But Flavc is the man..i mean he boned Heidi Klum, knocked her up and then dumped her. So he gets my vote for being able to walk away from her...something most will kill for :rofl:

Depending on who you fly and when you book, airfares will be under $1000. Tickets will be $600 and then accom, meals and transport will be about $200 per day. Of course you can double that in the evenings on the drink...last year i was drinking with some kiwis who worked for BMW-Sauber...funnuy night! :)

I realised last night whilst watching the Abu Dhabi GP again, that the worse thing with having Homo and Button in the same teams is their fathers, now the BBC will have a camera crew permanently stationed in the McLaren garage, and we'll get to see the reactions of both these tools to any minor happening.

dont forget to root for one of our own as well... has everyone forgot mark already.....

"There's only one driver other than Michael Schumacher out there that lives, breathes, sleeps, eats Formula One 110% - and that's Mark Webber," Paul Stoddart.

yeah agreed. I would love to see Mark get a WDC this year. Hey, he was not that far out last season and it was a pretty tough season. GO MARK!

I also agree with the paul quote. mark is definitely a man who made things happen for himself almost purely through drive and determination. he was not necessarily the most talented bloke out there, but he certainly trained and practised the hardest.

Yeah, it's bullshit. If his ban has been overturned, they should also refund McLaren's fine from 2007, as well as their constructors championship points aswell lol.

dunno about that. it's kind of a technicality. McLaren is after all a licence holding team so under the rules they can be punished. this ruling effectively stated that the FIA and the WMSC did not have the right to level this kind of punishment on a 3rd party individual as it would be akin to having them blacklisted in their chosen profession. I still think it's bullshit though. He should have been banned. The penalty fitted the crime.

lol, he was already stuck on his own as no one wanted to sit next to him as he dripped with sweaty back and armpits!

though he is quite a handsome bloke. I can really see why heidi klum would let him do nasty things to her.... I wonder if he works out?

this shot was probably him having a shower after a hard day of sitting still at a pit wall telemetry screen in the shade... sweaty work that.

Hey piss off people...you are taking pot shots at my hero, I mean it may take me to being 65 until i have enough coin to bed a babe and i need to believe if i am fatm ugly and generally suffering from a bad attitude that it wont stop me from scoring the sort of girl i used to bat off to at age 14 :blink:

    • So I mentioned the apprentice, @LachyK helped take the bonnet off. We just undid the nuts on the hinges and unclipped the gas struts, then pulled the bonnet back a little as the front was catching on the front bar.  I had a good look at everything today and have removed the rams, repaired/reset the hinges and bolted it back together like it never happened. I'll do a separate write up on the repair, and I also removed the poppers from the Fuga today too to save grief down the road.....as said above it is at least $5k to repair retail. I'm also happier about my ability to prepare a race car, and less happy about Nis-nault's engineering (I can hear @GTSBoy sAfrican Americaning) because the top hose of the radiator didn't slip off.......it snapped clean off. By practice I put the hose clamp hard up against the flare on a neck to make it least likely to ever move (thanks @Neil!). I guess that puts a little more pressure on the end of the pipe as it is further away from the rad, but still, that is pretty shit. I've put it back on for now as there was a fair bit of neck still there, but obviously there is no lip on the neck any more so I don't think I'll track it again until I have a new rad. Speaking of which....more research required. It looks like Koyo makes a standard size radiator in ally which I'll grab in the meantime, but I really want something thicker so might have to go custom in the medium term (ouch) Coolant still needs a refill and I have the pressure tester on it over night, but other than a wash down of the engine bay it seems alright. And @MBS206 noted something noisy on the front of the engine and I think I agree....time for a new accessory belt and tensioners I think.
    • our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
    • What are we supposed to be seeing in the photo of the steering angle sensor? The outer housing doesn't turn, right? All the action is on the inside. The real test here is whether or not your car has had the steering put back together by a butcher. When the steering is centred (and we're not caring about the wheel too much here, we're talking about the front wheels, parallel, facing front) then you should have an absolutely even number of turns from centre to left lock and centre to right lock. If there is any difference at all then perhaps the thing has been put back together wrongly, either the steering wheel put on one spline (or more!) off, and the alignment bodged to straighteb the wheel, or the opposite where something silly was done underneath and the wheel put back on crooked to compensate. Nut there isn't actually much evidence that you have such a problem anyway. It is something you can easily measure and test for to find out though. My money is still on the HICAS CU not driving the PS solenoid with the proper PWM signal required to lighten the load at lower speed. If it were me, I would be putting either a multimeter or oscilloscope onto the solenoid terminals and taking it for a drive, looking for the voltage to change. The PWM signal is 0v, 12V, 0V, 12v with ...obviously...modulated pulse width. You should see that as an average voltage somewhere between 0V and 12V, and it should vary with speed. An handheld oscilloscope would be the better tool for this, because they are definitely good enough but there's no telling if any cheap shit multimeter that people have lying around are good enough. You can also directly interfere with the solenoid. If you wire up a little voltage divider with variable resistor on it, and hook the PS solenoid direct to 12V through that, you can manually adjust the voltage to the solenoid and you should be able to make it go ligheter and heavier. If you cannot, then the problem is either the solenoid itself dead, or your description of the steering being "tight" (which I have just been assuming you mean "heavy") could be that you have a mechanical problem in the steering and there is heaps of resistance to movement.
    • Little update  I have shimmed the solenoid on the rack today following Keep it Reets video on YouTube. However my steering is still tight. I have this showing on Nisscan, my steering angle sensor was the closest to 0 degrees (I could get it to 0 degrees by small little tweaks, but the angle was way off centre? I can't figure this out for the life of me. I get no faults through Nisscan. 
    • The BES920 is like the Toyota Camrys of coffee machines. E61 group head is cool, however the time requirements for home use makes it less desirable. The Toyota Camry coffee machine runs twin boilers and also PID temp control, some say it produces coffees as good as an E61 group head machine.
