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 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.

      Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).

      Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers

      Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.

      Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
