SebVet found a "hack" in his chassis mid season last year. He sooked until he got a new one.

exactly. then mark took it and won monaco with it.... yeah what a hack... :unsure:

ease up on the webber. he tries his best and it must take some toughness just to be able to go out with a good attitude every race considering everything in the team is set up to favour vettel. the fact that he beats vettel something close to half the time they race tells us he's a long way from being a hack. he also smashed rosberg when they drove together and now look at what rosberg is doing to schuey.

Yes but Schumacher is an old coot, a talented driver with a difficult personality who unfortunately owes most of his titles to ross brawn, ferrari superiority and rubens' contract rather than his raw talent. I am very glad rosberg consistently beats him, and it was upsetting to see rosberg taken out and miss out on gaining some points on his team-mate.

I do agree though, it must be hard some mornings to be Webber, but he does often act very aggressively towards vettel, though I guess I would too if some punk was getting favoured and I was the unluckiest driver in f1.

but is he jawsome enough to ever snaffle a WDC?

tough call. I would like to think so, but I'm man enough to admit I may be a bit one eyed when it comes to webber. he was bloody close last year and led the WDC for more than any other driver but wasn't leading at the one point it counts. can he do that again? can't see why not, only this time It'd be nice for him to stay in front for a few more events and take the prize.

anyway, we'll see. many, many people said he would never win a race and yet he won enough last year to keep my TAB account in the black and keep himself up front for the whole season (pretty much). so sure plenty of so called pundits reckon he will never be WDC but fact is those same people said he'd never even fit in an F1 car let alone with races in them.

Well, whilst I am a Webber fan, I am still a motorsport fan and I think/hope I understand the difference between my favourite driver and the best driver. That said, I do not believe Vettel is that better then Webber and the things I am reading with regards to car problems, in particular its a damaged front wing which was not identified until after the race....well, it goes a long way to explaining his lack of pace on the weekend.

I am still a believer that he manages his car better then Vettel over a race...so if I am wrong on that count then he will be nowhere for the rest of the year

Alonso is no sap though, he's one of the best drivers on the grid.

I feel sorry for Perez, no performance advantage and the driver's earned their results, why couldn't they get a fine instead?

Meanwhile, in recent news, Ford is encouraging Nissan to take up arms against Renault, who recklessly and maliciously used the name R31 this year on their f1 car. What has the world come to.

      Did tie rods. Steering now not "springing" back.

      No. GKTech arms have spherical bearings in them. No bushes. You will not need bushes for those arms. The sphericals are a bit of a maintenance nightmare. I have replaced all of mine several times in the 5 or so years I've had them, and I have the arms out regularly to clean and lube the balls. Worth the pain on an R32, because the standard arm design is trash. If you need the camber adjustment, there are other options (than the GKTech ones), although I would still lean towards and prefer the GKTech ones, even with the maintenance load of the sphericals. The caster adjustment is also highly valuable, allowing for setting the car up to drive straight. There are a million options for these, including the GKTech ones. I've had Tein rods on mine for 20 years and the balls are much less trouble in that location. Never given me a moment's pain. All positives, no negatives. I consider them compulsory.

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By silviaz · Posted

      Thanks for all that information I appreciate it. To answer your questions: - Yep that's what I mean. These guys are professional painters to so I must be missing something. It's a bit hard to explain. - With the primer landing on clearcoat, I make sure that the surrounding clearcoat is scuffed to 240 grit as my epoxy primer says that I only need to sand the area to 240 grit. - Yeah so similar to the first question, assuming that the paint landed on the unscuffed clearcoat because I've seen that happen. - Yep I want to prep the surface in that order. Only reason because epoxy primer will protect it from rust and I need that atm with this crappy Sydney weather. I think I was worried about time, if I try to put the filler down but screw it up somehow and I don't have time to sand it off and reapply it then need to put primer later that it might start to rust again so I wanted to apply the primer as quick as possible to not deal with rust.  - I just deleted some answers, I just realised after watching a video and what you said about looking at the data sheet, that I need to read the data sheet on the specific filler I'm using. It's possible now that I put epoxy primer first was a waste of time and need to go to bare metal lol

      I did. I went to a suspension guy and he told me because I don't have adjustable camber arms it's the reason why my car veers towards the left if I take my hands off the wheel but if I drive my other every day car and take my hands off the steering wheel it goes completely straight. I think it's common with Skyline's. In order to fix the problem, I likely need gktech camber arms then nismo bushes since I have poly bushes atm, then a wheel alignment after that. With my car if I take my hands off the steering wheel on a really bumpy road before stopping at a light I have to hold my steering wheel somewhat tight otherwise my car will legit just go completely in the other direction quite quickly and I'll slam into something lol instead of stopping straight. I Believe this YouTuber had the same issue and fixed it with gktech arms. At timestmap 6:05 he talks about how the car doesn't veer anymore after installing these arms.
