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

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:

    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
