Well if you can't get an RBR out of Q1, even without KERS, and on the harder tire, you can't really say too much...

Exactly...they were saying that kers gives a 0.3-0.4 sec advantage on this track...webber wasn't even near that...excuses again...

So hoping Vettel doesn't just drive away again. Would be great if his kers bails and that long straight serves as a battle ground between Button and Vettel. That might be asking too much though? Do the other back-runners have kers? Are they going to launch past Webber like last week? Hopefully he recovers well, it's going to be a bad GP for him and he'll be fighting all afternoon, but i bet he'll get some points out of it, assuming no-one takes him out.

Look forward to reading about wtf happened with that tyre choice and lap time.

KERS is no excuse for being that far down the field.

i wanna see him do well....but it just keeps going backwards. I'd say if he doesn't do well this year he should/will retire......or they are deliberately making his car suck balls so he can help hold the rest of the pack back so Veetool can win easier, and to give them an excuse to ditch him next year for someone else? Barichello maybe? he likes being second fiddle to German elitists doesnt he?? :domokun:

either way...i dont see it hapeneing for Webber. maybe he needs some prettier arm candy to BOOSt his confidence?

theres already enough ballast in the drivers seat holding that car up

Bahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Poor webber, I feel sorry for him sometimes. He's certainly one of the best drivers, but he's never had luck on his side.

Redbull's now the top team, they may want someone like Di Resta, Petrov or Rosberg for some new blood in 2012. Though ferrari still stick with massa (I think webber>massa though)

Cause Weber will be holding a lot of Vettel's challengers back from 18th position on the grid. Unless he lassoos the cars in front to get a bit of a run up the straights.

WTF with Weber? wrong tyre choice,be interesting to know the real story on who made the desision. Not suprised to see KERS not working on mark but just fine on sebs, same cars my a@$

I'm mystified. The simple fact is an RB7 should be able to get into q2 on 7 cylinders, never mind hard tyres. And mark's a better driver than that ... at least, I've always thought he was. He's still the same guy that came close to winning the title last year, but I have to ask if his head's right. I wrote off Australia as a one-off, in Malaysia he was screwed by the KERS failure, but I can't think of any reason for this qualifying performance except him being out of the game mentally. He can fix it but he needs to take a good jar look at himself, I think

Webber also only managed 5 laps in P3 and only one of those was a timed lap, seems something has been up with his car all weekend he was way down in the other practise sessions as well. Whatever the cause without KERS here it will be a very long day for him.

    • So I'll put filler past the repair area a bit to make sure I don't miss anything. Then I'll block it until it's almost level, put the guidecoat, then keep blocking until it's gone. Then it's still wavy.  In regards to hitting the panel, I saw this video might give more context - Skip to 0:47 he knocks it down. But yeah I'm sanding until the guidecoat is gone then checking because otherwise my filler is still well above the bodyline. Unless what you're saying is I should put guidecoat around it early, surrounding the filler then stip once it's gone?
    • I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
    • Stop looking at the garage floor, and turn the radio up a bit louder if there's any strange noises...
    • No. Turbo shuffle and surge/flutter are not the same thing. Specifically, on a GTR, turbo shuffle has a definite meaning. On a GTR, the twin turbos are assumed to be the same thing and to operate the same way, exactly. In reality, they do not. Their exhaust sides are fed and exhaust a little differently, to each other. Their inlet sides are fed and exhausted a little differently, to each other. Consequently, when they are "working" they are often at slightly different points on the compressor map compared to each other. What this means, particularly when coming on boost, is that one of them will spool up and start producing extra flow compared to the other, which will put back pressure on that other compressor, which will push the operating point on that other compressor up (vertically). This will generally result in it bumping up against the surge line on the map, but even if it doesn't, it upsets the compressor and you get this surging shuffle back and forth between them That is "turbo shuffle" on a GTR. It is related to other flutter effects heard on other turbo systems, but it is a particular feature of the somewhat crappy outlet piping arrangement on RB26s. There are plenty of mods that have been attempted with varying levels of success. People have ground out and/or welded more material into the twin turbo pipe to try to prevent it. Extending the divider inside it works, removing material doesn't. There are aftermarket replacement twin turbo pipes available, and these exist pretty mush purely because of this shuffle problem.
    • You can temporarily* use lock collars to keep it in place until you can do the bushes, back the nuts off, slide them in, snug back up. *temporarily is often for ever
