Well Williams Renault has a certain ring to it.

As does Lotus - Renault. In black. With some bloke called Senna driving.

Your Polish mate in the Renault is doing alot better than almost everyone thought this year. His team mate doesn't suck teh balls to anywhere near the extent I thought he would, come to that.

Bring back McConville I say. The yocals bore me to tears. The Brits are their usual one eyed selves. Still it is better than Murray Walker when Mansell was around.

yep, agree my polish bro is doing well. he is still about as appealing to look at as a donkeys arse crack but man he can drive. definitely punching above his weight at the moment.

you're right too petrov is not as shit as I thought he would be. doing a reasonable job of it so far.

All this BS of trying to break the tow? Come on. Drafting is part of motorsport, and is really the first principle for getting close enough to a car to get a tow, pull out and get the job done under brakes.

Even the FIA for a long time have written:

2. Overtaking, car control and track limits

b) Overtaking, according to the circumstances, may be carried out on either the right or the left.

However, manoeuvres liable to hinder other drivers, such more than one change of direction to defend a position, deliberate crowding of a car beyond the edge of the track or any other abnormal change of direction, are strictly prohibited.

Seems pretty clear to me that what Hamo did was as stupid and amatuerish as something i would do at the local go-kart track. The guy is more and more looking to be a great talent, but at the minute I would have to say the likes of Vettel and Kubica are maturing quicker then him, though they have not had the car and success that Hamo has.

A warning was the correct ruling, but frankly, he robbed us of another couple of fun racing laps. Remember Malaysia last year, Hamo and Webber? That was great racing and entertainment as they for 2-3 laps got past one another only for counter attacks to once again relegate them after compromised exits etc. Hamo just couldnt handle his amazing progress to that point being interruped by a rookie in a Renault so threw his dummy out the car and drove like a child.

LOL, above is harsh but generally true. Hamo is nowhere near as annoying as he used to be, but these sorts of things are the reason why i remember why i am not a fan

However, manoeuvres liable to hinder other drivers..... deliberate crowding of a car beyond the edge of the track ..... are strictly prohibited.

Come on Troy - how many times have you seen that happen & go unpunished? It is Webber's stock move most of the time & the rest of the field for that matter.

Thats a tougher one. With visibility what it is i think you have to give a little slack on the first lap until people work out who is where. But agree, it happens more often...but i dont think Webber and Kimi at Brazil is an example. Webber was moving over to the inside line and Kimi thought he would keep going to try and kers through to make a gap.

Funny, the most recent examples of crowding is Hamo at Monza in the wet in 2008. I am sure it has happened dozens of times between then and now and my bias has me remembering those incidents. But that was the more deliberate and intenational examples.

whatever happened to these sub 2 second pit stops red bull were claiming? they're no faster than anybody else

so why make the claim in the first place?

Maybe if they got Kimi in there for 2011, and return the fun to the team, they might turn back into 'that team' with the great parties and so and so. Their current duo dont seem to make everybody laugh and divide opinion like the iceman did.

I will be real curious to see if RBR are interested in Kimi. Webber would have to be mindful of not having a contract for next year in 2010s best car (so far)

I think Kimi is phenomenal, but i think he has hurt himself as he is more the pre 90s F1 driver. Living the good life, getting paid serious bank and only really drives the car. He isnt the " i will be oint eh factory for the 10days between GPs working with engineers type. It will be interesting to see if RBR are happy with Vettel developing the thing and then Kimi and Vettel racing them!?!??!

Every team is due for a bad car every few seasons, but whilst Kimi drove the wheels off a shitty Ferrari last year, i cant help but blame the fact for it being shitty in the first place on poor feedback from Kimi and Massa through 2008 and in testing 2009

lol, didn't take kimi long to fk years of punishing fitness regimes at the hands of his F1 masters. god I love him. he'd be even more likeable as a fat kunt.

I will spit chips if he takes webber seat though. I don't think it will happen but anything's possible.

whatever happened to these sub 2 second pit stops red bull were claiming? they're no faster than anybody else

yes the claim does seem a bit silly but I believe what they meant was actually changing the tyres takes less than 3 seconds - ie the car is already up on jacks it's purely the remove/refit operation.

As bad as that Buemi crash was..... did anyone else find it a little bit funny that he was trying to steer without any front wheels? lulz.

What a massive failure in the front end though! Very lucky that he wasnt injured. Just heard on fox news that Buemi says the crash was 'nothing serious'.... Lol WTF?

    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
    • When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
