the steering wheel put on one spline (or more!) off, and the alignment bodged to straighteb the wheel, or the opposite where something silly was done underneath and the wheel put back on crooked to compensate. Nut there isn't actually much evidence that you have such a problem anyway. It is something you can easily measure and test for to find out though. My money is still on the HICAS CU not driving the PS solenoid with the proper PWM signal required to lighten the load at lower speed. If it were me, I would be putting either a multimeter or oscilloscope onto the solenoid terminals and taking it for a drive, looking for the voltage to change. The PWM signal is 0v, 12V, 0V, 12v with ...obviously...modulated pulse width. You should see that as an average voltage somewhere between 0V and 12V, and it should vary with speed. An handheld oscilloscope would be the better tool for this, because they are definitely good enough but there's no telling if any cheap shit multimeter that people have lying around are good enough. You can also directly interfere with the solenoid. If you wire up a little voltage divider with variable resistor on it, and hook the PS solenoid direct to 12V through that, you can manually adjust the voltage to the solenoid and you should be able to make it go ligheter and heavier. If you cannot, then the problem is either the solenoid itself dead, or your description of the steering being "tight" (which I have just been assuming you mean "heavy") could be that you have a mechanical problem in the steering and there is heaps of resistance to movement.
    • Little update  I have shimmed the solenoid on the rack today following Keep it Reets video on YouTube. However my steering is still tight. I have this showing on Nisscan, my steering angle sensor was the closest to 0 degrees (I could get it to 0 degrees by small little tweaks, but the angle was way off centre? I can't figure this out for the life of me. I get no faults through Nisscan. 
    • The BES920 is like the Toyota Camrys of coffee machines. E61 group head is cool, however the time requirements for home use makes it less desirable. The Toyota Camry coffee machine runs twin boilers and also PID temp control, some say it produces coffees as good as an E61 group head machine.
    • And yes with a full tank it will hit limiter free revving or driving 6B6CDF6E-4094-426D-A9CB-6C553475FE36.mp4
