It is just a shame that it is so biased. It would be alot better if there cars were of a more equal set up. I think it would then put the presure back on the drivers. Watching it today was a bit boring because ferrai just whopped and no one even looked close!

would have to agree with you there. a 1 horse race is extremely boring to watch (pardon the pun)

But seriously F1 without Shuemacker (I can't spell) is like basketball without Jordan! I know i lost interest once he retired...

hrm can't agree with you here ;)

jordan was an unbelievably good basketball player but he didnt break all the records. players like wilt chamberlain for instance have better stats than jordan but jordan was far better "entertainment".

i believe the F1 will live without schuey as the F1 spectacle is not purely focused on the drivers talent. people come to appreciate not only the racing but the technology, the colour, the sound, the smell and the atmosphere.

also, being a motorsport its hard not to think schuey has an unfair advantage over the rest of the drivers because his car is soo much quicker! thus it begs the question "how good is schuey?".

how about craig lowndes's move from HRT to FORD? its fair to say that he hasnt dominated aswell as he did when he was over at HRT meaning the HRT car had a slight edge over the rest of the field?

so my point is, basketball died (i feel the same way) because they lost someone who made the game come alive - he was also a great role model. with F1, they will always appreciate the other things that make the sport entertaining.

Maybe not this year but Alonso, Kimi, Webber and Button are all very good drivers who will improve rapidly over the next couple of years into drivers who will dominate F1, really MS is the better driver at the moment in the best team, he has not has the best drivers with the experience to match him for a full season, only JPM in the last 2 years has challenged him along with rubens, the others have not been in the same class. The other will get faster very quick(hopefully) and we can have a season as good as last year.

If Webber gets a competative drive (ie Williams or Renault) I think you will see some serious competition for Schuey already I think he is going to have his hands full with Alonso and Montoya. I dont know if mclaren have the package this year to take it to him judging by their abismal start.

Speaking of which how do you think Montoya is feeling after mclaren's performance yesterday? :)

It will be interesting in the next few years if michael retires will his entourage he took with him from benneton also retire!! and how will Ferrari cope with losing everyone.

Alos Ralf has apparently signed with Renault so there is now 2 seats at Williams in 05..... DC and Webber? Webber and Button? it will be interesting :)

schumaker retiring is an interesting discussion, I keep hear ppl talk about it but he always denies.

How old is he anyway? I think that because he's broken so many records that ppl assume he must be near the end of his career.....

BS franks, MS made ferrari, they wer shit when he went to them. Remember albereto, Burger and jean alesi. They wer a no where team.

Also it is interesting to wonder if or when MS retires, how will ferrari go? Do u think he would hang around and help run the team?

Finally, theres no chance DC will go to Williams again. Hes a dud driver and his time is up. I cant believe he lasted so long.

okay, my comments were fairly general :D and to a degree you're spot on. i would say though, the combination of ferrari and MS is a winning one.

    • My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.
    • Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?
    • What about if you just give it direct 12v and earth?
    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
