was expecting them to have folded by now

when was the last time anyone was seen using one (apart from, very overtly, Lewis in those promo pics)

Guess you haven't been following tech news?

They're trying to come back and investing heaps into their new phone(Has been a long time coming) which was just released in the UK, I believe.

With the current fall of apple, companies are trying to steal "back" the share of the market that was lost to apple in the first place.

I agree with the gold comment earlier.

I've never liked it.

Nico Rosberg says he had a "good feeling" about his W04 right up until an electrical problem caused the car to stop.

Driving Mercedes' new car on the very first day of pre-season testing, Rosberg's running came to an end in a fiery manner after just 11 laps.

The German came to a halt out on track during the morning's session with unburnt fuel in the exhausts igniting resulting in flames briefly licking the rear right of the car.

With a fault in a wiring loom deemed to be the cause, Mercedes called it quits for the day in order to make the necessary repairs.

But despite only having a brief run on Tuesday, Rosberg is feeling positive about his new challenger.

"At the start of winter testing, you often encounter small issues because the car you're running is a brand new design," said the German.

"We had an electrical problem this morning and, once we had found the root cause, chose to modify the parts to make sure it didn't happen again.

"Of course, at this time of year all you want to do is spend time in the car and get a feeling for how it's working, but these hiccups are just part of the game.

"During the laps I completed this morning, I had a good feeling with the car and it felt solid."

Toro Rosso are looking to change to Renault engines in 2014 in order to take advantage of their relationship with Red Bull.

At present reigning World Champions Red Bull use Renault engines while Toro Rosso, the junior team, are powered by Ferrari.

However, the Faenza-based squad is keen to swap suppliers, which would allow them to incorporate Red Bull's gearbox into their own car.

"We are in negotiations with Renault and then we will see. No contract has been signed so far," said team boss Franz Tost. "This for sure would be an advantage because if you are racing with a Renault engine we would have the same gearbox as Red Bull, because this is possible from the regulation side.

"We will use the synergies that the regulations will allow us to do."

    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
