lol, kerb cutting

Ricciardo towelling down Karthikeyan.

Bullshite DC why didn't he just get the job done on the main straight with DRS/KERS.

Please be a safety car...

brilliant, LH and Massa deliver again.

Captn Chin needs to pit.

It is bizarre that Button is back on the pace with a full fuel load compared to quali yesterday. He will be hoping the rubbered in track helps with the hard tyre stint.

not exactly the most exciting race...

Ricciardo has passed Karthikeyan after getting shuffled in the start

Ten was bleeding money so they had to get rid of the sport only channel. I am pretty keen on watching Pro Bull riding. I might be the only one.

I got a nap in this arvo and I will still make it to bed at a reasonable time.

...but by mailorder??

I suspect that once you get a new dump pipe, intake, suitable oil and water lines, engine management, injectors (or an adjustable fuel reg to bump rail pressure to squeeze some more out of the stockers) you might find that something like a Hypergear or GCG hi-flow might get a better result and/or give you less headaches.

How much did you pay for it? I am just wondering if all the work and additional cost is going to be worthwhile for the end result.

I have a similar cartridge with a buggered turbine wheel at home too.

Button has no grip...good to see he is back to normal.

Massa losing the back end....nah.

Is he going to be riding a Harley in the sewers?

For me plug and play is easy. Field harnesses and wiring in piggy back systems is what I call 'not easy' and 'potentially expensive' if you are paying a workshop however there are definitely options for series one. A SAFC will also do a pretty reasonable job. I was only interested in the RS4S so the virtues of the auto transmissions isn't something I can comment on. For the OP it is worth going in with your eyes open for the potential upsides and downsides of each model.

At low speed with the front wing flapping up and down?? They have to be testing 2012 parts surely.. He has gone past denial, past anger, past depression I reckon he is in acceptance now...bring on 2012.

Realistically in a cool climate the stock S2 SMIC is fine for quite decent power for relatively short hits. In Sydney, summer is warm enough for the stock SMIC to heatsoak fairly quickly with decent throttle applications at more modest power levels. Kiwi Bob ran his car for quite a while with one at reasonable power levels so search his posts. How much power vs how much power reliably in all conditions is the question to ask. IMO given the price of intercoolers these days if you want more power then simply install one. 7 to 10 years ago they were expensive so trying to max something small out made sense.

I don't want to see cars totalled for slight errors but I hate seeing someone only losing a tenth or so and maintaining their place when they go well offline. Given the number of bad injuries and deaths in high end motorsport in the last few weeks reducing danger is pretty much vital these days.

There are some large runoff areas which isn't going to penalise them for making mistakes.

More powah.

The dyno is fine Jez but I think you are a bit happy. (ps. found a two vacuum leaks on Mick's car tonite and possibly one other minor issue)
