Mark Webber's Williams years provided a favourite anecdote about him, which says a lot about his determination, sense of justice and humour. Like all top Aussie sportsmen, Webber is not immune to a f

A rounded off nose would have made that car. Like the colour scheme, the rest looks okay the ferrari style step nose not so much. heres to redbull changing to secret bits before melbourne..

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"

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

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

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.

      The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.

      Just like in being 14mm too small (296mm) makes it not fit, being 14mm too big (324mm) it also won't fit. You want to find the correct rotor.

      @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?
