wet night race... holy shit that wil be fun!!

oh massa, i wait with bated breath

Actually this could be bad ... There was a wet night race in motogp early this year, they had to call it off because the glare of the lights on the wet track was blinding. I don't know if the race can go ahead if it's wet

Accom is expensive in Singapore at the best of times. Its even worse on GP Week. I handed the keys back to my apartment a few months ago as it was costing me too much money, but still have friends who i can stay with. But really, you are better of just going on a bender and then sleeping at the track during the day in your grandstand seat :P Dont need accomm then :D

RBR cars seem to have shrugged off the new scrutineering tests and look quick in practice.

A bit embarrassing at McLaren if they can't match the pace of Ferrari and Redbull after talking up the unfair advantage those cars had.

It's a good thing RBR aren't "cheating" any more - think of how much they'd be flogging them by if they were ...

webber's not so crash hot either if you take into account his career in general rather than the last handful of races when he's been on form. it's pretty easy to win if your car is much faster than everyone else's and you stick it on pole. that's how massa wins races too.

I cant believe how you are all so quick to praise Vettel and write off Webber. Have we not seen enough seasons the past 15 years to realise that its 80% car and 20% driver. Finally Webber has a good car and he is doing the job. He has shown plenty of pace in the past in shit cars. Look at Button last year. Button is no better then Webber. But give him a car advantage far above what Webber has had this year for the first half of the season and everyone is quoting the fact that he is WDC.

Vettel has not really show much superior pace over Webber this year. He sure as shit has not shown superior race craft. He is quick, and probably has the talen to win 3-4 of the last 5 rounds...but Webber has shown he is driving as good as he has been the past 3-4 years, but with pace in the car, isnt so desperate with some of his dives and race moves.

COME ON WEBBER! There is a reason why he is leading the WDC and it isnt luck. Just like in years past when Button, Hamo, Hill, Schuey etc all had a car advantage... the car wins the WDC more then the driver!

Last year MW drove with a gammy leg.

This year despite some questionable strategy by RBR he is leading the WDC.

SV is a quick driver especially over one lap (hmm sounds like MW in the old days in a shitty car) but he is hardly towelling MW down this year or last. So it beats me why anyone thinks he is a better driver. I stand and point to the scoreboard this year and it says otherwise.

I disagree with Roy it is more like 90% car, 10% driver as LH proved last year by being everyone else's bitch.

Ditto. Mark has proven time and again that what he lacks in talent (if he does in fact lack talent, which I doubt), he makes up for in grit and determination, as well as keeping a cool head. I agree with what was said earlier, webber has never had the car to get decent results before. Very few drivers could have done better in the Williams and the Jaguar.

    • Hi, i’m making a rb25det coil loom for Vag short coil. Can anybody tell me which Ecu signal wire belong to coil number 1 and 2,3,4,5,6? The connecting switch in above pic is 8 wire i think white is for +12v and black for earth.
    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • 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.
