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

praying

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

    • 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.
