Roy is exactly right. DC is a great RACE driver, just too poor in quali. I too hope he gets the drive alongside webber, but it's looking a bit shaky. Williams are on a push to find the drivers of tomorrow, not those of yesterday. I think in reality they want someone young that Webber can groom for them, so that this 'second' driver can be world champ in a few years time. Pizzonia is a knob and I seriously think it would be a mistake to pick him as Webber team mate, especially with the unproffesional attituted he displayed towards his former team and team mate.

Anyway, who else is going to Melb F1? I've booked my Brabham grandstand tickets and accomodation and flights are all booked and paid for too. Now I've just got to fill in time between now and March...

All drooling aside- I hope DC gets a drive next season. It looks like he still might have a chance at one of the spots with Red Bull Racing?

Hey Richard, what have you organised for Melb? I am pushing to do the Grand Prix rally next year (if the GTR is back on the road). Failing that, I'm sure to be making my way down there anyway.

Personally, I think DC is a waste of space.

He comes out EVERY year saying, "I know I was crap last year, but this year will be my year", and never delivers. The only thing Coulthard is useful for is the experience, and Williams have enough of that already. Coulthard would be ideal for a team like Red Bull so he can pass on his knowledge of the tracks/setups etc before he retires in the not too distant future.

It really puzzles me as to who Williams are going to recruit as "driver 2" as there isn't much more talent out there. Heidfeld was thrown around before, but I'm guessing he's staying at Jordan since Briscoe didn't get the drive... Pizzonia is unprofessional as was said before, and Alex Davidson seems to get over looked every year.

Anyway, my 2c (at work and bored), but I look forward to next year and yes, I'm going to Melbourne too! Accomodation is booked, working on flights and tickets.

yeah what a hunk of man... mmm coulthard. (umm no.)

I've (well my gf did actually) booked some brabham grandstand tickets, flights (virgin) down from sydney on 3/3/05 and leaving melbs on 7/3/05. Staying in Carlton (stayed in city last year, but nice to be close to Lygon street where all the action is post Ferrari win)...

Last year I went with three mates but they are all too cheap to come this year (well ones in Japan) so this year I'm bringing my better half. Told her she needs to hear an F1 V10 at least once in her life before they change to V8s *sniff.

Yeah, you guys have to do the GP rally. only problem is duncans such a crap driver. maybe you and I should do it in duncans GTR (the rally that is)...

I thought JPM would have been more your type  :rant:

:uhh:  I'm not even going to touch that one

My girlfriend thinks wahn is the sh1t but less so after she gets five bucks on him every race, and I get five on schui. ha ha needless to say, I'm nicely cashed up at seasons end...

Kel, you have a dirty mind... reading something into everything. :)

Yeah, Roy has made noises about southern hospitality before, perhaps a dinner somewhere central one night is in order?

Ummm I didn't have enough time to read whole thread.

Just saw an interview on RPM with Webber.

He's currently with Williams and they don't know who the team-mate will be and Jenson Button was a favourite cept it couldn't happen.

He's testing the car right now with Antonio.

Didn't webber come across poorly in that interview this arvo....must have been a busy week or something.

Hey Roy, how'd JV go in those races...I've been a bit out of contact? He didn't show himself to be an overhyped talentless no-hoper did he?

LOL...that makes you the nominated driver of the booz bus and ensuring all the pi55 heads get home in 1 piece:)

woo hoo.. I mean d'oh. I don't know what I mean? so much conflict...

Duncan on webber interview:

I thought he was 'ok'. One thing was interesting was seeing how he twitched when the talk turned to pizza boy and who will be his teamate next year. and whislt fielding those questions he was blinking about 30 times a minute which is strange for someone who only blinks around 5 times a lap... :) He said: "i don't (blink) know who (blink, blink) my teamate will be next year (blink X 10)."

very funny.

yeah, oz GP will rock.

      R34DE as in R34 with an RB25DE? So did you get this? Or you planning to?  I'm not really sure what you're saying.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.

      Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.

      Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?

      1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
