from the whole bullshit line redbull were trying to spin with 'new wing test wont affect us'

to seeing a front wing that does not flex at all, or even bounce around off the kerbs, id like to be the first to say... you totally changed it you liars, were all not as stupid as you think we are

awesome race. I nearly cried when webber dropped to p6 off the start. but what a result. p2 with ze-tool out of the points, button and alonso out of the points and only hamo in p1 to spoil it a bit.

2 years ago who would have thought that P2 would be considered a bit of a disappointment for a webber finish! lol, back then we were stoked to see him get some points of a top 5...

anyway, spa is awesome. can't wait to hack my way around it....

I did laugh when he took Button out.

I squealed like a little girl (inadvertantly) when it happened. I also enjoyed him tangling with backmarkers.

Hamilton must have changed his undies post race after running wide onto the gravel and kissing the wall but he had control of the race so no harm done.

I jumped to my feet and was willing Hamo into the tyres. He got LUCKY Could have been the perfect weekend for Webz if Hamo did crash out. Webz woudl have bagged the leadership with all his competitors cock ups! But Hamo deserved a bit of luck after his puncture earlier this year with a lap to go

Button has been surprisingly mute about the whole thing. Is he happy he can now blame the loss of his crown due to being taken out by a silly move at a critical round? He would have been keen to be out there in the changable conditions.

But really, Webber isnt getting beaten by Vettel too often and dont think Vettel can do much to help him out. Would be nice to see some tardy in and out laps so Webz jumps him in the pits at any upcoming races...but would rather see Webber just drive home the stake and keep putting it on pole and bringing home podiums and wins.

Monza will surely be a happy place for the Macs, Japan a sure thing for RBR. Not sure what the go in Singapore will be.

yes ze-tool proved again that whilst he can drive fast, he cannot 'race'. his overtaking moves are always over aggressive and usually only come off because the other bloke doesn't want to get taken out and lets him have the place. whenever someone decided to make him work for it (like webber did once) sure enough they get taken out. this case though was just typical poor driving. weaving around all over the place on a damp track and then just nurfed button. typical ze-tool luck sees it happen literally meters from the pit entrance so in reality he didn't lose much at all as he was able to use it as his pit-stop. fortunately with the penalty and puncture he finally got his just deserts.

he is just plain crap. I mean he ran into webber under the bloody safety car. he knows how to punch out a quick lap but that's it. he has no regard for anyone else on the track.

anyway webber did well to keep a cool head and hang in there after dropping back so far off the line. he was able to keep it clean and capitalise on mistakes all around him (kub over shooting his box, ze-tool crashing, button being crashed into) and very nearlly got the win with hamo on the gravel and kissing the barrier. 9 times out of 10 that little 'off' would result in a retirement or at least a bunch of time lost but the gods sure smiled on hamilton to get him through the gravel without getting stuck and to get him past the wall without ending up with his front left wheel buried in the tyres. very very lucky.

like roy said that would have been perfect for webs. all his top rivals with no points and him with max points from the win.

spa is such a great track. always worth watching regardless of what's happening in the race.

troy monza is going to be a webber victory! We are not going all the way to monza to see some big mac take it out. I want to see webber win so we can get loose in milan with our own 2 man tifosi style legion, marching all round the place in our corked hats and drizabone's drinking VB long necks.

RBR and the Fezz have been hobbled now they've had their cheater-wings modified

true story

You mean the wings that passed scrutineering all season?

I bet if McLaren designed them it would be called clever engineering. :D

I met a large Italian woman with a bit of a beard happening in Asciano last year Roy. I'm not saying the loving would be awesome but you will be well fed if you bag her.

So sick of Vettel and his retarded driving. Cannot abide that little cocksucker a second longer

Pretty epic piece of douchebaggery wasn't it? Again proving that Vettel can't get around someone even when they hold their line.

I did laugh when he took Button out.

As did I, I felt sorry for button falling victim to Vetool but happy that two of Webber's championship rivals had collided.

anyway webber did well to keep a cool head and hang in there after dropping back so far off the line. he was able to keep it clean and capitalise on mistakes all around him (kub over shooting his box, ze-tool crashing, button being crashed into) and very nearlly got the win with hamo on the gravel and kissing the barrier.

