So everyone wondering why Webber maybe lost a bit of pace towards the end of the season when before had the measure of Vettel.

Buried deep in his book Up Front, which was launched last Wednesday comes the revelation ... One can only assume Webber hasnt wanted to highlight the fact he drove in the last four races of the year with a fractured right shoulder because he didnt want to be seen to be making excuses for the way the world drivers championship slipped from his grasp in the fi nal race in Abu Dhabi.

In the book he reveals that, again, bike riding was the catalyst for the latest injury. Mountain biking with a mate while back in Australia between the Singapore and Japanese GPs, the friend crashed and Webber had nowhere to go but over the top of him, or straight between the ears of the horse as he likes to say.

Poor bugger is just bursting with cycling luck!

Bloody good excuse to stay on the couch, train by playing F1 2010 on PS3.

I can happily say that I'm ready to step in, given I've been training hard whilst all this rain is around.

Interesting...stuff paying these drivers in F1 big bucks to take part in *supposedly* one of the worlds most deadliest sports - just give them all mountain bikes ;)

Not that at all. He just couldn't bear another round of mereciless shellacking from Roy and HG after the sh!t they gave him last time.

I'll be surprised if RBR let him anywhere near a tricycle in the near future let alone a big boys mountain bike..... poor webs. I'd be a bit off it too with a fractured shoulder.

pfft. he had trouble keeping up because he is a hack, and firm #2 driver in that team.

I won't beleive the broken shoulder thing until I see an xray :P excuses from his PR company

you're a hard man duncan! it wouldn't surprise me if it were true. he's driven a whole race before having spewed in his helmet on teh wamrup lap (seemed to improve his driving too as he was 2nd when rear ended under safety car), he has driven the car whilst the bottom of the seat was scalding his arse so bad he ended up with severe burns and a few weeks lying on his chest. he's certainly driven before with a broken bone or two. webber is a pretty tough little coconut. and not really one to whinge too much.

and yet- the last death in F1 was '94

so much for all the "speed kills" propaganda we hear ad nauseum

Except Joe Commodore isnt sitting in a carbon fibre tub, with a harness/HANS, Fire proof suit etc.

Anyone have any links to the new 4 cylinder turbo rules...bring back the 1400hp 1.5L honda motors or the Ferrari V6 turbo etc, would be cool to see again.

Its also a bit of a hark back to the old days, F1 was 1500cc for a long time.

    • Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi 
    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • 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.
