So anybody else notice Ricciardo putting is hand up for Buemi's seat. The guy was quick on the first day and getting a tad quicker. Lets hope he is giving engineers good feedback and impressing enough for Marko to rethink the STR line up.

Or, perhaps with Lotus having RBR rear ends and gearboxes then maybe Lotus can be talked into benching Trulli to give the guy race miles and perhaps share some more RBR technology

Ricciardo’s best of 1m 38.102s was seven-tenths of a second quicker than Jerome D’Ambrosio in the Renault. With dry and sunny conditions, Ricciardo was able to complete 77 laps, his quickest outstripping the pole position time set by 2010 world champion Sebastian Vettel in the same car last Saturday by over a second.

I am sure he is very good but there must be more to this than what we are seeing. What tyres are they using?

2nd quickest time was Renault and even the 3rd fastest Mercedes was quicker than Vettels pole time.

Well Ricciardo is from WA. On that basis alone he is obviously massively talented. There is a lot on hype about him over this way. Deservedly so.

Hoping they put him in a TR for next year & ditch one or other of the spankers in that team. Hence in 2011 they can get a proper driver line up at Red Bull, ie Webber & Ricciardo.

could not agree more... lol.

maybe 3 man team with webber and roy in one car and ricciardo as teh number 1 driver in the other car? roy and webs to have special head to head qualy session on saturdays to see who gets to drive on race day. in case of a tie it reverts to all in brawl...

Now THAT, I like.... but surely friend, you could have thrown in a "our giant ranga mate" or a "ginga kunte" in there somewhere?!

well he's spent a few years blasting holes through the back of indian toilet bowls. so it's only natural that he's met a few Force India bigwigs in the khazi that he can chat up between battleshits?

Ferrari will doubtless poach him to replace Massa.

oh no they wont

While Alonso is sitting there, expect massa to stay or be replaced by somebody willing to play second fiddle. Not too many drivers are prepared to play 'bitch' like the brazilians have been.

wait... maybe senna is looking for a seat

    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell. 
    • Final update!!! Got the front bar fitted and sprayed and all sorted now. My cutouts worked great and the indicators aren’t just falling off. 😂  
    • Is this a brand new LSD? if so, have you followed any break/bed in procedure for it? Usually involves heaps of figure 8 patterns, a fluid flush.
    • It's TWO steering wheels actually. 😛 one for each hand They are wheels, and they steer!
