Not sure if GTR is the same as GTSt but my fronts were the same as STI

I have to check the tape that I wrote it on inside my toolbox. I think its 100-110Nm. And always grease your nuts when you are going near dirty flanges!

LOL, come on man. I run the open ended steel Rays nuts. I always grease my studs and expect the film of grease means they never corrode. Oh, and my front studs are ARP so come zinc coated, though it no doubt wears off after lots of use. . Though my rear Nismo studs are plain steel and are in with a box of bolts and bits that are going off for zinc coating before my new rear end goes back together/into the car.

If only the 2530 could be made to hold onto boost up high then the result could be even better. Still 2 bux 60 from a 2530 is awesome. Imagine it would drive well too!

Back up for sale is sale my TD05H-18G with 3" inlet. Its a Kando, new and never used. Friend is selling his S13 project car so bits he had called dibs on are being returned. It has a Subaru core so is 360deg bearing with water cooled core and oil lube TD05H-18G Asking $540 for the turbo with no exhaust housing or $750 with the Trust 8cm rear housing (3 bolt)

I still live in hope that I can find a Trust TD06 10cm housing but to date have not been able to...so if someone wants to take this off my hands its sitting in a box and a friend that was keen to try it on his S13 has not lost interest in his project...so desire to hold onto it is now fading Also, it someone wants my genuine Trust T67 and 6boost setup I will part with it and use the 73HTA on std manifold with gate welded to housing

You can tell Sir Frank is no longer calling the shots over at Williams. He has always prided himself that Williams didnt poach other team's sponsors, rather attracted new businesses to F1. It was the job/challenge of other teams to try and steal Williams sponsors. Well, in the same week Williams have poached two Lotus sponsors. Lotus going to really struggle with 2015 budget. I hope Coca-Cola/Burn up the stakes and throw an extra 20-30million at them (not going to happen but would be nice to see it up the $$$$ to compete with Monster-Merc and RBR)

The car and driver that showed me I can't drive for shiza! Ahh 2000-2003. A period where I would do 10-14 track days a year

So does that mean curtains for ManoR Motorsport as a whole? Shame to see them lose it all due to a foray into F1

In the US he had a Barry Crocker. I think the Canadian GP thing was more a function of the problem his car was carrying but he did get a penalty for it. Dont remember the Monaco accident. I can think of wheel to wheel racing with Button on two occassions. One with Kimi. And with a pack of cars in I think it was Singapore. Was all fair and good racing. In 2013 he would have done it in every wheel to wheel situation. Either way, I expected him to go backwards even further this year against Hulk but he had his moments and on the whole think he improved over his 2013 efforts. To the point that I have removed him off my shyte list that needs to be booted from F1 to the young and still developing and needs another year. Good to see both Sauber drivers get booted...and even Massa came on strong second half of the season so keen to see what he can do over the 2015 season. At least JEV went out with some tough racing against Dan in Abadub.

I did read the article. I am not saying Perez set the world on fire, but at McLaren he looked ragged and in traffic was like JEV this year, it looked a coin toss if he was going to wipe a corner off his own or the other car. This year he is looking way more composed and had some cracking and fair wheel to wheel battles that he came out on top of. I remember it as I was rather damning of the guy and had to admit that he impressed me with his improvement in the year. He is still only 24 or so. Would have been easy to sulk in the FI but rather he seems to have gone away and is working on improving. I hope Lotus can find a decent chassis/engine under their Xmas tree and Romain kicks some ass next year. He is IMO better than both Williams drivers and should have been an easy pick to put alongside Alonso at Mac

