Hope you have a ball mate! I was SO hoping to win that prize that ONE HD was running :)

Thanks mate, i will :mad:

I have never been OS and never been to a F1 GP, so im just about busting at the seems with excitement! I was going to go last year but couldnt get the passport ready in time.

It was hard to divert funds that usually go on the car to travel but i could go on modding the car forever so i thought it was about time

Bris, im not taking a phone over mate but i really think you should be there if you can, they rekon the atmosphere at the night race is right up there as far as F1 races go!

I really hope hamilton and webber can do well, ive been hanging to get a big mclaren jacket but i might just opt for the tshirt they all wear as the trip has cost a fair bit

I might rewatch last years race now i think :D

Just stay away from the Towers...errr and if you have to go keep your wallet in your pocket....err and if you have to havea go then make sure you have two rubbers and some tiger balm....if not of that makes sense then go back to rule 1...stay away from the towers :D

Good advice bris, i think ill ill be able to keep it in my pants though :)

I just wish i had a decent digi cam to get some photos of the cars, i dont think my $200 sony is going to cut it somehow :D

Talbo: thanks mate, ill be sure to spare a thought for all the sau f1 fanboys!

* Opens Arms for Alonso at the Baron's garage...

I will miss Kimi's animated articulation of the spoken word whilst having the best job in the world*.....

Clearly I have the best job in the world,

And Kimi wants to be me!

I cannot belive SPA residents are omplainin about noise, with track mangament having to issue an Environmental Imapct Assessement, obviously they just threw a was of documents at them. Problem is this has now been found to bed deficient and they have had their licence to operate pulled :)

the Kimster could well be the most boring human being to listen to in history; but the fkr can DRIVE, so it's all good

and Kimi's job is better- yours is just even more dangerous

Well, it appears to be a bit of a shame that the Germans didn't run over more of those smelly, crepé eating Belgians with their panzers in WWII... Now that they are complaining about this 'track' noise... MOTHERF*CKERS! Spa in one of the finest and most loved tracks in the world... FFS.... Of ALL the places in Benelux that a person could possibly live, they dwell in the Ardennes, NEXT to a race track... and then have the gall to complain... I think there is a major global shortage of HTFU...

Leaving for Sing in a few hours, soooo pumped! Just hope the Ferrari lads keep the fuel rigs in the garages and their cars out of the concrete barriers! :)

Sitting pretty for turn 1 again, hope the improvements to the track encourage more passing! :) I CAN'T WAIT!!!

Im leaving at midnight marco, ill be jst at the start of the turn 2 grandstand i figured you get a better view of the first 3 corners and the huge screen from there!,

I wonder if we ill get wet at some point and how the humidity will be ;)

how the fk could they let this happen. I might as well just forget about driving cars at all and start taking massive amounts of LSD and just sit in my room playing F1 on PS3. it's about as 'real' as it will get in the years to come...

I went last year..

tips for ya.

1) Heaps of money for booze/water, you'll need it... Badly.. ;)

2) Shorts and short sleeves/T-Shirts are a massive 'must have', people wearing longies and shirts are simply mad, it is sooo hot and muggy, you'll feel like jumping into the river! :yes:

3) Curash/baby powder, do not underestsimate the pain and discomfort of jock-itch/rash... Burn baby burn. Prevention is better than cure. :yes:

4) Make sure you take an anti-persperant deodorant, you'll sweat like a sow on heat.. :yes:

5) Have fun, and my teh fez win babeh! :):D

PS, I'll be signing autographs at the KFC near Sim Lim tower... lol, all the Singaporean school kids mistook me and my cuzzybro for Ferrari employees last year.. Funny as! Hahaha, Singaporeans are the coolest/funniest/sweetest people you'll meet, they're always so happy... If you've never been, I'm sure you'll love everything, bar the weather, which sux big monkey nutz..

Hey man thanks for the tips!

Ill be going for hamlilton and mclaren firstly but my second team has to be red bull because of webber. I really hope both of them can get up there this weekend. Unless fisi has improved id say all your eggs are riding with kimi, and we know what happened to him last year ;)

Its not noise, its music. I was about 15kms from the track when i went, and on the Sat night of the 24hr race i say on the porch drinking dodgy beer and at 11am you could clearly hear the sweetest noise of GT2 and GT3 cars screaming, popping and farting on the downchanges...ok the farting may have been me :)

It was nice sitting on teh balcony with a beer, with this view, listening to Sports cars race around Spa :banana:

    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
    • OK, now we are ready to get started. You need to remove the air boxes on each side for clearance. The cover is straightforward, undo the clips on the top and lift the front cover out of the rest of the housing. If it is tight you can remove the air filters first. The rear section of the airbox is trickier. On each side you need to remove the Air flow meter wiring which is held to the airbox with a clip; you need to get behind the clip on 2 sides if you want to remove it without breaking it - unclip the harder side and pull on the clip with medium force, then unclip the easier side and it should pop out The airbox is held onto the intake hose with a spring clamp; you need to get a flat bladed screwdriver behind the spring on both sides and pop them outwards. When you have got them in the right unclipped place they will stay there and the airbox slips out pretty freely. Put a rag in the intake to prevent anything getting dropped in there, and also to prevent you seeing that the turbo seal is leaking oil (as they do). Then. The top of the radiator is held by a steel plate, it is secured by 2x10mm and 2x12mm headed bolts . Remove them and remove the plate Also grab the bushings that hold the radiator to the plate on each side so they are not lost!
    • Next, remove the upper and lower radiator hoses, both are held with a spring clamp. While you are under there, tackle the Auto Trans cooler lines.  Again both are held on with spring clamps, and as mentioned above you should cap them on the radiator side with an 8mm cap, and on the car side loop them with a length of 8mm pipe - this will stop you losing a dangerous amount of AT fluid during the rest of the job If you've been meaning to add a sender for AT trans temp, this is a great time to do it; put a sender fitting into the passenger side line as that is the inlet to the cooler/radiator.
    • Next you need to remove the intake duct (as with pretty much every job on these cars), it is a series of clips you gently remove with a flat bladed screwdriver. They do get brittle with time and can break, and I have not found a decent quality aftermarket one that fits (they are all too soft or flimsy and don't last either) but the nissan ones are a couple of bucks each (ouch).  Once the clips are off (either 8 or 10, I didn't check) you lift the intake duct out and will see the reservoirs Undo the line into the radiator side cap (some bent needle nosed piers are awesome for spring clamps) and then remove the 4x 10m nuts that hold both in place.  I didn't get these pics, but remove the line under the radiator reservoir (spring clamp again) then remove that reservoir. Then you can get at the intake reservoir, same thing, spring clamp underneath then remove it. BTW This is a great time to put in a larger (+70%) combined reservoir that AMS makes..... https://www.amsperformance.com/product/q50-q60-red-alpha-coolant-expansion-tank/ They also make an Infiniti branded and part# version if that is your thing
