dammit. i was hoping for a hamilton style smoking for senna.

i got a hundred on hamilton not even making the top 3 in the WDC this year. too much pressure, too much expectation, too many other good drivers...

good bet i reckon, he nearly threw it away for the second year running if it wasnt for Glock moving over for him. Hamilton is yet to win a championship convinceingly. tough season to come for him.

Now they can go back to doing what they do best- being an engine supplier only

Instead of running a busted-arse race team

Either that or get the Richards/Willis combo running it again... Remember when J. Button was best of the rest in 2004? I'm sure these lads know how to run a team! Barichello/Senna & Button in a Prodrive Honda.... MMmmmmm! :)

I'd say the pressure is on him more than ever.. To win the championship convincingly... Loosing position to an inferior Toro Rosso a few laps from the end isn't all that convincing... I say that he drove wonderfully most of the season, and in China he drove as he needed to, level headed, aggressive and fast without going nucking futs.. Brazil on the other hand, he was off the boil, badly.. Then there was Japan... Red mist anyone???

his best has come and gone, time to get some new guys in

ah yeah, for sure- just thought you might have harboured some specific grudge against him

just like Webber, He'll certainly never have a WDC to his name

the v8s ran last year. it was the first time in a while but they were definately there. so id say there is a good chance of seeing the R35, they did a parade last year which had the Bugatti Vayron in it, should have heard that thing.

Are V8's on the schedule for Melbourne? They weren't last year!

Will be interesting to see how Kimi goes after his WC hang over last year, testing looking good already for the red team

Rubens proved he still had it... He out drove and out scored Button this year... Doesn't sound like much of a 'has-been' performance to me....

doesn't say much for Button, does it?

who are they both driving for respectively this year?

Lol, if glock didnt stay out on the wrong tyres he wouldnt have even been there for hamilton to pass easily on the right tyres

    • 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.
