lets not forget that we are talking about a championship and not 1 race.....its all fair that all credit goes to webber and his team for that maiden victory......he drove brilliantly in that race and i accept that.....but just winning one race in a whole championship doesnt make your a world champion....simple as that and i still think that he has a really long way to go in regards to winning the world title.....

You may have been talking about championships but I wasn't, I was only referring to his race wins. Plenty of people have come and gone in F1 without managing that, so it's something to be proud of.

Let's wait and see how he goes this year. He has a real chance if testing is anything to go by, the car looks like a race winner. But you know what they say, when the flag drops the bulls**t stops.

Don't write him off yet, that's all I'm saying.

LOL! Once again confirming his wanker status!

hehe foot in mouth much? if it were so easy, he'd have his championship by now (as someone already mentioned...)

what a dork

-D

He might never win a championship but we will support him regardless cos he is 'stralian! :D

spot on Ben and f**king awesome find Steve......bring on the races, as i cannot wait to see the prancing dark horse again......:laugh:

No real surprise to me to see Vettel get pole and for both Ferrari's to be genuine contenders. Can't wait to see how the race pans out in regards to tyre compounds and their use/abuse cause I have a feeling that those that (can) look after their tyres early will be on the podium.

lol say what? i agree with what he's saying. bring back the clutch :(

whats wrong with the driver wanting it to be more of a battle with drivers as apposed to which team pumps the most $ in

Haha yeah - but all honesty - never mind the clutch - bring back the fuel stops!! lol

I'm not a massive F1 fan but a lot of my close mates are and I get told about it whether I give a shit or not. Unlike most in this thread I support Webber simply because he is Australian and from the little I know of the guy he seems like an ok bloke - unlike other drivers in F1.

However 2010 held some interest for me as Lotus was back, Michael Schu was back, Webber might be in a decent car, etc etc. So I watched the race... and it was another typical boring F1 race. :cheers:

I'll stick with WRC. Way more exciting with much more variety in everything bar manufacturers now.

It was way more boring than normal due to the gay new no refuelling rule lol

wow, what a fail of a race... omg, could the no re-fueling rule have made it any more boring??? about 70% of the commentary was about "protecting tyres".... and probably because 95% of the race was about "protecting tyres" with the other 5% being cars just failing

oh, and webber failing... a 1s a lap faster car yet he still cant overtake, sad, sad times!

least it looks like ferrari vs red bull for most of the year =) cept RBRs reliability will cost them just enough to not win anything

    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
    • Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.
    • also possibly backed up to my filler and shat down it! 🤣
    • Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
