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.

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.

      Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga

      yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!

      From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
