Well that's just it. How can you compare any driver from Ferrari, Williams, Mclarens, Renault or BAR on equal terms with a Jag? If Webber can get P2 in a sh*tty Jag then that's DAMN well impressive.

:werd:

I dont presume to know everything about F1, but to think the only forces at play are driving ability is pretty silly:(

Sometimes you cant even compare drivers in the same team for politicial reasons. Think back to when Montoya and Lowndes were team mates. Not saying Lowndes is equal the driver, but it helps if the engineers and the drivers can actually speak the same language:(

It will be great to see what he can do next season- he's pulled off some sensational drives in some pretty unsensational cars.

I'm sure it's only a matter of time before we see him in the running for the world championship (provided we get rid of that shoe bloke!)

Remember when webber finished 6th at melbourne when he was with minardi. That effort deserves a chance at williams as the minardi car is so uncompetitive its not funny.
It helps when a dozen of the top cars infront of you are forced out of the race.

If you ask me Webber was an 8-10th place racer in the Jag and I think in 2005 he'll move up to a 5-7th place finisher (or 3-4th if you take out the Ferrari's) for the season.

I think Webber will grab a podium finish at the Aussie GP in 2005.

I hope Heidfeld grabs the other spot at Williams, Pizzonia will only complain about Webber having a better car when he's getting dominated by the Aussie. It'll be a good tussle this year if Williams get their car right, with the issues other teams are having hopefully it'll work to an advantage for Webber.

That doesnt change the fact that he scored points in a car that rarely finishes races let alone points.

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
