Hows about a Motor Racing Section,,,,where Shell and I can laugh our guts out about poor Paul Tracy loosing a wheel nut and crashing out!!!!. Shit that wheel must be light,,,,he threw it up on to the Tyre wall two handed like it weighed 10 kilo's.

Tons more to talk about,,,what with IRL, Cart,,, The Mark Skaife(I used to race a Nissan) rubbish,,, Stupid F1,,,,Moto GP and Super Bikes. Did I miss one,,,,Yea I sure did,,,what about the Rally stuff.

Just a thought...

If Juan Pablo wasn't in it, that arrogant turd Schumacher would win every race,,,even from 2nd.

what u mean if juan pablo wasnt in it?? hrrrmm hrrmmm....

ralf has put up a better fight than juan in nearly every race this year!!!.. and the only reason michael is so dominant is cause he's a freak of nature..

indy is full of f1 rejects.. and when mansell all those years ago went to indy he won the championship first go.. how many indy driver's try to get into f1 ?? and how many go from f1 to indy?? there's a reason for that.. f1 is the top.. if u can handle it, otherwise u go to indy

:mad:

Ralf just sits there waiting for something to happen. At least Juan has a go.

Indy isn't full of F1 rejects,,,,name more than one. I'll admit Mansell did very well,,,,but so would you if were in that team.

Indy's just about dead now anyway and with it's death we lose Turboed open wheelers. IRL will take back over in a year or 2,,,,at least we have a Nissan engine in it.

neil.. i use to watch a indy when it was good.. villeneuve,montoya etc were in it..

ppl like gugelmin andretti christian fitipaldi.. just to name a few failed miserably in the f1..

as michaeal said earlier this year.. f1 isnt about who can do a couple of quick laps and a fancy overtaking maneuver here and there.. its a whole lot of factors.. the reason i cant stand montoya is cause he acts like a rod.. he wants the respect of someone like shuey and hasnt proved a thing other than he can cause smashes with silly overtaking moves.. the fact that ralf is killing him overall this year proves my point..

montoya needs to grow up and learn some respect.. or he will be out of f1 before we know it... however ill admit he has potential but then again so do nearly all the f1 driver's otherwise they wouldnt be were they are..

WE NEED A MOTORSPORT SECTION ! ! !

Now.

Schumacher. Why does everyone hate him so much ? Alot of people forget that you need to be aggressive, arrogant, and straight forward in F1 (or any Motorsport, look at Skaife). Why do you think Coulthard does win Championships.

Schumacher at the end of this will have broken every record bar the all time amount of World Championship Wins. And if you look back at Fangio, you'd see he did it in much more dominat cars then Schumacher, bar maybe this year. (note: In those days a reserve driver could give up his car for the No:1 driver....which happened alot for Fangio).

Another point is Schumacher first language isn't English. Alot of people forget this. YES! I'll admit to be a full-on Schumie fan, and it not only his fans which believe when his done he'll be the greatest of all time. Look at the rest of the grid, there all pretty close, and Schumacher seems to be in front all the time. His amazing.

My I quote :

To beat Michael in equal equipment isn't possible. To do it in a better caris possible. And thats what Hakkinen's done, what Damon Hill has done and what Jacques Villeneuve's done.

Michael's the best by a mile. People still don't realize how good he is.

...Eddie Irvine

I disagree with Jacques being included in there. I think Jacques is amazing. PLEASE SOMEONE GIVE HIM A WILLIAMS ! ! ! ! !

I'd love to see JV Vs MS again.

Skaife is overrated.

Traceys weight slows him down....hehehe

Burns is the King

Bayliss Vs Rossi next year....PLEASE!!!!!!!!!

Last but not least

Go Webbers Go Go Go Go...Toyota next year ?????

  • 3 weeks later...

Why do people put Hill and Hakkinen down???

As Ron Dennis put it, "You don't go winning championships in F1 overnight."

That's always the excuse when it comes to Schuey not winning a championship ie. lack of equipment. Have people forgotten that Ferrari (until Toyota came along) that technically have no budget? They pretty much spend as much as they can to win.

    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
    • So, a bit of a side trip, but one that might be interesting for people with JDM cars and japanese head units. I know @Pac previously posted about a carplay/android auto adapter he installed which used the AUX input, and @V35_Paul put in one of the Tesla style units that replace both screens. The option I went with was a Lsait LLT-YF-VER5.87_2 (https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8GB-Android-Multimedia-Interface-for_1601187633672.html). Price was $1,150 for a single unit although they are much cheaper if you are willing to buy 2....$857ea. Make you you get the version 2 not version 1, it is faster and has a better UI - this is the manufacturer listing: http://www.lsailt.com/product/348.html. BTW if you've never bought from Alibaba before, don't be concerned....these guys can't stay in business unless they are responsive, ship fast etc, they were excellent (probably faster shipping than most local places) So, this was my task for a lazy Sat afternoon....looks complex but was all done in a few hours (it probably helps that I had some of it apart before so it was a bit familiar). I also decided to add a HD USB drive recorded at the same time and the unit also supports an aftermarket reverse cam (if you don't want to retain factory) and also AV in and HDMI out It looks much worse than it is, in fact in was genuinely all plug and play (no custom wiring at all). This video was pretty good (skipped a few steps), unfortunately they are an Aussie seller but no longer sell this unit (I guess Carplay/AA adapters are easier to install and much cheaper) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5hJfYOB8Dg
