F1's not going anywhere. It's no big deal. There'll be another tyre supplier deal soon enough.

Sure some of these street/desert circuits are a yawn, but there's still a whole heap of decent tracks.

Ok, trying to not be a prima donna here... However, this is going from bad, to worse, to completely f*cking ridiculous... Big teams are pulling out, F1 loosing its sole tyre supplier, Goodyear is committed elsewhere (USA, Drag scene... ect), Pirrelli are Italian and inherently useless... Firestone are basically bridgestone anyway, and Michelin will probably just tell F1 to go f*ck itself... What then? Dunlop???? Oh f*cking YAY!

Some strange stories doing the rounds! Latest is that Button is doing the rounds and did a tour at McLaren with Whitmarsh. Button is pissed at Brawn for not coughing up the dollars and McLaren pissed at Kimi for asking too many dollars.

My attempt at a far fetched silly season change is Merc convince Mac Attack to lift the veto on RBR using Mercedes engines if they get Vettel. RBR lose Vettel, but get a great engine, a big cash payout for Vettel freeing up budget for development and meeting the terms of Kimi. The other week there were stories that Kimi was talking to RBR and people simply assumed it would result in Webber losing his seat. The strange thing at the time was when questioned Webber welcomed the idea saying that he would be a good fit for the team...a strange thing to say at the time. He also said the contracts are signed but would work themselves out...so either he was having a bit of fun with the media or there was batering going on for Vettel.

An RBR pairing of Kimi and Webber is no weaker then the Vettel-Webber. Newey knows the guy and would know whether he is better/worse then Vettel and could be a force in the background.

LOL, but it wont happen :(

Button holds talks with McLaren in Woking

tell you what

that would be an excellent partnership, maybe even better than the kimi/hammo dynamic

i think they'd be a great "team", where kimi and lewis would create a somewhat incompatible and inevitably spiteful relationship

... fkn excellent to watch either way

Watch the UK press just cream their pants if that happens; Two British drivers in a strong British team. Tabloid heaven.

watch the shit storm rain down on them when thay come second and third instead of fist and second in melbounre

you can read the scathing headlines now

its pretty much the only reason i woud like to see kimi in there, an all brittish team would disintegrate almost as fast as an all italian one

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
