yeah go webber! nice work on the burnout too, I can't believe the camera just panned away as it was happening too. what are they illegal like booze is over there?

vets certainly gave him a nice squeeze into T1 on the opening lap but webz managed to hold on. shame I had some money on webber for the win at 9:1 but luckily I took a back-up position on vettel to win at 5:1 which will get my money back. I also had some decent bucks on rosberg to make the top 8 which was paying 3:1. rosberg you cnt. just one more place!! argh, had webber made 1 more place and rosberg 1 more I would have been cheering. the GF had some cash on rubes to make a podium too and from memory it's odds were not bad, maybe 3:1 or so.

anyway, webber drove well to keep button behind him. in those last few laps webber was getting some mighty sideways action out of the slower corners. and lots of bum wagging under hard braking into them too so he did really well to keep it straight and nice and wide! and how sideways did he get into turn 1 when he clashed with rubes!! biiig moment that one, he did well to crank on enough lock and keep his boot down to hold it together and keep the place.

apart from the first few laps and the last few it seemed pretty boring (i dozed off a few times). but that's no surprise it's a tilke designed track and is just as boring as the rest of them.

it sounds like webber is confirmed at RBR next year which is a good thing. he was narrowly beaten by vettel this year, let's hope he can reverse it next year. it's heartening to see that that margain between button and rubes is double that between vettel and webber. you certainly wouldn't say vettel pounded him, it was very close between the two RBR guys, both had their mistakes, and they bad luck and some great drives as well.

Has anyone read the press conference stuff after with SV and MW sticking it to JB about the "media reported" impending nuptuals? This is the tail end of it.

JB I think there’s going to be a big battle at the front which is going to be a new thing for all of us, because having four teams fighting it out at the front, that hasn’t happened – could you just keep… ‘scuse me, I’m just trying to talk – you might want to listen to this.

MW: We’re just talking about your wedding day, mate. We’re just trying to clear our schedules.

JB: But with four teams at the front, eight drivers fighting out for wins, I think that’s exciting, so, yeah.

Q: (Bob McKenzie – The Daily Express) What’s the date for the wedding, Jenson?

JB: It’s my birthday, did you say? By the way, I’m looking forward to my present, thank you very much, Bob. What did you call me before?

BMcK: The World Champion?

JB: That’s the one, thank you. I’m not getting married this year.

SV: Why not? You don’t love her?

MW: Clear up January, clear it up.

JB: I think some things need to be kept private in your life and that’s one of them. Thank you very much.

yes jenson looked p1ssed when vets made some remark about him getting married during the televised part of the post race conference. not happy at all. I say deal with it. He's a highly paid driver in a high profile sport. I mean if he wants a nice private life he can go and drive a tractor instead and get $50K a year instead of what was it? $10mil? I think he might have to live with being in the public eye just a tad....

mark webber looked the goods this year

hopefully he can grab 3-5 wins next year and be WDC by end 2010 season.

at least he finally proved with a decent car he can match it within the top 5

Yeah, since his missus is pretty ordinary.......poor Jensen.

      So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch

      It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.

      As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.

      R32 gtr transmission strength, billet plate

      Not sure yet.  Was considering speedtek because it was rated to 800hp, but when I did some research about him I don't think I will go for that🤣 So maybe giken gear set, but I'm afraid it won't be strong enough🙄