So the journos said he had a good Singapore race because of the points he got. You cant tell me it was a smooth ace performance. Every move was a coin toss which is why he got so many penalties etc. Its not about disliking him...I just dont get how people can say that he is good? He has had some mega wet performances, but when you have STR folk shrugging their shoulders about his performance or lack of...well that influences my thinking. US GP seems another hatchet race...he seems to explore track limits more than even Vettel. I dont go out of my way to bash they guy but when people are trying to tell me how good he is??!!??!! Have to say he seems unlucky or people have just not been impressed with his attitude and approach. If someone wants to explain to me that it is the tyres, or some other aspect of the current cars that limits him then I will accept that. But saying based on current performane he deserves more opportunities....well. Williams dont pay top dollars for drivers...agree. But they do have a tendency of grooming young talent too. Not sure JEV fits that shoe. For me, a driver that had redeemed himself a lot this year has been Perez. FI seemed to get more out of him then McLaren were able to manage and will be interesting to see how he goes in his second season at FI. In real news, Hulk doing Le Mans is EPIC! We should get to see more F1 drivers racing in different cars through the year!

That was being talked about but I personally dont see Williams taking on Jev. He is used goods, and there is no way you would replace Massa with him when odds are that for 2016 Williams could have a seat that holds the interest of the best drivers in F1 by being a top 2 manufacturer. I think they will find another young talent to step in and be ready IF they dont have the likes of Hulk, Grosjean, Rosberg, Disco Dan all looking for a seat. If JEV had been composed in races I may have changed my tone but he was ragged running off the road and into people and looking a bit desperate ...all at the end of his 3rd year in F1.

lol...Honda are woeful! With all Macs experience....all the time Honda have had looking at other designs etc and they still stink Now for McLaren to boot Button and watch them fall further down the grid!

Bernie but seriously be 5days from a nervous breakdown http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/116761

What a spanker of a journo. "Not the fastest way around the track...but loads of fun" I would be screaming "Farking stick it to it . YEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Cow bell. Cow bell. Cow bell!!!!!

But then you have King Retard talking about Super GP2 cars for the smaller teams. FFS, the answer is stop lining your own pockets with hundreds of millions per year to manage the series and invest in your own business like the rest of the world has to!!!!! Serioulsy, anyone come across what Bernie and his motley crew at CVC earn? I am betting they take more out of F1 than they are paying the smallest teams

Nah , they got back together and you cant half tell as when they are together his head space is a lot better. Everytime they have broken up he is all over the shop

He wont do that. He would rather fake something in his eye and then yell victim for the rest of his career. Will be interesting to see what happens an Abadab. Really hope Williams kind shake up the grid and get in the mix. But in truth Rosberg threw it all away with a messy Monza and US GPs Still, be rather funny for Rosberg to luck into his first WDC. I mean its good enough for Hamilton then why not Rosberg

Mate has called dibs on it so when it comes off the car over Xmas is heading up to Sydney

More revealing then the promo pics that show you nothing technically!

Wow! Sauber are the new Minardi ! Sad to see. To think he turned down Red Bull all those years ago when they wanted to increase their involvement with the team and with it say in the team. What do they say about hindsight?

Would explain why Button was in such a foul mood during the race and post race. G.O.N.E! Been wishing it for a while but now that it appears a reality I will be a little sorry to see him go. He is a quality fella....even if he can only drive the perfect car he has rather hammered his favoured rookie. Perhaps Honda would be wise to give Button a year swan song tour and keep the kid in testing-simulator role for another 12 months just to be sure that they have both Button and Alonso pullingmax points every weekend. (something that kid has not been great at doing) For Honda McLaren could be the difference between 3rd or 5th in the WCC next year

I have 265 on 18 x 9 +21 and think I can get a 10 +38 on...10,5" would be great but a bit ambitious I guess

To Vettels credit he only had one GP (singapore) where he was in a place that even slightly resembled the sort of car advantage that Mercedes have. In 2012 he won so may tight races against McLaren just being rock solid (Apart from Canada where he speared off and gave win to Button) That all said I think Rosberg has pushed hard and made sure Hamilton had to drive well to win the WDC. So at least he has had one car out there that is withing a second a lap of him Seriously. after the second pitstop where up until that point they were just cruising to make sure they had the tyres to go the distance, I think Disco Dan got to within 6 seconds of Rosberg and then they just drove away diving into low 42s for about 8 laps putting Dan back to 15 seconds. They just have pace to burn
