Yeah despite all the crap Massa cops with his poor wet weather showings, to copping a stray spring in the head, he is still driving the Ferrari so perhaps Nando's move is water off a ducks back. Although a team implosion has just shortened with the bookies.

There is no fascination here with JB missus just the thought that he knows his life is never going to get better so he will doing his bit for debauchery while the going is good.

pretty boring race. I was spewing as I had $10 on rosberg to win as he was paying 30:1. I couldn't believe it when he fell arse backward into the lead. what was everyone thinking going in so early for inters? haven't they learnt by not not to do that unless it's pissing down?

anyway, I missed my $300 on rosberg BUT I had some cash on button too and he was paying 15:1 so it all worked out ok. I couldn't believe he was at such long odds either considering he's been going well lately and had qualified ahead of hamilton. bloody vettel was 1.85:1 which was a waste of a bet so no surprise I didn't put any coin on him. webber was a bit better and I foolishly did put a few quid on him, but with button paying off I was still well in front for the weekend. the gambling is the only thing that livens up the races these days...

maybe I was just dirty cause webber and co made such a woeful tyre choice so early in the race and then spent the rest of the afternoon farking it up further. the pit stop fk-ups at redbull were diabolical.

there was lots of action I'll give you that. dunno why though I just wasn't feeling it. though I was smiling when rosberg was looking good for a win. shame he couldn't keep it on the track during that rain. if he'd been able to struggle through that he would have been hard to beat I think.

btw did anyone else get the 'crossed line' on the ITV coverage on ONE HD? it was hilarious. the bloke was talking to someone about what the commentators had been saying, and speculating about penalties etc. I have NFI how that happend?

I too couldn't believe the two ferrari's racing each other in the pit entry! that was pretty hardcore. still I guess no one wants to be the sucker queued up behind their team mate waiting for a tyre change. it was a pretty ballsy move though.

So how does everyone feel about Schumacher's return?

He's performances haven't been stellar and his team mate Rosberg is totally killing him at the moment.

Are the reflexes, drive and passion gone?

Is he taking a while to get back into the swing?

Does the car not suit his driving style?

Or is he just having bad luck?

I thought it funny that people were expecting Rosberg to be playing 2nd fiddle to Schumacher in the MercGP team. Seems the shoe is on the other foot?

    • 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.
