Wuh, what? No one has the pace of the Red Bull's. It is going to be boring as fk.

Also why didnt channel 10 show the Can Am during the Melbourne GP. W@nkers.

There were Can AM cars at the Melbourne GP....... or do you mean they aired it while the GP was on?

I'm not sure, I saw it live :)

They didn't show them on the tellie because there wasn't time in the 30 hours of cross promotional shite channel 10 put to air. Useless fkrs.

Just watched the race.
Awesome driving by Mark.

Lol at Maldo..

Poor Alonso..

Mercedes, awesome drive.

Vetel... no comment.

Was a difficult week to not hear anything F1 related hahaha.
Literally everywhere I turned.
Morning news, morning drive to work on radio.. afternoon drive home..
Saw it on tv at midday today at the gym even.. sigh.

Will probably buy a multi 21 shit for next year if a better quote doesn't come up.
Or buy one for quali and then race day.

well in one of the two races anyway... when the lead Ferrari was out of the race after the first lap, the Mercedes were keeping pace until they started runing out of fuel, and even McLaren were basically keeping up until they hit trouble of their own making again. And that was after the first race that Kimi ran away with, Force India were fast and Ferrari finished second. Bit premature to say no-one has the pace of RBR and its going to be boring as fk!

besides, if you listen to the drivers, you're not seeing anyones' pace in the race. They're all saying they're driving around nursing tyres at about 80%.

I disagree. He just genuinely doesn't give a shit. He wants to race and that's it

This Pretty much. Why he is so much happier at Lotus (and its showing in his driving at the moment)

Its not all about raw pace. Tyre life is playing a bit part this year. Red Bull are one of the worse off teams with tyre wear and it may cause them to do 1 more pit-stop then some other teams. And as said, I would hardly say their pace is far and above anyone elses. Mclaren wont take long to bounch back, the Ferrari is starting much quicker then last year, Lotus have improved and Force India have shown they can mix it at the front given the right circumstances. IMO its going to be a good year

Seems to be. I read an article not that long back that suggested RBR are well ahead of the other teams (other than Ferrari) and its mostly in part due to Horner who it seems is quite the wheeler dealer. He was the only team manager F1 fella to attend Bernie's wedding and talk is he was the mole in FOTA who used to sing to Bernie. All of which has helped RBR win favorable terms with FOM

    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
