Enlightening. Massa is NOT HAPPY about what happened tonight.

Interesting point re: RBR - if preference goes to the one highest in the championship, what's going to happen now they're on equal points? I'm tipping it will be alphabetically by last name.

Have you also sat at Eau Rouge? I'd like to hear a comparison from someone who's seen both.

I'm not denying Turn 8 is a great corner, but I stand by my claim that Eau Rogue is more spectacular to watch and a bigger challenge for the drivers.

I think it used to be a challenge but not so much anymore, its massive incline is what makes it scary. Height variations have always been exciting to watch, laguna seca is one example

Dont underestimate how much turn 8 undulates. Tv does these things no justice.

I will go to Spa though. Not soon, but it will happen

Well if Horner and teams start crying to the FIA I would not be surprised if Alonso is stripped of points. The language used after the pass support it was a team order. Interesting times

As for incline...man i dont know, walking up Eau Rouge wears you out....driving through it doing about 190-200km/h is a buzz. I have never seen an F1 car go through there but GT1 cars were cool! And as cool as Eau Rouge is, Pouhon is a mighty corner and equally as cool to watch F1 cars go through

Oh man, i just realised it is 12 months tomorrow since i did the two days driving at Spa....FARK how the last 12 months have flown :(

oh...and that driver briefing was a tad embarrassing for Alonso and Massa

Well that was a terrible race. Why is it the ones that Ferrari wins are boring? :(

Loved seeing Massa's body language after the race. Boy was he pissed! Rightfully so, and his comments will obviously get the FIA digging deeper into the issue.

Webber's still ahead of vetool according to the FIA as he has more wins this season.

between flexible wings and team orders, looks like the old fuzz are back!

be very disappointed if a monetary penalty is enforced. They never deter the big spenders (unless it gets taken out of a spending cap type scenario in the future) and it sets a bad precedent. Why even bother having the rule?

rumours are force india may be excluded for fitting the wrong tyres to their cars... for one lap... before they rectified it at their own expense

and here the fuzz are found guilty of cheating and this is what they get?

WMSC smashed mclaren in 08, we'll see if they have the same amount of balls in this case

Is it team orders when drivers are advised to hold station and not challenge their team mate?

On more than one occasion this year we have seen cryptic orders given to drivers from more than just Ferrari telling them that "their team mate is quicker" or time to "conserve fuel" when it seems they were pressing for position.

It is rife in F1 and it always will, the difference is Ferrari made it obvious this weekend.

It sucks but that is the game.

Spot on, it happens all the time, people are just having their usual whinge because it was Ferrari this time.

      Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
