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!

People who haven't watched the sport for a long time don't realise that being fast over a single lap isn't the be all and end all of a formula 1 drivers talents, NPK 3 times WDC no one considers him fast...

But al those ragging on Vettel, it would not surprise me if he wins 3 or 4 of the remaining GPs. He has the car, and he has the pace...it wouldnt surprise me. In fact Vettel is more likely to win 3 of the remaining GPs then Button is to win one

Going to be interesting, really think this WDC is between Hamilton, Webber, Alonso and Vettel...that is the order I think the WDC will finish....but hope Mark can prove me wrong

It looks like the cheaters wings were cheaters wings after all.

Who will kamikaze on lap 1?

Not sure how you draw that conclusion. Ferrari and RBR were both accused of running flexi-wings. Despite the new tests there was an RBR and a Ferrari ahead of the McLarens, supposedly not using flexi-wings. And Webber is only half a second off Alonso's pole time - so where do you get the idea that the 'cheaters' have lost pace?

The relative lack of pace is where I get it from. The Ferrari's pace has improved and so has McLaren but RBR doesn't appear to have compensated yet.

I don't think it was a cheaters wing, it passed scrutineering all season so as far as I am concerned it was legal but by the same token they have changed it to meet the new test and now they are relatively slower. I am disappointed as I want MW to salvage points.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
