i spread the funds around a little this weekend then. the macs surprised me a little last weekend

30 on seb, 5 on button and 5 on the flying russian.. prob should put lewis on there too if its wet he wont waste tyres..

i hope they fixed their kers gremelins.. will have to watch fp1-3 and see how they are looking.

I was at this race and one thing that stood out is how much different sebbs car sounds to Marks.

i was in the main stand right in front of the flying renault and with the cars coming into the turn there sebs car sounded so much cleaner under acceleration. marks stuttered as he applied throttle. also he was close to taking the renault but a yellow flag into the corner stoped any chance of a run up the inside, it took the marshals friggen ages to move the car and by then his tyres were gone.

Could've been the fact that Mark's KERS wasnt working and Vettels was most of the race?

As for the stutter though who knows...

prac 1 was not pleasent viewing... for sure

Mclaren and even Merc closed in druring prac 2. Gut feeling is that both bulls will walk this one

Only hope now is that they lose some track position going from the start and hold them up for a while. History shows that inevitably one of them will snap.

Mclaren testing out all the new parts and then say they do know if they worked, is a bit amature.

Ferrari look fucked again

    • Given you're running a 2.8 and my 2.5 is not really like for like, I suspect there could be a bit more timing you could give it. What is the kW yield per degree you're putting through it? Here's my E85 map to give you an idea, where it was I could still get another 3~4kW per degree thrown at it.  
    • It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.
    • Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts. 
    • Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha
    • Not a terrible idea. But if I ever had concerns that my injectors were sufficiently dirty to be causing me a problem, they would be out of the engine and onto the actual injector cleaner/testing bench.
