This was my dream drive when i was 6 years old. My dad was working at Repco then and used to bring home heaps of stickers and posters for me.

Still love the look even today. Would be an Awesome track car today. I just want one BAD. :P

how much money does proton have? i'd like to see lotus return

http://www.autoblog.com/2009/09/07/report-...ber-return-lot/

As much as I miss Lotus not being in Formula one - it isn't really Lotus anymore, is it? Malaysian money backing a German team doesn't have much to do with CBAC does it?

In retrospect how badly did Ford stuff up backing Stewart & letting Lotus die in the 90's? Money spent on a Lotus Ford would have paid far greater dividends than that wasted on Stewart then Jaguar.

he is just proving what a spoilt little bitch he is! :P

My issue isnt with the team telling him to crash (i cant believe that they ddi, i just done get it) but the fact that d1ckless hack agreed to do it. Is he retarded as well as slow? If they told hm to do it then he is the biggest joke of a driver to come through the F1 ranks in my recent memory. If its not true he is the most pathetic individual i have ever seen in the sporting arena for throwing a fictional hissy fit at ex-team.

Its not like he was like Bourdais and there abouts and was a call that could be debated, but agreed was the right call. He was SLOW, and CRASHED and was getting worse, not better.!

Take the family name and jam it up their precious a55holes!!!!!!!!!!

phew....feel better now :(

The full statement.

Either way another massive hit for F1. If true given McLaren's 100million fine, what the fark do you do with Renault?

As much as I want to believe it's crap, its hard to ignore that it all actually happened in that Alonso had just enough fuel to go to teh crash.

I can't see Renault hanging around.

Some are saying it's ballsy of him to make the statement, but then what does he have to lose?

Shame he only developed a conscience once he had no hope of another f1 seat.

The excuses he puts up are pathetic imho. From his Official Website:

"I believe without doubt in my talent and my performance. I didn't get this far by getting bad results. Anyone who knows my history knows that the results I am having in F1 do not match my CV and my ability. The conditions I have had to deal with during the last two years have been very strange to say the least there are incidents that I can hardly believe occurred myself. If I now need to give explanations, I am certain it is because of the unfair situation I have been in the past two years. I always believed that having a manager was being a part of a team and having a partner. A manager is supposed to encourage you, support you, and provide you with opportunities. In my case it was the opposite. Flavio Briatore was my executioner"

Shame he feels this *unfair situation* justifies him putting other drivers, officials and spectators' safety at risk.

the comparison shot they show you through the chicanes is great

the ferraris and red bulls arent riding the kerbs well at all

But the Mclaren looks, Cheat-tastic as it leaves the track !

Doesn't it ?

They changed the height of the kerbs to define the track confines !

After Hamo's failure to grasp them last year.

I would expect penalty's for any constant leaping of kerbs this weekend.

And possibly damaged cars for the foolhardy.

Go force india!

V J deserves the win for being such a gentleman in a pool of sharks.

cheers cokey

Yeah- with the least fuel, he's going to have to drive balls-out to the first stop to build a decent margin back to 2nd place. Here's hoping there's no safety car intervention in the first stint.

No doubt he'll arrive at the first corner still P1 if he gets a good launch, like he has done most races, but Sutil is just gunna get smoked by the 2 KERS cars behind him during the drag race down to Rettifilo.

Hamilton, Räikkönen, Kovalainen should be the order after the first chicane.

      V37 Radiator removal

      By Duncan · Posted

      So, this shouldn't be such a mission, but there were a few tricks so I thought I'd post up a DIY for it. This was on a Q50 Red Sport but I doubt any other V37 model is very different (maybe just less steps for the intake heat exchanger hoses) I pulled the radiator out to flush it because the car was running hot at the track, but obviously the same steps apply for changing a radiator for any reason including an upgrade. If you are removing the radiator, you of course need to drain and refill, so have 5+ litres of blue coolant ready. You don't need to drain the intake heat exchanger to remove the radiator but depending on your plans you may need a couple of litres for that as well. You will also need something to deal with the auto transmission lines, I used 2x 8mm rubber caps on the radiator side, and a short length of 8mm pipe on the car side.....unless you can block these lines quickly you will loose AT fluid and it may be enough to hurt the transmission if you don't refill it. Other than that....lets go... "First, jack up your car". Yes really, and put it safely on stands. If you are not confident doing that you need to give this job to a mechanic

      Unpeeling the Orange

      If the forester is anything like our old 2007 GTB Liberty, I could near on run ling Long's and "rate them", as no matter what, it just hung to the road, even when abusing it in a hard launch in the wet, or throwing it at corners.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
