doesn't matter, if Webber got pole he'd just clutch slip and be 8th at the first corner so it's probably better he start back there to keep an eye on the front runners straight up.

did anyone notice Vet's head is about half the size width wise as button/hamilton? he still has time to put on the kg I guess.

from his own mouth

Daniel Ricciardo: "It feels really nice not being on the back of the grid and finishing ahead of Tonio, which is a small target I had set myself, so I'm happy to have achieved that. But I don't want to stop there, I want to do it constantly and progress in one way or another. It's been a tough weekend having suffered some mechanical problems in yesterday's practice sessions, so we didn't get to run as much as we would have liked today. I was aware that I had to give everything I could in this qualifying session and it's really satisfying to have done a good job. Now we have to wait and see how tomorrow goes but I think we should have a good set-up because we didn't go completely aggressive in qualifying."

new boy dun good.

Can't wait for the race, every time hamilton lines up next to vettel, vettel must be wetting himself

any time anyone is within 100m of hamo on the track they are probably wetting themselves wondering when he will take them out, LOL

No offence to ricci and the HRT crew but once you hit 107% quali time why not bring it in at that point to save the tyres? They're not going to get much better except between teammates and they could have better race pace which I would think is more important....from a team point of view.

pretty sure they will still have pretty much a full range of new tyres. they only did 1 qualifying session after all, so they would've only used 2 sets of tyres at most.

i reakon it was a team thing to help get vettel to win the championship ASAP. once that's done and dusted then i think they might let mark have a chance at winning to make sure they can cement his place at number 2 in the championship (forever number 2, LOL)

just watched vettels pole lap on tv. as the dopes (presenters) mentioned, he spends a lot of time on the limiter on the first straight, and a bit on the back straight.

Didi u see the side by side laps compared with lewis? they are neck and neck and sometimes lewis in front but the second chicane is where vettel gets it

    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
