but jim's racing with Mezara, so he's got no chance :)

JPM for the F1 title. He manageged to drive alongside MS thru the first chicane at Monza. Would MS show the same sense if punting someone off would win him the title?

I never really liked Longhurst until he decided to try and knock Morris's head off, for which i award him the big :D

So hes alright in my book:D ... even if he does seem to get thrown out of every team he has driven for after one season, maybe he should go and setup his own team again.:(

Montoya for F1 championship cauz Shuey is a bit of a tool, (if u can remember back to the Damon Hill days).

DIDO... Skaife for bathurst, or perhaps Lowndes/Seton, and go the Williams, next to Jordan they are the biggest employer of Aus engineers in F1

Hat goes off to MS, looks like he has it in the bag with the last round being at Suzuka, but you never can tell.

I have to say last night was one of the most entertaining races i have seen in a while. I almost woke everyone in the house when Weber went off. NOOOO!!!

If your a team owner and you have a guy that is genuinely leading a race, (ie after pitstop would still be in lead, if not 2nd) then if its pissing down rain why do you bring the teamate in first for wets, only to leave in this case Weber to slide off into the wall on slicks?

The rain/weather looked to suit the Jaguars, if only he had lasted one more lap he could have finished 3rd instead of Frentzen, if not better.

Yeah it was a good race, at first, wasn;t it, almost worth waking up for :D

as always though, there was so much luck involved in tyre choice in the wet - it worked for schumaker but totally stuffed up montoya.

And with Weber, he has always seemed pretty confident with wet track, he may well have told the team he was OK (as DC must have). Pretty brave call on a track with such a quick section....

I think DC was the guinea pig for Mclaren and Raikkonen, the minute DC radiod back that slicks would do the job, Raikkonen would come in.

I have a video soemwhere of Weber in the his first and only year in Formula Ford in Aus, the race is at Phillip Island in the pooring rain, and he won by a huge margin, somehting like 35 seconds in FF for gods sake.

Came from like 4th on the grid too because of dry qualifying, it seems he has a feel for the slippery conditions!

Channel 9 ...old habits die hard

I was about to start recording when i saw the rain come down after the leaders had already done their first stop and Weber inherited the lead just about as he was to do his first stop. As the others had to pit twice within 4-5 laps for wets i started to get a sniff that this could be Webers first race win. Just as i was grabbing a tape, Weber hit the barrier... oh well.

      J50 clock date suddenly reset to January 1

      By MBS206 · Posted

      With the system, once you drive it for a bit, and before you turn the car off, does the car fix its date and time? When you say the date is wrong, what date does the vehicle think it is, and does it always show the same date? My thoughts from a process driven view is; The system may be defaulting to a standard start date/time. The main reason you'd typically see this occuring, is the system is losing its constant/backup power supply.   If its always defaulting to the same date/time at start up, and especially if it fixes itself while driving, I'd say either the non volatile memory has an issue, or the power supply to the volatile memory that stores this information.   The other thing I'd check is if there is anywhere in the system you can adjust the date and time from. If the date/time is still moving forward since it wished you happy new year, then it is 100% possible the system has just had a bit of data corruption occur, and you likely need to find a way to reset the date/time in the vehicle.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      Scissor Jacks are an accident waiting to happen, the only time they should be used are in an roadside flat, even then a tyre and rim should be placed underneath

      You know how your car rolled through a fence in your last jacking escapade? Scissor jacks increase the likely hood of that sort of thing happening immensely!

      http://calfinn.com.au/product/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c   I have this and fits under a S3 33 GTR with no issues. Purchased in 2009 and not one issue. It was $950 back then. Not cheap but something so important isn’t worth cheaping out on.

      Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
