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... :)

    • bumping this post as im still having dramas, my fuel pick up is sitting on the bottom of the tank, my pump gets a constant 13 volts through a relay, my fuel pressure holds consistently without fluttering or dropping, yet as soon as im near half a tank of fuel my car starts fuel starving and leaning out, it cant be due to g force as it never pulls hard enough before it starts breaking up, any help would be much appreciated 
    • Just a thought, was that car and auto at any point of its life? If so, maybe whoever bridged the inhibitor switch/circuit did a not so good job.
    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
