You think vetel had any actual problems? Seems like Redbull's brand of team orders. :cheers:

Work. Hmmm I'll go in later. Hopefully nothing major goes wrong and no one notices I'm not there till early afternoon. :whistling:

If it helps, I got my 3 day general admin pass to Monza this year, from here http://italiangp.it/index.asp. Although I'm not sure if they're selling 2012 tickets just yet. Also, they only send out the tickets about a fortnight in advance of the actual race. So if you're already going to be overseas at this time, it's just something to keep in mind. Good luck. It's an incredible weekend. Oh and Webber ftw.

Whats dissappointing is that even after 19 races, the gaps between each of the front runners has remained fairly static

Bulls out in front

Mclaren challenge 50% of the time

Ferrari picking up the pieces

Mercedes bringing up the rear

9 months of knowing pretty much how the race was going to end up, short of rain. Unless somebody does something magical between now and march, im expecting next year to be a carbon copy. The in season testing ban has stopped any kind of significant performace mix betweeen teams.

If Vettel wins by some margin in Melbourne next year, i might start giving some of the races a miss next year. Monza and Valencia for example. Just have to wait it out and hope for the best with the turbo era

Every race is a bit much

I cant see why they couldnt run a few days testing after a grand prix weekend. Tracks already setup, teams are already there and fans could get tickets to it or something

Have like... 4?... of these spread evenly over the course of the year and BAM. Low cost, easily organised, everybody is happy

How fcuking hard is that?! Who need Jean Todt when im giving these pearls out for free

How did you find Monza? I thought the way the GP was run was hopeless. Wasnt great for spectating or easy to get around. And Milan was nowhere as much fun as say Budapest for nights out

It's the only GP I've been to, so I don't really have anything to compare, but I enjoyed it. I used public transport to get to and from Monza from Milan and it became a bit testing as the crowds grew. But you are right, Monza park is a massive venue and getting around can be a bit of a logistical nightmare. From a spectators point of view it was pretty poor. From any decent vantage point you could only really see a very small section of track and often without the big screens in view. And after going on to Paris after Milan it made me realise how much of a crap factory Milan was.

      S1 Autech 260RS Wiring Diagrams

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
