lol, leave the polish alone brisby. we don't have much to cheer about!

yeah DRS at the exit of radillion will mean some nice overtaking into les combes...

not sure it matters having the DRS detection before eau rouge as they are flat from la source all the way to eau rouge, up the hill and out the other side at radillon and all the way to les combes. so no one is passing anyone into eau rogue or through eau rogue for that matter unless we are talking RBR on a 2002 minardi...

kubica has more scheduled surgery this month, so he probably won't be back this year.

i'm in good spirits about spa, with all the updates the teams are bringing it will be good.

I sincerely doubt Kubica will ever be back. It's very rare for a driver to come back after such a severe injury, or to be competitive if he does. I genuinely hope I'm wrong, I like him, but I'll believe it when I see it.

its held every year. they invite drivers from various disciplines - rally, F1, touring cars etc to compete on a mickey-mouse indoor track like a scaled down WRC Super special stage with various buggies and weird open wheelers like KTM X-bow.

What does Aus have to do to get an invite, with Dan and Webz would be good to see them fly the colours....though with the likes of Power, Briscoe etc seems odd we dont get to run....years ago Ireland got a spot ffs

Oh, and IMO Spa doesnt need DRS. They are such long straights that if your tyres are two laps older I think they are going to struggle to defend position into Les Combes and after the blast up through Blanchimont and into the chicane, hell if Baron can overtake GT3s in a lowly Exige at that part of the track then maybe Vettel can do it this year without punting someone :)

Seriously, someone kill me....."stars"....like wtf. :yucky:

the guy that plays "McDreamy" on greys anatomy races in the american le mans series.

did remind me of when back in the day (mid to late 90's) one of the f1 teams (can't remember which) let mick doohen have a run in one of their cars. pretty sure that his top speed at the speed trap end of the straight was faster than the regular drivers. have to see if i can find the article in the magazine.

you missed

Tom Cruise - producer and star of mission impossible gp - which opens on December 21, took a break from post-production work to accept an invitation to test drive the Red Bull Racing Formula One car in Southern California on Monday, August 15. David Coulthard, a 13-time grand prix winner and former Red Bull Racing driver, served as Cruise’s instructor for the day with support from a 12-person crew, who flew in from Milton Keynes.

    • Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies. 
    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
