The loss is about 60kw in manual cars.

Do not buy that one. If you are going down the route of a GT3076 then you will need a T3 flanged (not T25 SR20 type exhaust flange). I would sit down and have a really good think about what you want out of a turbo before acting as you will save money in the long run by thinking it through. I am not a fan of the turbine housings that bolt up to the stock dumps as I have never seen them allow the full potential of a 76mm compressor. If you go down the path of a complete Garrett unit then you need to consider dump, oil/water lines, intake changes and you will need new injectors even with the correct HPIAB GT3076 with T3 flange there are still issues with oil/water line and intake changes.

It is strange that SV didn't pull away from Alonso once MW got that small break. He was running 2.5sec in front of Alonso which wasn't going to disrupt the Ferrari. Once he was notified of the investigation he pulled his finger out but SV could have easily had 11-12 secs up his sleeve. Enough to cover the drive through. The race was decided by how he drove after the restart as much as during the restart. I bet he is annoyed as he will have a month to stew over the coulda shoulda woulda's.

I would be riding the whaaaaambulance if I had to hand over a victory like he did. He might be a bit of a dick but he is hardly going to say he is happy and give some politically correct sound bite at his age.

Roger that.... .... fastest lap by SV.

Is SV sizing up a fastest lap, he has backed off from Gonzo?

Schumi rocks. Damn that was outstandingly wrong.

Smashing out a fastest lap...doesn't look like he had the wick turned up that high after all on the softs.

Umm did he not say "give me a good gap..." not "as soon as I have a gap bring me in"

another 3 sec or so and he has Alonso covered. and it looks like there isn't much traffic for the next 5 laps at least.

If Webber can catch a break thru the traffic he might get that gap over Alonso.

What does he need? 20-21 secs??

They must have had a love in. SV granny shifting.

anyone want to wonder what is going on at RBR?

The Tool put in a mighty time. Congrats to the little prick. Button might be in for a long day tomorrow if he doesn't get a good start from P11. Petrov out qualifying the Kube is a good effort...there is almost no chance he finishes in front of him but a good effort and a sign he is getting better.

I was getting a feed of Indian so I missed practice and only saw the final lap times. One HD suck for running the Cats rout of the Swans while quali is on.

MW quite racy in Practice 3 nearly 1/2 a sec quicker than Tool.

hmm, then you should at least take the guages out and check the plug on the rear of the unit. There is a sticky thread on how to get at the stereo which is pretty much the same thing you need to do. I must owe you 10c now. Usually these threads have happy endings when they are given some stick in the wet or on gravel.

find some gravel and light it up. 10c says the gauge is working.

The RBR cars look quick early. Have they upgraded any parts for the weekend?

Well if you need a leather strap to drive for Ferrari then Massa is well placed, he practiced with Schuey and now he has gone back to wearing the gimp suit for Gonzo.

from F1.com If "strong" is 2nd place then I reckon he is in for "strong" race.

Stagea has a HKS GT-RS and the R33 has a GT3040.
