No way Newey will go to Ferrari.

I cant remember the ins and outs of it but Ferrari had problems back in the day with John Barnard not wanting to move to Italy so set up a design office in UK meaning didnt have to spend all his time in Italy. They made it work but I read Todt scrapped it and in came Brawn/Byrne and Ferrari abandoned the idea of decentralised design. I suppose you can never say never...but Newey didnt like the curtains and McLaren I dont think he would like them at Ferrari.

After all it was DC that talked him into meeting with Horner and RBR and told him that their approach would give him the required freedoms within the team and outside of work. I just cant see him leaving RBR unless Horner and other major changes are made to the detriment of the team. Not something that Red Bull will do since they are now the most profitable energy drink manufacturer so would be silly to mess with their most successful brand recognition tool

No way Newey will go to Ferrari.

I cant remember the ins and outs of it but Ferrari had problems back in the day at first with Rory Byrne/John Barnard/Brawn etc having to set up a design office in UK s they didnt want to be spending all their time in Italy. They made it work but I read wouldnt happen post Todt leaving the team. I suppose you can never say never...but Newey didnt like the curtains and McLaren I dont think he would like them at Ferrari.

It was Barnard and the GTO - Guilford Technical Ofice.

Unless Alonso is set to retire some time soon I dont understand why Ferrari would bother with Vettel unless it is to unsettle/deprive RedBull of his services. There really arent that many top line drivers racing right now - Hamilton, Alonso, Vettel, Kimi (Maybe).

Felipe Massa has signed a new one-year deal with Ferrari, the Italian team have confirmed.

The Brazilian's future at Ferrari has been the subject of great speculation throughout the season, with a poor start to the campaign appearing as if it may cost him his seat.

However, a resurgence that has seen him finish in the top five in four of the last five races - including a second place finish in Japan - appears to have been enough to secure his spot with the Maranello outfit.

"Scuderia Ferrari announces it has renewed its contract with the driver Felipe Massa to the end of the 2013 race season," the team said in a statement.

"The Scuderia's driver line-up for next year is therefore made up of Fernando Alonso and the aforementioned Felipe Massa."

Massa admitted his delight at signing the deal and committed himself to the cause.

"Ferrari is my sports family. First, I want to thank President Montezemolo and (team principal) Stefano Domenicali, who gave me confidence which I have always maintained, even in the most difficult moments," said the 31-year-old.

"Both the team and the fans can be assured I will do all that is in my power to help the Scuderia to achieve the goals that arise every year."

"Both the team and the fans can be assured I will do all that is in my power to help the Scuderia to achieve the goals that arise every year."

If he means driving around the track out of the points then he is going to have to find something at the start of the season and maintain it. If he is talking about unbuckling his pants every time he is front or faster than Nando then he has that covered already.

So much Massa hate. His form in the last few races is the guy we saw alongside Schuey in his final year and alongside Kimi. Nowhere near he talent of Hamilton but i tell you what his behavior in the hours of thinking he had won then realising he had lost to Lewis was showed the character of a champion! The way Lewis throws his toys out the pram every few weeks and plays victim shows he isnt able to stand up and be counted as a man let alone a champion.

Read his latest twitter outburst having a sook that Button had un-followed him and people are abandoning him...only to find out later that Button had never followed him so stop being a paranoid, bitchy sook. So many examples of sooky, bitchy selfish, me-me-me behaviour. His trip over his dick losing places to Vettel and co in the fial stint to lose the WDC only to have Glock lose tyre temp and give Lewis the WDC i

taint the sports prestige by having won a championship

Joe Saward is still of the opinion that Webber will be at Ferrari in 2014. I can see Webber being willing but dont see a Ferrari need for him. Plenty fo other capable guys to drive alongside Alonso until Alonso retires. Guys like Hulk, Rosberg etc get a chance in a top car if they shine then great...if not when Alonso retires hunt for Vettel in 2017 if some other hotshot hasnt come along in the meantime

I'd like to see Webber in a Ferrari. I think he made the wrong choice.

Sadly I think he is never going to win a WDC - so the next best thing is surely to have driven for the prancing horse!

weber wouldnt move to Italy to live as he has he home set up just down the road fro the RBR factory and the pub he owns there also. He likes the place too much. Maybe when he retires i can see him in a management or technical type role with RBR too

There is no Massa hate. Just calling it like it is, he has been struggling at Ferrari for a while.

Although if you want to compare him to LH then Massa is a rank amateur at being a whining bitch. He is hanging on to his F1 drive by they skin of his teeth just like his Brazillian compatriot Barrichello did. A shame given that Kamikaze will probably be without a drive next year.

The lack of testing is allowing some drivers to continue long past their use by date.

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
