anyone else see the new adelaide zoo adds??? "who care about the F1 grand prix, we have pandas"!!!!! WTF, i care about the F1 a hell of a lot more than stupid pandas!!!

oh, and can we please get some dry test day... please =P

I'd be surprised if the Panda's generate economy like the F1's did. I'd happily swap Melbourne for the Panda's.

Would've been good to see some more dry test times as drivers familiarise themselves with their new cars. Seriousl can't wait for Bahrain GP!

not counting on things too early.....just eagerly anticipating it mate.....

they have done a lot of work on their 2010 cars.....and having 2 really good drivers in the team this season should see them do rather well one would hope....

Not sure about that but he does have this one

Most races before first win

Fair call. I don't think anyone would call Webber the Australian Schumacher but at least we've got a half-decent driver, aka race winner, in the field. I'm too young to remember Jones, and as for that Brabham bloke ... (I mean junior, not his three-time-champ dad).

shit if you start 130 times your bound to win at least 1 of them lol

Not true http://www.f1-facts.com/overview/person/Ade_Cesaris . 214 races and nary a win. Even good ol' Nick Heidfeld is yet to crack a win, after 169 races http://www.f1-facts.com/overview/person/NHeidfeld . Martin Brundle, Derek Warwick ... lots of people have run more races than Webber without a win. And how many people have won after a drive-through penalty? I can't think of anyone except schumacher, although I'm sure someone will correct me :-)

    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
