Williamss appear to be going backwards, and look like struggling to score points:( Toyota, Ferrari, McLaren and Renault all looking  strong, then you have Honda who are sitting out the next few GPs...more work to do:(

Hard to say until the 2nd qualifying session - he's not too badly placed atm for a points finish? I see another Toyota win looking likely though?

Qualifying isn't really Webbers weak point, its his racing. He does enough to hold onto a points scoring position but then makes 2-3 silly mistakes every race that loses him those 5 positions that take it from a 1-2 point scramble to 'just another finish'.

Huh? Toyota have never won an F1 race in their history...

Think you may have been referring to Renault - in which case, I agree with you :cheers:

:Oops: Woops- sorry, I have a head full of snot atm.

Should have said a Toyota win - I reckon Trulli might get up.

I'm not a Toymotor fan, just want to see another team win one for a change and make things a bit interesting!

I think it will be between Fonso and liddle Kimi. Apparently Kimi was doing it easy. Toyota? maybe, though Trulli in the past has had Webber tendancies, that is, qualified well and dropped off during the race. At this point they are so close in times that it is hard to see if anyone has an advantage (although Kimi stated he lost around 0.5 sec in the first sector).

I hope Webber can get it together for the race. Apart from anything, it will just get the critics off his back. I'm sure he's got it in him. He's one of the quickest over one lap. During the race, does he just push too hard or is it a concentration thing?

Are we being a little too hard on Webers racing? I dont think he deserves that sort of wrap, he normally races well. This season it was only the last race where he went backwards...and thats because he couldnt clear the Toyota early in the race.

I think he is one of the better racers myslef, i dont think Williams are at the top of their game at the moment...we will see how they go over the next month of two, but it would appear from practices problems it wont be a weekend to remember.

My money is on Kimi tonight, with MS 2nd and Alonso 3rd

You are probably right Roy. I try not to be too hard on Webber and still hope for some good results in the future.

I guess alot of people were looking forward to this season with Williams, expected alot and to date have been disappointed. Not disappointed in relation to Webber's driving necessarily, but the net result so far, which I know has a lot to do with the car.

For some reason I don't think MS will be up there in the race. Don't know why I think that. He may just surprise me, like he did last race. That was awesome.

Im from the other end of the spectrum. I wasnt expecting a whole lot form either Weber or Williams, based purely on the results of the past two seasons where they had long term drivers, same engineering staff etc etc. This season there have been a few infastructure changes, so that combined with patchy performace past two seasons...

Well i was expecting most GPs to be like the last, and just quietly its good to see Weber so far showing a bit more promise then Heidfield, as quietly i was thinking Heidfield was going to show up our boy:) Glad to see i was wrong:)

I was actually surprised by how well Heidfeld has gone compared to Webber, he has out qualified him a couple of times now but I think Heidfeld is starting from the back or something in this one?

in F1 Webber, has usually seemed to qualify well, start poorly then drive solidly (generalisation but still, bloody Fisichella running into him the other race :rofl: ). Hard to say whats the car and whats him, but I think when he gets the setup right and his starts and racecraft right I dont see why he wont start winning races.....hopefully

Fingers cross Webber don't bog down on launch. I want to see him brake super late into the first corner!

It's SO hard to chose who to barrick for. Webber cause he's an aussie. Kimi cause I'm a maclarens man. And Toymotor cause I own one now...

Why couldn't Ron Dennis sign Webber up and I buy a merc??? I'm such a cheap b@stard! :rofl:

minardi's are crap! the couldn't eve start the race now! Why do thy even bother?

Sucks to be them! How pissed off would you be if you came all that way to stall on the grid.

Kimi looks quick - I'm going to shut up and stop trying to predict whose going to win these things.

      A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.

      The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?

      So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...

      the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
