yeah I can't believe webber would intentionally position his car hoping for an accident. that's just nuts and suicidal. I doubt there is a driver on the grid who would do that. well maybe schuey would...

I'm not saying what I think he was doing. I'm just saying what I saw. He holds it on full lock to go back across the track. why? I don't know, but saying he was trying to continue racing after slapping into a concrete wall by swerving back across the track into the path of other cars makes far less sence than Berger's theory.

besides, drivers think they are bulletproof. And I think Mark has enough mongrel in him to play a bit of dirty pool when the situation calls for it.

If you look at the reverse camera angle, as in the one pointing down the track behind the cars coming out of the corner that Webz spun at. You can see that after he had hit the wall, and was rolling back, his front right wheel was inches off the ground. Maybe he did, maybe he didn't, but I think that contact donald ducked his suspension.. If so, I am curious as to why he didn't put the skids on... :)

You can stay but expect a bit of residual Hamilton is a douche sentiment around here.

Being considered a douche is a big improvement on the consensus a couple of seasons ago.

Nah everyone still thinks he's a f**king flamin mongrel.

Berger is farken clown in this case who just hasn't had his name in the press for a week!

so like... a million times this?

It's one thing I've noticed about the bugger... once every 2 months or so, go against the grain to have forums like us talk his shit up...

bo-ring...

He's just said he doesn't get to dock with Vettel anymore.

He's like Columbo (but without the charm)- Just when you think he's gone, he comes back for an unsolicited encore

I'll open the champers if he gets the A at the end of this season, and yet he'll likely still be gridding up courtesy of a bottom-feeder team come 2011

Well, not long now until practice is underway...and there are reports of rain for quali. I really think the elements mean that RBR are less likely to get the win...ans also bad news for those hoping for an engine failure for Alonso. Only good think is Webz normally pips Vettel in wet quali so here is hoping

    • 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.
    • Could be correct. Meter might be that far out. Compare against a known 5 ohm 1% resistor.
    • @Murray_Calavera  If I were an expert I wouldn't be in here looking for assistance.  I am extremely computer literate, have above average understanding on how things should be working and how they should tie together.  If I need to go to a professional tuner so be it, but I'd much rather learn and do things myself even if it means looking for some guidance along the way and blowing up a few engines. @GTSBoy  I was hoping it would be as simple as a large vacuum leak somewhere but I'm unable to find anything, all lines seem to be well capped or going where they need to be, and when removed there is vacuum felt on the tube.  It would be odd for the Haltech built in MAP to be faulty, the GTT tune I imported had it enabled from the start, I incorrectly assumed it was reading a signal from the stock MAP, but that doesn't exist.  After running a vacuum hose to the ECU the signal doesn't change more than 0.2 in either direction.   I'll probably upload a video of my settings tomorrow, as it stands I'm able to daily drive, but getting stuttering when giving it gas from idle, so pulling away from lights is a slow process of revving it up and feathering the clutch until its moving, then it will accelerate fine.  It sounds like I need to get to the bottom of the manifold pressure issue, but the ignition timing section is most intimidating to me and will probably let a pro do that part.  Tomorrow I'll try a different vacuum line to T off of, with any luck I selected one that was already bypassed during the DBW swap.  (edit: I went out and did it right now, the line I had chosen did appear to have no vacuum on it, it used to go to the front of the intake, I've now completely blocked that one off at the bracket that holds several vacuum lines by the firewall.  I T'd into the vacuum line that goes from that bracket to the vacuum pump at the front of the car, but no change in the MAP readings).  Using the new vacuum line that has obvious vacuum on the hose, im still only getting readings between -6.0 and -5.2.  I'm wondering why the ECU was detecting -5.3 when nothing was connected to the MAP nipple and ECU MAP selected as the source. @feartherb26  I do have +T in the works but wanted to wait until Spring to start with that swap since this is my good winter AWD vehicle.  When removing the butterfly, did it leave a bunch of holes in the manifold that you needed to plug?  I thought about removing it but assumed it would be a mess.   I notice no difference when capping the vacuum line to it or letting it do its thing.  This whole thing has convinced me to just get a forward facing manifold when the time comes though.
    • Update: tested my spark plugs that are supposed to be 5ohms with a 10% deviation and one gave me a 0 ohms reading and the rest were 3.9ohm<, so one bad and the others on their way out.
