I rate webber in the top 5 in F1 at the moment. (just!)

Not bad considering the high caliber of drivers in the field.

wait, are you serious? top 5?

Sebastian Vettel

Lewis Hamilton

Fernando Alonso

Michael Schumacher

Jenson Button

Robert Kubica

In no particular order, theres six random names that i would say are not just slightly better... but guys who would, have and will whoop his ass. Just because he's sitting in a fcuking missle doesnt suddenly make him a superstar.

And we're not even counting guys like Rosberg, who i believe if given the opportunity to throw around a RedBull around, would do to him what SebVet just did.

You are kidding aren't you?

Schumacher is so far past it he can barely remember what it was. He regularly gets hosed by Rosberg.

Button gets hosed by Hamilton & almost everyone else.

Kubica has half an arm missing.

Webber gets done in qualifying basically because he is too heavy. Hopefully this year the rules changes make the drivers weight less of an issue. In any case Vettel is a bag of feathers so who really cares.

won't be making it over this year.

GT series not running so no free accommodation, tickets ect >_<

been keeping an eye on the F1 tipping sites, might set an SAU one upwhen the sites are updated for '11

Id be in for that

So i've put a twenty down with my mate that webber makes a horrible start off the grid for the season opener. Have great seats to watch that shit go down too!

Damn bahrain holding everybody up with their crappy country. We could have been racing this weekend in Melbourne!! Not exactly the weather for it though, but how good is a wet race around here!! Massa into all the walls and other cars, that shits funny as hell

thank god someone mentioned it. the difference between vet and webber is easily put down to the weight penalty webber carries. it's probably less that meaning that if the weights were equal webber would have most often qualified in front of vettel. think of all those sessions where it was a bees dick between them. like a few hundredths of a second. and then remember webber carries more weight every lap he's out there.

dundan! you're a bitter old bastard these days. webbers a champ. I'd like to think I' enjoy watching him regardless of where he's from. but the fact is he is an aussie and a good bloke and he can steer. :)

    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.