+1. I got so excited when Hamo went off, I thought it was going to be the perfect night for Webber, giving him a 1-race advantage over the rest. Oh well, he's still got that gap on Button and Vetool.

I am going to cross my fingers that another couple of incidents from SV and team orders might come down on him.

That would burn.

With a 1-race gap they're going to have to start thinking about it. One more DNF for Vetool and his championship is over. As it is he has to gain more than 4 points a race to beat Webber, never mind Hamilton. Even failing to make the top 5 could just about end it for him.

You mean the wings that passed scrutineering all season?

Legal is legal, never mind this "spirit of the rules" business. If they can't prove a breach of the rules then it's legal. That's the end of it. It's on the FIA to come up with a way to verify that the wings are or are not legal. They're doing so and RBR are responding. Funny, isn't it, that even though the wings aren't "flexing" any more, Webber still got pole and P1 in practice?

ok, big aussie flag. I'm onto it brother. now that webber is doing well they probably sell them on every second street corner in any town that a GP is at. back when he was a minardi driver or jag driver you'd be lucky to find a webber cap or shirt even in bloody melbourne!

definitely planning a 2 man victory march if webber can give us a win in monza. I say we head to the bookies and wager the nights drinking fund on a webber win. if he wins we now have plenty of funds to get loose. if he loses we hang our heads in shame and slink quietly out of italy.

I loved how Zetool blamed Liuzzi for his puncture when it was pretty clear that he cut him off in the passing manoeuvre.

Its really a shame, I liked the boy back in his STR days and to a degree last year, but this year its been like he has been taking the wrong pills on race day.

    • OK, Step 3, if you need to remove the valve body, either to replace it, the TCM, or to do a more complete drain.  First, you need to disconnect the TCM input wires, they are about half way up the transmission on the drivers side. One plug and the wires are out of the way, but there is also a spring clip that stops the socket from sliding back into the transmission. On my car the spring clip was easy to get, but the socket was really stuck in the o-ring of the transmission housing and took some.....persuasion. You can see both the plug to remove (first) and the spring clip (second) in this pic Incidentally, right next to the plug, you can see where the casting has allowance for a dispstick/filler which Nissan decided not to provide. there is a cap held on with a 6mm head bolt that you can remove to overfill it (AMS recommend a 1.5l overfill). Final step before the big mess, remove the speed sensor that is clipped to the valve body at the rear of the box.  Then removal of the Valve Body. For this the USDM Q50 workshop manual has a critical diagram: There are a billion bolts visible. Almost all of them do not need to be removed, just the 14 shown on the diagram. Even so, I both removed one extra, and didn't check which length bolt came from which location (more on that later....). Again it is worth undoing the 4 corners first, but leaving them a couple of turns in to hold the unit up....gravity is not your friend here and trans oil will be going everywhere. Once the corners are loose but still in remove all the other 10 bolts, then hold the valve body up with 1 hand while removing the final 4. Then, everything just comes free easily, or like in my case you start swearing because that plug is stuck in the casing. Done, the valve body and TCM are out
    • OK, so if you are either going for the bigger fluid change or are changing the valve body which includes the Transmission Control Module (TCM), first you should have both a new gasket 31397-1XJ0A and a torque wrench that can work down to 8Nm (very low, probably a 1/4 drive one). You can probably get by without either, but I really didn't want to pull it all apart together due to a leak. First, you now need that big oil pan. The transmission pan is 450 long x 350 wide, and it will probably leak on all sides, so get ready for a mess. There are 24x 6mm headed bolts holding the pan on. I undid the 2 rear corners, then screwed those bolts back in a couple of turns to let the pan go low at that end, then removed all the middle bolts on each side. Then, undo the front corner bolts slowly while holding the pan up, and 80% of the fluid will head out the rear. From there, remove the remaining bolts and the pan is off. You can see it is still dripping oil absolutely everywhere...it dripped all night.... I got another couple of litres when I removed the pan, and then another few when I removed the valve body - all up another 4l on top of the 3 already dropped in step 1.
    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
