Might be too many cars for 1 grid me thinks!

nah, most of those new teams will get knocked backs this time around. probably only USF1 make it in. and I think marco means 2010 as 2009 is half way over...

to be honest all the politics nonsense detracts from the sport, not adds to it. I like the races, the drivers, the cars and the development behind the cars. but all the bullshit arguments is boring as hell.

The 2 stooges who think they are making the sport better are actually making it worse !!!

Mosely and Ecclestone bunch of old hags should just drop dead already !!!

I seriously hope ferrari and other teams pull out if the fia have there way, then watch the viewers go down by a massive margin.

I don't see why FOTA can't replace the FIA entirely and govern the sport itself... just my 2c

Max has just nvoted them to do exatly that....and you know what, I think it would be great to see it happen. Coupled with the major teams having sister teams using the same chassis, with no testing it means the data can be shared with the sister cars....and same team/engineering costs can be shared accross two teams and sponsors and give us grids of up to 26-28 cars

Ferrari will be competitive for sure and I would like to see nothing more but I expect Brawn to be still the ones to beat.

Max thinks the 9 teams united under FOTA can break away and create their own series.... I say he's calling their bluff! Max is a fkn tosser :)

Not sure if it's been posted here but www.jamesallenonf1.com has great insight on F1, the ex ITV commentator. Never liked him as a commentator but he has some awesome opinions. I tip Red Bull for this one, but ahh so hard to fault Brawn. This season is gonna be boring soon...

practice 2 on now. Vettel has stopped on the track after damaging a gearbox or driveshaft on the kerbs.

it'll be a big job for RBR to get him back on the track and up to speed for the weekend. i presume they are keen to get data on the new aero gear so having him sit on the side of the track will be pretty disappointing for the organisation.

the track seems to be pretty green with lots of drivers going on off track safaris.

Well i need to believe that Webber is the king of understatement, so reading hsi Friday report i am thinking he has plenty of car under him and looking at a good quali run. P3 today will help paint a better picture. With Vettel's engine drama it looks like luck the past two race weekends has swung Webbers way, hopefully that equates to some momentum and Webber puts it on the front row.

No doubt Vettel is a gun qualifier, but i cant believe that Webber sint good enough to pull a lap sooner or later.

The dark horse for the weekend will be Massa, Rubens, Massa and Webber for the podium. Not sure of respective positions yet

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
