Its 2010 again when after Silverstone there was talk that Webber was off to Ferrari. I doubt it but would be a cool way to finish up your F1 career

imagine if webber did go to the fez. would lead to possibly the best team mate racing in F1 for a long time. i don't think the team bosses would like a repeat of Eau Rouge from last season though

anyway, back in 2012

Mclaren have tried to secretly test a new nose in Mugello

Oddly, they only used it for in and out laps, in the hope nobdy would notice. Theres absolutely no mention of it on technical forums or websites, which is strange as its a decent change in philosophy for front end aero.

Left is old, right is new

Oh the noise up that famous hill.....

And the old layout seems more of an adventure. Gutted it changed before I got there

Webber has always gone well up against Vettel in Spain. Here is to hoping he can edge Vettel and others out and start a nice little patch of victories and podiums. I am tipping RBR this weekend to be strong along with Lotus...McLaren will struggle again is my tip

the new nose gives me the impression that it may have a bit of flex to it. probably won't, but for some reason that curved look just makes me think of flex

    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not  
    • GT-R clearly the better choice! The 300 is certainly not insaly fast but has a decent amount of poke. Does a nice little drift around the corners with a decent amount of throttle. It's VERY predictable in a slide too.  Feels so progressive! People probably presume there's a 25 year old driving it based on my behaviour this week! 🤣
    • Yeah Jap import. Fairlady Z then! I'm a bit the same.  They've been on my radar for a fair while but then just impulsively decided to buy one!  Was going to just buy an NA and add turbos to it later but decided to save the f'ing around and just buy the turbo version. 
    • Thanks mate, well done to you too! Yeah not looking forward to doing any major work to it!
