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?

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.

      I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.

      Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...

      Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
