See, this doesn't actually look too bad, proportion is good..

Plus, those slick do indeed succeed in giving me a bit of a hard on! :D:):yes:

I couldnt be happier with this^^

ive got a hundy on with a mate that hamilton finished higher than kimi this yeah in the WDC. Will be interesting :)

I don't reckon- Heikki has more base talent than Webz. Watch him shine this year.

That is a tough one. I think Heikki was the luckiest guy in F1 to get a seat after being punted from Renault where he never really did much. Then again neither did Fisi so that is an observation more then a compliment or insult.

Heikki may be pacey, we will see. But mentally a guy like Webber would run circles around Heikki which means i think it will make him the more consistant driver, and a bigger asset to a team as there is no way you can question Webbers ability. He qualifies well, he leaps up the front of the grid when its wet and the few times he has had a good car under him he has strangled out a result from the car. So even IF Heikki is a bit pacier, it would have to be by a pretty small margin.

In a full year driving one of the best 4 cars on the grid, often the fastest car by a long way on weekends he stumbled into a single win and came a weak as piss 7th in the Championship behind a Renault, both BMWs and both Ferraris. Even if the team was helping Lewis more then Heikki, 7th without even being close to 5th or 6th is a pretty massive fail :D

Hell Webber had his first test yesterday. Pumped out something like 85 laps and was only half a second off the McLaren and quicker then the Williams and Renaults. He jumped from the car and said something along the lines of well that went well. LOL tough as nuts our Boy Mark. The guy is mentally tough, disciplined, very focussed on his team and his racing and may not be the greatest talen on the grid...is far more talented then most and more talented then some who have WDCs to their name but happened to luck into better cars.

Looking forward to his year battling it out with Vettel. Incidentally he was quicker then Vettel who was driving the car before him, though its hard to know the spec of car and conditions.

AND, awesome to see STR giving Bourdais another go. The guy has huge amounts of talen, but struggled mid season and had some bad luck. Teh fact that he opnely admitted he was struggling and workign with the team to bridge the gap to Vettel with regards to setup tells me the guy has the talent and the attitude needed to improve. Come on the quiet French guy who does his talkign when he is wheel to wheel in the braking area :)

I'd have more respect for Webber if he actually binned his car having a go (like DC with his up the inside and over the top type moves) than just sitting back and happy with a 10th, no points and a waste of even turning up.

more talented then some who have WDCs to their name but happened to luck into better cars.

Just curious who you're refferring to there?

Kimi?

Lewis?

Alonso?

Those are the 3 that spring to mind, so maybe I'm missing someone, but don't tell me you think Webber has more talent that any of the above...?

In recent history i am thinking Damon Hill and possibly JV who if the car wasnt perfect struggled

Ah, I thought you were refferring to the current line-up. Lucky, you would've lost whatever little credibility you have left Bris :P

Thats 08 spec wing though, im not sure why mclaren arent doing more testing with the 09 wing. Surely you would want as much time as possible learning the big change to your rear downforce?

Apparently that where getting on track results with the 09 wing that didn't match up with the CFD/wind tunnel results, so they put a know quality 08 wing trimmed out to match the 09 downforce levels on to the car to get a new baseline for the testing that they where doing.

Yeah im discusted by their decision with the rear wings. And im still pessimistic about how much more overtaking is actually going to result from it :P

One advantage i can see with the 09 wings is the improvement in visability, especially through the mirrors.

I think revised aero, kers and rules for engines and gearboxes to last longer was all that needed to be done.

Flavio said recently that kers this year is a joke because next year its going to be standardised. So whatever teams spend this year is completely lost. So much for saving money strategies F1!

But the big teams cant afford to wait and not run kers this year, so hundreds of millions is being wasted.

I think the article was in the last f1 magazine

    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
    • When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
