when we go to the ten broadcast, we'll see the race live but qualifying will most likely delayed.

bahrain quali starts midnight on saturday night/sunday morning. so most likely live. i'd say that quali will still be live for more prime time races too. may be proved wrong in the future though.

Bahrain is going live on one hd. When is the swap?

Who will shine in this race? Seems petronas should do well in qauli with there ducts/drs on all 3 straits

my tv guide shows channel 10 as the one playing bahrain

Ferrari total 37

Nando 37

Massa 0... :ermm:

what gets better is that he averages a quali result of 13th

but finishes an average of 15th

so its not like he's just having s bad quali and making up for it, he actually going backwards so far

this guy is so gone in 2013 i would bet my house

my tv guide shows channel 10 as the one playing bahrain

since it'll be 10 digital, it should still be HD, yeah?

this guy is so gone in 2013 i would bet my house

but if he wins the championship somehow...

:rofl:

and shaun, doubt it will be in HD. don't think they broadcast any channel other than oneHD in hd, otherwise SD only set top boxes wouldn't be able to show the program

EDIT: dezz got in just before me

Somthing similar could be said about schumi

except that before the last race, it was only Schumi who had scored points for Merc this year. And had consistently outqualified Nico in the first 2 races. Even with Nico's freak pole at his favourite track, Schuey is still leading him in the qualifying comparison, averaging 3rd whereas Nico averages 5th.

And until this race it was Schuey who gave Merc both its best grid position and race result over the last 2 years.

So exactly like Massa, except in every possible way...

yes, the Schu v2.0 continues to suck on Sundays

yeah, Schuey sucks by having a gearbox fail after a handful of laps in the first race of the season, being punted on lap 1 by Grosjean who had NFI what was going on, and having a wheel not tightened in a pit stop. Man Schuey sucks...

Talk about taking things out of context guy.

let me replay it for you... emphasis mine.

I hope it does

Will more than likely push ferrari further down the WCC order with their distict (sic) lack of point scoring ability

and hip-hip-horay for that

So I guess good news for webber in that he was mores comfortable with this layout than the first.

And lol at helmuts comments about webs.

"Red Bull will continue to develop the exhaust system used on Mark Webber's car at the Chinese Grand Prix despite Sebastian Vettel's preference for a different design.

After the Chinese Grand Prix, Vettel said: "It was an interesting weekend, we collected a lot of data on different cars but ended up more or less in the same place [fourth and fifth], which was pretty funny. I think both packages have their advantages but for next week we will see what we do."

Red Bull advisor Dr Helmut Marko told Servus TV on Tuesday: "We will go on with the Mark Webber car."

As for why Webber feels more comfortable in the updated car, Marko added: "Mark is less sensitive to the [car's] behaviour. He just needs four wheels, but it's different for Vettel."

    • Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that 
    • Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

    • What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
    • While I was waiting for the new parts to come in for the charge pipe and radiator I decided to do some turbo modification. The drive pressure (exhaust backpressure) was a lot higher that I thought it should be. For 32lbs of boost drive was 55lbs. The turbine housing is a 1.10AR and my turbo builder has suggested to go to a 1.25AR. To test if a larger AR would do anything to reduce drive pressure AND not spend any money I decided to hog out the divider in my current housing. I removed it from the inlet and the whole way through the housing.  After reassembly and testing it doesn't look like this modification did anything for reducing drive pressure or requiring more fuel (making more power). Oh well, it was worth a shot. We'll get some data at the track if it makes it past the 60ft. I also machined a $7 shift knob off Amazon to fit my Stillway shifter since I didn't like the Stillway shift knob. Next on the list was the radiator replacement and fabrication of a new intercooler tube that had no silicon coupler. No pictures of this - I was short on time each night after work to get this done and didn't stop to take pictures.  Next was to get the clutch disks out and replaced. Previously when installing the dogbox I had ordered a set of the same sintered iron disks I had been running because I switched to the 26-spline input shaft. I thought it was odd that they didn't have any markings or brand name on them like all my old disks had but installed them anyway. At the track I could not get the clutch to lock up using my normal strategies. After two track nights I reached out to the clutch manufacturer and ask their thoughts. They said they had to switch the material out because they were having trouble getting the original material and that this new material would not take to being slipped very well.  So out with the first set of 26-spline disks and in with the correct material 26-spline disks. While I had the trans out I added an inspection/service hole. I've wanted one of these for a while. Now I can have a look at things and change the front cover shimming when needed (clutch wear). I hustled and got the clutch change done in a few hours on a Saturday. Hopped in the car and drove home. On the way home I did a 1-3 pull. When shifting from 2nd to 3rd the core plug in the back of the cylinder head popped out and dumped all the coolant. Thankfully I was only 30 seconds from home and coasted it there. Datalog showed nothing unusual and 2.5psi of coolant pressure. That plug has been in there since 1992 but I guess it worked its way out. Pulled the trans AGAIN and replaced the plug, JB welded it in, and made a brace. Also deleted the head drain I had added in during the bearing issue fiasco.  I am currently changing my boost control plumbing to make it cleaner. After that is done I'll make another attempt at getting past the 60.
