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.

      r34's love to squeal

      By Nizzy_R34 · Posted

      just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.

      My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.

      To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?

      So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
