I want this picture on my wall. :yes:

LOL, yeh hopefully there are a few good pics. I will be throwing soem coin at a commemorative/framed picture of it! :)

what do you mean "and again.."? Last race JEV caught Dan. Swings and roundabouts...

It's like saying "And again, whether Rosberg improved his race pace or Hamilton lost the plot".

Hard to draw meaningful conclusions from one mixed up race where they had no dry setup time in practice - Button got 4th just to prove how mixed up it all was here.

I think after 19 races....there have not been too many where they occupy the same bit of track for the whole GP with neither having problems. In Brazil Vergne had a Webebr-esque start and that was it. He dropped it on teh last lap in US when the lap before I read he had a rushed lunge at Dan only to clip the Sauber a lap later. For a good part of the start of the year, on merit he looked the equal whilst Dan was having car problems. But when they were running he looked arguably the better pic but was hard to tell with poor pace of car and reliability. I think Dan has been damn solid post announcement when he could have been excused for dreaming for the remainder of the season when JEV mayhave got his chest out with something to prove. Has not worked out that way...and my boy Romain has been the kick ass Frenchman on the grid (ok Swiss-Frenchman)

Good to read Webber pay Seb a compliment on his way out.

".... It's been a real pleasure for me to finish today's race like this. Yeah, and also to finish on the podium with arguable the two best guys of the generation we're in at the moment. I hold them in very high esteem. I'm happy with the finish and I'm happy to go and do something different now. It was a special day for myself"

yeh same, I'm not sure who's going to sell them so I'll have to keep an eye out. :)

Also paid him the compliment of walking past him and the naff Brazilian interviewer on podium so he could chat to Nando.

no helmet, hence 100,000 fine from FIA is in the mail

$100,000 less to spend on things he doesn't already have.....

Mansion in the UK....nope

Porsche....nope

There must be something he doesn't have (no jokes about the missus please).

    • Oh dear. The panel beating needs to be done before the filler work. Do you have a photo of the dent before you started? Hard enough to not flex and only hit the high spots?  What do you mean it was just temporary? 
    • 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 👌
