Email from my wife this morning.

Oh lawd

My response:

Bahhahahahaha

I love your passion!

Her:

well its true, why would you not help out your driver that is more likely to win the championship? cause his old and they dont think he promotes the drink well enough?

well its not about the drink its about the racing......

bahahaha

Interesting point made in the story. Earlier this year at Silverstone they said if a tough decision had to be made then whoever is leading the championship would get the nod. Seems thats not the case anymore. I still think Mark can get the job done. This weekend you expect Ferrari and McLaren to be strong so Mark really needs to keep his front row form going and hope its the McLarens up there with him...or better yet Vettel try it on with Hamo on the first lap...with Hamo now with nothing to lose

Well if my theory that Webber is best in variable grip levels, where he is as good as anyone in the wet, but better then most as it starts to rain or as its drying out....then perhaps the slick, dusty and oil surface in Korea will help him where he does feel the car under him in slick conditions better then many.

Come on Mark, hope his speed in P2 carries through to the rest of the weekend

I dont get it...why with 3 GPs to go would Horner be coming out and saying this tripe ... http://en.espnf1.com/redbull/motorsport/story/31746.html ?

I think Webber is tough enough to not be concerned and get on with the job...but in a sport where inches matter and confidence / psychology are important why tip the scales????

Come on MARK! Love to see the Mclarens give Seb a chop...need to keep Massa away from the RBRs as Massa will be ruthless when racing the two RBRs

As much as I think Webber is a bit bone-headed at times, he has improved this season (aside from using Kovaleinen as a launching ramp at Valencia). If he's ever going to snatch a WDC it'll be this year and I'd like to see him do that then retire and tell Horner to stick the constructors trophy up his arse. The team have not done the right thing by him and he's still leading.

Vettel is the up and comer and needs his ego stroked - no surprises there. He is a great driver but he is still too young and petulant to deserve a WDC. Lewis just missed out on his first season and I think it matured him immensely, he came back less of a brat and more of a respectable racer and then he clinched his own title.

    • If you take the top half of the intake off you can unbolt the flap off the shaft and leave the shaft in there blocking the hole. Then you can remove the little vacuum canister off from under the manifold and get a spare vacuum line to run to the ECU. I can take some photos of it later. Probably best to get the vacuum source to the ECU sorted first though. Mine all worked mint with the base map from the GTT an I've pretty much let the closed loop sort the fueling and took 1 degree out of the whole timing map.
    • This IS something you also have to configure in Haltech (or at least I did in the past when going from onboard-to-ECU map sensor and an external MAP sensor in haltech land).
    • I'm hoping it's something as simple as the ECU is looking for an external MAP sensor, but he is trying to use the onboard MAP sensor.
    • You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?
    • Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.
