the bolt heads would be sealed with tamper-proof indicators

it's not as if they just trust the teams not to open 'em up

back when it didn't matter, Ferrari used to go through around 150 engines per season...

With budgets running to hundreds of millions of dollars, counterfeiting a few stickers and/or bolts would be trivial... :O

Hmm I wonder why "high mileage" Ferrari engines don't seem to blow up... :P Just saying...

( ok I know they did blow quite a few early on in the season hence their predicament... just stirring some sh&t :) )

Red Bull's dilemma continues as Sebastian Vettel remains the man to beat on track but Mark Webber, in his own words, inconveniently has more championship points. All the evidence suggests Vettel will again be quicker than Webber in Abu Dhabi, although he has promised to do what's best for the team, which could mean ceding position to his team-mate. But if he does so, the champagne on the podium will taste incredibly bitter as he thinks back to his seven pole position that didn't result in wins, the three 1-2 victories where he led Webber and, not least, that very costly accident in the sphincter of the universe.

hmmmm... would he really do that? Is it possible that vettel isn't a massive tool?

I highly doubt it.

Im starting to get a little nervous :cool: Really looking forward to quali tonight!

I gotta say though, reading some of the tool's interviews, he keeps mentioning whats best for the 'team'

I reakon he will do the right thing if and when it is called for :)

is massa under threat for next season?

these guys keep going on about it

I can't see who would take his seat, Kubica is having Renault build their car around him, same with Vettel. Webber maybe? It would be interesting if Webber does go to Ferrari, that way we will have a yardstick to measure Vettel's talent vs Alonso.

Though, Massa's probably the kind of teammate Alonso wants, docile and whipped, unlike Hamilton. :)

Yeah the problem is he won't make the decision till the last lap, and if Alonso is right up Webber's bum it would be pointless.

I just hope nobody gets taken out... just a little *pop* from the Ferrari on lap 3 will do... :D :D Then Vettel can get the win, and Webber the WDC :cool: EDIT: nm that doesn't work

Nope, MW needs both SV and FA to finish or both to crash/stop. He will almost be cheering on SV to run first for all but the last lap and FA for 3rd or 4th place.

The only other wildcard is if LH can hold 3rd then SV is free to turn his engine into a shower of sparks.

That's what I mean, even if it was Vettel, Webber and Alonso in that order on the last lap, if Alonso is too close to Webber, Vettel can't slot in between Webber and Alonso, so it would be pointless then to try and give Webs the win.

Oops sorry, I misunderstood the meaning of "pop".

Yeah I meant a Ferrari conrod fireworks display :cool:

Ironically MW's biggest threats are his best chance if they can circulate reliably....or catastrophically crash into each other.

Unfortunately for Webs, he's more likely to be tangling with Alonso than Vettel is, based on recent performance...

EDIT: Oops I forgot, if SV wins and Alonso is out of the picture, he gets the WDC based on number of wins, not Webber... so yeah, Alonso's engine popping is not good news for Webber either... :)

    • @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.  
    • I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.  
    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
