looks like a wet race this sunday!! get excited

except you webber, you can just get f**ked

can wait to see hammo, vettel and nando to show them how its done in the wet

Oh boy, if Webber wins you can expect this to be quoted followed by witticisms and dancing bananas. He's got as good a chance as anyone. Have you forgotten one of his wins last year was in the wet?

we indeed will

but his 2 wins certainly doesn't put him in the same league as those Ivan mentioned

I'm assuming Ivan is the person whose quote I responded to?

I've never claimed Mark Webber is the greatest driver in history, that wasn't anywhere near my point. I simply meant that he has quite a good chance at winning on Sunday, for several reasons:

  1. One of Mark Webber's wins was in the wet, and rain is forecast apparently
  2. The Red Bull has shown strong evidence that it is a fast car. If they can make it finish (which they apparently can for Webber) a win is most definitely possible
  3. If it rains anything can happen. Remember speed-meister Giancarlo Fisichella? He won a wet race ... in a Jordan!

I'm sick of people knocking Mark just because he only has two wins. If you look at the history of the cars he's driven none of them before last year had more than a remote chance of winning, pretty much none at all in fact. It doesn't matter who you are, in F1 if you don't have the right car you can't win, and before last year Mark didn't have the right car. His teammates haven't done much better, with the exception of last year.

Yes Mark has had a couple of crashes. And this makes him different to who exactly? If you're pushing it in F1 you can crash. Passing in F1 is so difficult these days that it almost requires a kamikaze move. Despite this Mark managed some spectacular passes on Sunday.

Ok trolls, you've had your fun, now leave me alone :cool:

Let's wait and see how he qualifies before we get to claiming how good his chances of winning a potentially wet race are :cool:

As you say, let's wait and see. I was simply trying to point out that a lot of people are writing him off before giving him any chance at all

not all of us are globe trotters like you roy lol. although there are a couple of you on here that get around.

I just remember someone posted up earlier in the thread that they were going to be at a few GPs, wondering if this weekend was one of them

    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
