Think of the fact that when you drive into a tunnel, any tunnel, you are blinded for a second and then it takes a few secs for your eyes to adjust... add to that F1 cars that can go 0km/h to 200km/h and back to 60km/h in less than 6 seconds and I would really be asking what MS was thinking doing that in the tunnel??? I doubt that Montoya would have had a hell of a lot of time to see shoe especially without the aid of a break light!

from the little you could see they were both to blame, but in the end ms was swerving and then broke hard, JMP may have been able to take avasive action and risk crashing but im sure he would rather take his good mate out even if he does crash out himself, not like he is going to win the championship at least some good come of it, was good for a laugh as was alonso.

i have a feeling that like someone said, montoya will thinking to himself *suck shit MS i just took you out*... its not like they are the best of buddies anyway!

marjanal, im pretty sure it was the end of the tunnel. (i clearly remember the safety car just about to come out of the tunnel when the accident occurred)

we should organise sau F1 group viewings.. i always have friends over at my place or i go to a friends place and a group of us watch.. then we can sit an argue together :D

Ever been in a dark room then come out to the open? It hurts your eyes and your are momentarily blinded. F1 drivers are also human too. Like I said, it was a combination of bother drivers to make this incident happen. It's apart of racing.

On a side note, loved how Alonzo flipped the birdy while sliding backwards at Ralf. And I think that Jaguar diamond incident was just some PR stunt to get some attention since Jag can't win. It's certainly working.

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
