Indeed. Cursed linear time ...

but anywho, a 10 place grid penalty for Spa is more detrimental to him than being flagged out of a race he was about to take no points from anyway :whistling:

Might go and throw a lobster on Capt Chin to take out the title....

if I can get 10:1 odds I will be a happy man.

down to $2 now i think... for now

Wife is pissed about losing the first house, not making that mistake again!

My throw the shirt off my back at Jenson going back to back....

Better odds then "OUR" favourite door closer getting a win!

I will still back Schui for a podium this year

Can you just imagine it? Webber *accidentally* clips Vettel, Vettel goes ape-poo, a punch-on breaks out resulting in Vettel going off the balcony WWE-style.

I can see it now, in the media report following the said punch-on, Vettel would issue a statement saying he should have won the fight.

well Vettel has come out in the interview saying it was his race, he should have won and he has been quickest the whole weekend specifically against Webber.

probably wrong but I thought Webber was quicker than Vettel all the way until Q3...so really he wasn't quicker except Q3 and the 'fastest lap' title in the race was a bit of a joke since he simply aimed for a fastest lap.

i'd expect the FIA will very soon clarify exactly how much, let's say- 'operational front aerofoil deflection' is permissable ahead of the Belgian GP

if the rubbery wings are deemed kosher, i'd suppose McLaren will follow suit, and if not, the Fezz and RBR will have to ammend the rigidity of theirs

getting excited about monza GP now. finally bought my tickets the other day so it's now all 100% sorted. I will be driving the nurburgring nordshliefe on the saturday so I'll miss qualy but belting around the ring in a track spec M3 on semi-slicks is too good to miss, then I fly out to milan at 5am on sunday arrive about 6:30am and drive out to monza. :woot: It will be super cool if webber can get a win. I've never seen him win a race in person and would love to see it while I can. Either that or a ferrari win. not long to go now....

Nice. I was staring at the F1 website the other night...thinking Singapoe = "NOPE". But Japan or Brazil would be cool. Same old same old though, will need to be a crime of opportunity with a work related window opening up. Italian GP could be a goer too...just under GBP400 LOL 2010 will be remembered as the year that promised sooo much and turned out to be a farking DUD! Fancy having the option of going to Hungary or come back to Aus to do track days and miss all of them because your leave was cancelled :woot:

yeah that sucks mate. come do italy with me if you can. monza is a rubbish race to watch on TV so it certainly can't be any worse to watch in real life! Should be a good atmosphere at least with all the Tifosi around and I will be wearing my minardi webber hat and hoping for a webber win.

Brazil would be awesome I reckon. I very nearly booked a last minute effort to get there when schuey announced his retirement that year. It has some pretty cool corners at the atmosphere there would be pretty unique to say the least.

lol, being the servent of those who live the good life does have its advantages........

congratulations guys on being able to make these opportunities for yourselves........you make me sick lol.

Hey Baron do you need help to carry your bags or maybe check tyre pressures on the Beemer?

lol, I need all the help I can get! I'm doing the M3 for day 2, day 1 I'm still tossing up between a worked 80s alfa 75 track car (3L V6, cage, semi's etc) or a Renault Clio R26R with semis etc too. the clio probably faster but FWD though perhaps for the first day on the ring that will be a good thing.

Cool are WE flying business class??

Would it help if I put your decision into perspective?

Alfa 75 = MILF with all the trimmings, tight bod, good grip with a rear end bias.

Renault Clio = 18 yr old also with an appropriate age related tighter bod, slightly front heavy (puberty is a marvelous thing these day) but rear end wiggles when you lift off.

Alfa = Renault = Happy times.

    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
