Hey, piss off! Chokehold is a bit of a fav of mine. He is on ESPN Star Sport a lot and he is a great guy, real car geek...and this hack of a bloke next to him who is "my nephew is so shit he needs me to start pumping his tyres full of hot air 10 years before he is even close to an F1 drive"

He has gone ok this year...all up I think he is done more then Di Gassi and Bullseye Senna

Well it looks as thought Ferrare have jumped the Macs for this race and Red Bull are still around the front two rows.

One thing is traffic at that place is shocking. The final times for the session were a little mixed because cars kept hitting traffic, but the Fezz and RBR all seemed to get 6 or so laps out of their softs in the 1:16-1:15 range.

Can't want for quali.....it looks like this track will be hard for overtaking but will be a close weekend

Vettel and Alonso are a class apart at present. Has anyone got anything in reserve for Q2 & Q3. Cant see Webz being quick enough in the first sector, he has been a few tenths off Vettel all weekend. Biggest casual gap i have observed between the two all year

Casual gap?

RBRs were on the hards and Alonso on the softs. Well thats what i could gather,. ESPN never tell you and its sometimes hard to pick up on screen

Great to see Williams in the top 10 and Rubens 6th! Interesting to see if RBR can lift the pace on the softs. At present Webz will be struggling to get on the front row....has not been able to turn the tyres on and seems to need the extra lap to get the time...

    • 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.
    • 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.
