please let it be a good team. I'll only settle for: renault, maclaren or ferrari or maybe BAR. redbull/torro rosso/super aguri/toyota just wont cut it i'm afraid. he deserves a stint in a team that at least has a sniff of race winning performance.

Well, thinking it through.

McLaren - Bad year this year & Alonso as your partner for next year. Would you want to go there?

Ferrari - No 2 to some bloke called Schumacher. In any case Kimi looks to be headed that way, so is there actually room? Not sure if Webber would have enough clout to negotiate a good contrct with Ferrari.

BAR - Done nothing, going nowhere. Plus I think both drivers are signed for next year. Jenson has to pay Frank's bill somehow.

Nup, Webber has to have something sorted for Renault. Otherwise I am sure he would have re-signed with Frank.

As an aside I desperately hope this doesn't mark another point in a Williams decline. It worries me that they be headed in the same direction as Lotus, Brabham, Tyrrell, Jordan...

Frank has always been a straight kind of a person. Patrick too. (Actually I was going to call him a stand up kind of guy, lucky I didn't) Look at the way he looked after H-H Frentzen all those years ago when he didn't have to. (& people here reckon Mika was a dog....)

I am sure the rhetoric coming out of the Webber camp would have been pretty savage had Williams done the dirty on him.

lol stand up guy... hehe

yeah HHF and mika are now both racing in DTM and HHF is pounding mika from what i've seen.

Sorry bout that.

I have this reluctance to compare drivers when they have quit F1 & are racing in other, lesser categories. Primo example is Alan Jones. In the Williams he was absolutely first rate. In a touring car, well to be honest most of the time he never really looked like he gave a shit. Bathurst '96 was the only time I can remember him ever kicking arse.

He did well in the Seto Fords. Class Act!.

The two year Ferrari deal was all smoke, Ferrari denied it, MS ppl denied it. Though i dont doubt that they will try and sign someone like Kimi or Mark. If they get them then great, they weill replace Massa. If MS retires then Massa can hang around.

Sorry bout that.

Ahhhhh yes but did you ever see him drive Alan Hamilton's Porsche 935? Absolutely flogged all comers including several other 935's.

lol, that could be cool. nice to see some fresh meat at ferrari. it's been the schumi show for so long now.

I would still love Kimi and Mark at Maclaren. Second choice is Mark and anyone at renault.

Remind me about the Frentzen thing again. He didnt work out with Williams from memory. I recall he was miuserable and Head didnt have anything kind to say?

It never really got completely clarified, but the supposition is that Frank signed HH up before his big accident at Monaco when he put his Sauber into the barrier (out of the tunnel, from memory). At the time Hill was a bit wobbly & HH was the coming man. Frank stood by the contract even after Hill had won his world championship & it was obvious the HH was not as good as everyone thought he was. (Did good work at Jordan, however).

BTW, I loved Coulthard's recollection of Patrick's pre race briefing before his first race:

Patrick "Well, good luck then".

Mclaren havent been that stron this season. Last season the car was unreliable, this year pretty slow. They have lost a lot of lead technical ppl.

And im curious to see how the end of the year goes. You are only as good as your last race and the Williams wasnt too bad, quicker then Renault and McLaren and BAR.

Webber in an interview commented on why did Alsonso leave Renault, i wonder>>>

Yep, class act. Stole his bosses major sponsor, the Stone Brother's from DJR & set himself up on the Gold Coast. Bathurst 95 was an unhappy one for Glenn Seton for so many reasons. Lost the race when the engine built by his dad went bang with 9 laps to go. Had to sack his Dad because he couldn't afford to keep the engine development in house. How would you have liked to have had that conversation?

With a bit of luck Williams' form at Monaco can translate to Hungary....

Webber could not win a chook raffle in a pub let alone an F1 race in that sht box..and now wait for it he is leaving Williams to go where???..some sources are saying RBR....oh for fk sake Webber piss off out of F1 and go to Chump..I mean Champ Car where all the other nobodys go.

On the news last night, they were saying Renault..........but i still don't know, think thats what all the peeps are saying, and well i hope thats right for sure, because he still really needs to prove himself in a car that can a) finnish races consisantly and b) win races. He will be staying F1 thats for sure, if its Renult or Red Bull either way!

and yeh he won't be winning a race this year thats for sure........ with Alonso and M.Schu on fire ATM with a splash of Kimi in there it would be against ALL odds!

    • 49719 is the cooler loop. Right at the front, LHS of that diagram. Return line from rack (LP side) goes to cooler loop on RHS front of car, then back under engine and returns to bottom of tank. 49717M is feed from tank to pump. HP line out of pump is thick rubber, followed by the hard line that runs down to crossmember and runs in parallel (but opposite flow direction) to the LP return line. Nothing goes anywhere near the firewall or interior of car. The closest they get to that is the connections on the rack.
    • Thanks, plan is to drain all fluid tomorrow and do smoke test to find out the leak.   Appreciate your help and want to understand how the system work. So cooling is achieved by the long loop not any rad? The diagram seems to suggest it connects to somewhere inside the cabin and I thought that is a cooler inside firewall. If you look at the diagram it seems to show it connects to something inside firewall. I tried chasing it but not easy unless I take loads off   i am confident pump is good as fluid goes in and it gets soft( steering) but as soon as I turn engine off , loads of bubble come to surface and overflow. When engine is on , fluid level is below minimum but when off it shoots off and thinking it is sucking air in. I suspect aluminium pipe may have a crack line or whole   smoke test with no fluid should be a good start and if needed will remove the pump   In addition, the one going under the engine bay is high pressure line and one directly connecting from pump to resorvoir is return/ low pressure?   finally I searched and suggestion is to use dexron 2 but that is discontinued so bought dexron 3 as all research suggest it is compatible and shouldn’t cause any issues/ blow seals. I bought two liter of dexron 3 motul atf
    • Don't worry about. Just don't try to drive hard enough to make boost and you'll be fine.
    • Yes. This has already been said. It is a loop of hardline in front of the radiator. Because.... the pump is on the LHS and the steering rack hydraulic connections are where they always are on a RHD steering rack....on the RHS. The high pressure line goes down under the engine, along the crossmember, like it does on all Skylines. Don't just throw expensive braided hoses/other kits at it. Work out what is wrong and fix that.
    • Still got the afm on the intake, clamps are shut tight, only loose hose is the one that goes from the j pipe towards the IACV, since it's next to impossible to find a factory hose and the barbs are different sizes (I'm still using clamps on this hose to try and help it seal on the iacv side) I've ordered parts to make up the hotside of the intercooler pipes, I'll plumb it in and see what happens in a few days I suppose The turbo's internally gated, can I just unscrew the tension rod to let the gate open?
