Louise copping loads in the face off his boyfriends :(

Harry...

JA "certainly from Hungary onwards, Red Bull was as good as anything else out there, obviously pretty much on a par with the Mercedes..."

hmmm... Yeah Hungary, where both Red Bulls broke through with podiums!

Sounds good, but it was only because both Mercedes cars and both Williams, as well as one of the Ferraris did themselves in... So RBR finished 2 and 3 by default, with a Torro Rosso hot on their heels in 4th...

Then onwards from there, comparing the guys with the same engines so you get an actual idea about their chassis, both Torro Rossos beat both Red Bulls at Japan, a track renowned for needing great high speed handling.

And again, both Torro Rossos beat both Red Bulls in USA, also a renowned handling track.

As is Brazil, where the Torro Rossos were right in amongst the Red Bulls too.

No way on earth are Red Bull on par with Mercedes! They cannot consistently beat their junior, lower budget team with the same engine. Put a Merc PU in it, and Red Bull would get blown away except for three tracks all year. Torro Rosso with a Merc PU would be a better contender for the season than Red Bull.

They'll be interesting next season with the 2015 Ferrari donk. Williams will need to be on the ball! And Red Bull will need a Christmas miracle with their PU to be anywhere near STR!

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
