Hey guys. I missed the race, know the result. How can i get a copy of the footage? Tried a number of torrents without success

Cheers

I have nearly all the races for the last six years on tape so if you PM me your address I can send you a DVD.

Gents,

Who is in for a trip to Singapore?

Names and Availability to me ASAP!

i'll be there, finally got some time off work so doing 2 weeks with the GP in the middle. i went with the 3 day premium walkabout, around $360aus i think.

in other news though, Helmut Marko the irrelevant old fool has opened his mouth again...

i cant quite get his measure, now he couldnt be that dumb.... read what he says, he seriously has no idea.

Just read this this morning - :down: What an absolute dropkick. Where would Webber be without Redbull? How about where the f*ck would Rebull be without Webber? Where do you reckon Red Bull got all their driver feedback from?

Does this man have anything useful to contribute?

hehe, just as all hope is lost i get an email saying my start date would be on 1 September in Brussels. I may make Spa yet :) Just need to agree on terms of the contract. People complain about owning a modified car here in Aus. Has anyone ever looked at registration /car ownership costs n Belgium. Talk about anti performance car....they tax you through the ass on anything over 120hp :P

Some good quotes from SebVet on crash.net:

“The team is the priority,” the 23-year-old told German magazine Der Spiegel now that another truce has been re-established, “[but] in the end the pecking order is led by the faster man. Every driver is an egotist, because you go down in F1 if you aren't. The team-mate is the first you want to beat because he has the same equipment.

“There is always a certain distance [between himself and Webber]. We work together in certain areas to bring the team forward and to further develop the car, but apart from that everyone is focussed on himself and seeks his own advantage. I have no joy in being an also-ran. I need this self-affirmation that I am better than the others.”

Surprisingly honest. They must have edited out the bitching and whining.

    • I saw you mention this earlier and it raised a red flag, but I couldn't believe it was real. Yes, the vacuum signal should vary. It is the one and only load signal from the engine to the ECU, and it MUST vary. It is either not connected or is badly f**ked up in some way.
    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
