I was so happy when Vettel's engine clocked off that I could have pee'd myself

The event was extra special due to what seemed like most the engine internals making a sparky dash for freedom via the bottom of the car :worship:

Webber did himself no favours today. A little bit guted for him...but perhaps a good thing as it will no doubt galvanise him for the remaining two races...and he still has the fastest car out there.

But he should have inherited a win today and bagged a 21 point lead in the championship. The important thing is he is till in front of vettel and you have to think with only 2 GPs to go RBR will be making sure Webber is ahead of Vettel getting max points to catch Alonso

If they don't get behind webber at this stage then they are really doing everything they possibly can to lose the drivers title.

RBR getting behind Webber makes the logical choice, but I seriously doubt they will. (which I think will cost them the drivers and constructors championship)

I get the feeling they will only support Webber when it is mathematically impossible for Vettel to win the cup.

Going by the number of races left, it will be too late.

Will be interesting. If you look back on the year, Mark has had some good fortune but he has made two costly mistakes with his back flip when he should have bagged some very good points and again yesterday, his mistake looping it.

But, if RBR want to win, Vettel is now 25 points off the WDC, and with two races to go, and Massa being so strong in Brazil then you have to think a podium in Brazil will be hard to come by with Hamo, Massa, Alonso and the RBR pilots fighting for a step. So, even if Vettel wins remaining two GPs that most likely wont be enough for him to win. If Mark has two strong finishes then he is a good chance of beating Alonso...especially if they can put Vettel between Mark and Alonso

Will be interesting....but great to see Button have to hold his hand up and say I suck and will not retain my title of pretty lucky guy to have won a WDC. It is easy to be critical of the guy, but he had such a car advantage early on in the season that when he had only one of the best 3 cars he struggled and now that we have seen him alongside Hamo we see that he cant drive a car that isnt perfect, finishing well below what the car is capable of.

We decided at the pub that he should change his name to Australias Mark Webber. Come on Australias! Channel 10s coverage sh1ts me to tears!

Oh...and RBR think the drivers have to do it on their own...they have one chance and that is Brazil, you have to think Massa is going to be a strong chance to win there and that means he will be moving over for Alonso so if its a Ferrari 1-2 then RBR could be licking their wounds well before the final lap of aAbu Dhabi

    • 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.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
