In the space of a race weekend when word gets out of what RBRs quali secret was Ferrari have caught up with quali pace and typically both McLaren and Ferrari have superior race pace...will be interesting if what they are saying about the difference tyre performance is true, they are predicting two stops.

RBR will have a tough run to the Abu Dabi from here...

If the race weekend goes as i predict/hope : Alonso, Vettel, Webber, Massa, Button & Homo then the points will close up at the top.

153 _ Lewis Hamilton

143 _ Jenson Button (+10)

143 _ Mark Webber (+10)

139 _ Sebastian Vettel (+14)

123 _ Fernando Alonso (+30)

096 _ Nico Rosberg (+57)

With Alonso upfront and Massa in the mix then the RBRs need to capitalise and take points from McLaren.

Roy you give me movement when you speak with such

Passion and steadfast self backing of your race results...

However you have forgotten one thing...

Well more so one person.

Michael "I don't mind closing the door on anybody" Schumacher

Put him down for P3..... Put the house on it!

You reckon....i would put money down on some desperate action up front, expecially if its dry. I expect if its wet they may take it a little easier and not punt each other out of the race... who knows. Hope its not wet, want to see hte fastest guy win tomorrow, not the fluke call of the race

So what was/is the secret? You talking about the ingenious ride height control??

Just before the British GP they talked about how RBR run a certain ignition system on the Renault engine that allows then engine to pump a similar amount of air over the blown diffuser on part and trailing throttle. This gives a consistant level of downforce and the driver confidence to push the thing to the limit. The Macs and others lacked this and is part of the reason why there blown diffusers arent working as well as RBRs. When Horner said its not just the blown diffuser, the car has been designed around it....this appears to be abig part of the whole equation.....lol or so i read :ninja:

Surely Greg Rust cannot possibly be the best man to host F1 on TV here in Australia.

Pure COCK

Listening to CH trying and slime / smooth out the Silverstone Wing-Gate makes my skin crawl.

How about just admitting you f**ked up and move on.

Learn from the mistake.

    • 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.
