Just saw on the panel that its offical, they even had a phone interview with Mark. We all sort of knew it was going to happen, but the confirmation has just made my day.

One thing is for sure, if you want to see Mark in a top three team, before the new rules come in, then the 2005 Melbourne Grand Prix is your last chance.

About 3 years ago.  Him and his girlfriend at the time walked away with hardly a scratch, the pilot and copilot not so lucky if my memory serves me right?

yes thats right in France, first thing DC was asked was "let me see your passport" stupid frenchies!!

ARE YOU FOR  REAL????????????????? How big a surprise is that. Surprised that BAR allowed that to happen, just as they started to show some promise!?!?!?!

What pisses me off more than anything, is this is the 2ND time within a year that Dave Richards has gone back on his words.

Halfway thru season 2003 - he finally accepted Honda's proto-type 19000 RPM engine had enough reliability to challenge CONSISTENTLY for podiums, and basically said "Next season we will have the engine to challenge for points, and two great drivers, in JV and JB" .. next second, JV is sacked!

Now he's more or less said the same thing about season 2005 - and gone n sold Button..

Perhaps Dave Richards saw $ to be made in selling JB back to Frank Williams. It's no secret that some of the smaller teams do this to raise much needed funds.

Still with Sato behind the wheel he's costing more $ than the R&D money BAR invest in their aerodynamics department. I think probably have new drivers for 05. Maybe Anthony Davidson will be promoted?

BAR Honda is actually one of the richer teams, with D.R owning Prodrive, and the vast $$$s of British America Tobacco propping them up.

TS is useless - yet he is the main reason Honda re-signed as engine supplier for the next 3 years..kinda good publicity to have a Japanese driver in a Jap powered car.

It's 99% confirmed Anthony Davidson will be promoted to #2 driver next season..

Yeah Davidson's been real impressive in Friday sessions. Maybe DR figured he'd do as good a job as JB and let him go cause he's worth more.

Oh, da Matta is gooonnnnne! That's good cause Briscoe is now official test driver as Zonta is promoted to driver for the remainder of 04.

    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
    • When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
