any particular reason you had to say the same bloody thing 6 times?

i cannot believe what depths this sport has plunged to.

its a f**king joke.

If mclaren were belted with a 100 million dollar fine and the best the FIA could do was come up with circumstantial info and this time Renault have been busted with more concrete evidence, if i were mac, id be screaming blue f**kin murder if they arent mightily caned.

renault will fold like a drunk and broke poker player.

which means the dirty sanchez aint going anywhere.

Renault are not in F1 to spend up big. Ghosn has specifically said that the program is in danger if they cant streamline costs. Renault brass wont have a bar of copping a rod on their backs the likes of which is bearing down on them at this very second.

They pull the pin faster than a german in ww2.

I am absolutely dumbfounded at how stupid this season has made me feel.

^^^^ sorry guys my browser had a spasm and 6 posted for some bloody reason

This Renault thing apparently started to come out in the McLaren investigation....its amazing how one thing leads to another

Im no Renault fan but 100+ mill will kill them and F1 cant afford to lose this team...Ghosn will pull the pin big time...he is shaky on spending this sort of coin anyway

Anyway the 6th will be very intersting

Also this evidence relates to the end of last season so will Alonso be stripped of world champoinship???

F1 needs to get back to racing on the track and leave all this hollywood crap for the soapies

LOL...Looks like Fisi may have a drive in 2008 after all...with Renault. Noone else will want to drive for them :D

What a wank, anyway. The whole IP debate is pretty grey. If its his personal work product...was he a contractor or employee...lol like this has been going on for years !

it won't be long before teams start trying to wipe employees minds when they leave the team (like the Ben aflik/Uma Therman movie, paycheck i think?).......well not realy ;)

Did you hear the rumours about moving from Albert Park to Phillip Island? They are thinking of developing PI into a track that can handle F1... atleast it will still be in VIC. Would be a crazy atmosphere, much like the MotoGP.

Ok, the hottest gossip at the moment is who will be McLarens no.2 driver.

Now that we are all well aware that it's a money and ego thing, why not put another driver in there who can sell merchandise, revive excitement and make people watch?

Why not put a Senna in the seat?

Bruno Senna (Ayrtons nephew) is currently in GP2, and doing OK. Not great mind you, but just OK. However, considering when leaving McLaren at the end of 1993, Ayrton Senna had said: "If you think I'm good, just wait until you see my nephew Bruno". That endorsement alone would raise interest.

Apparantly Gerhard Berger is his mentor though, so he may recommend Bruno avoid McLaren like the plague.

Still, to see another Senna in a McLaren, well, let's justy say I'd buy the merchandise, and I'm sure a lot of other people would too, and with the support from the team, we could see some excitement if he battles with Hamilton.

So, there's my vote.

you have got to be JOKING me!

somehow and i havent the slightest idea how, Honda have pulled off the impossible...

they've signed Brawn for the 2008 season!!!

lol, i guess the Jean Toad wont be out of a job after all!

My God, how did they manage THAT>>>???

http://www.planetf1.com/story/0,18954,3213_2877527,00.html

where will this rollercoaster of a season end???

i think im gonna puke!

and then WHAM, Toad gets the boot moments after!!!

LOL, what the hell is going on?!!

i cant say for the life of me i could ever envisage this scenario...

we all talk about driver this and driver that, but remember without these guys, the pilots may as well be driving blind...

THings to look for:

Honda to suffer reliability issues early in the season as they get used to a whole new car.

Ferrari to claim Brawn stole their technical documents, and was dobbed in by his local green grocer.

ITV to once again jump on the Button band wagon before relaising after a few races that not only was his old car a "dog" but Button isn't that good anyway, though expect him to be hailed as the next best talented after Hamilton if Lewis crashes out of a race.

Honda + CASH = Brawn on board. Ross wont give a sht about how much he can improve that shtbox Honda...he just will love watching his bank account...ching ching...mind you it wouldnt be real hard to improve on Honda's 07 effort

Todt was the smart little general (aka Napaleon) of the reds....there is a big chance of Ferrari slipping back into the bad ol days now

I'm sure you meant Napoleon, but anyways..

According to F1 live, Brawn's contracts stipulates a 'performance based earnings criteria', meaning if Honda don't perform, Brawn looses $$$'s, incentives to whack Barrichello and Button on 3 stoppers at the Hungaroring... Like Schumi 1998! :)

    • I have offset Nismo brackets so the fact the gktechs can pivot is less important to me. I have 170mm JIC arms with bushings - but they provide no adjustment and I'm not sure whiteline eccentric bushings will fit them (I don't want to ruin the bushings currently in them to find out). Ideally I want something with bushings + adjustment; hence why I'd like to find a pair of these. Unfortunately they aren't easy to find.
    • @Vee37 How much do you really care about finding these pads again? If your pads are quiet, work well and produce minimal dust, really isn't that enough? If you are set on finding the exact pads again, I suppose I'd do something like this -  Visit your local Jax, find out what brand of pads they carry. If the Jax workshop you previously went to had the pads on the shelf, then you can almost guarantee it will be of said brand.   I'm guessing you don't have the receipt for the previous work and pads. Can you visit a Jax workshop and see if they can look up your previous job to see what pads were fitted?  Still no luck? Put your stalker hat on, find the staff that used to work at the Jax store and ask them. Talk to local workshops, try to find out where the mechanics went to. Talk to Jax workshops, maybe they relocated to another workshop. When it comes to mechanics, its a small world. You'd be surprised how easy it is to track someone down. If these ideas don't work, shit will start getting crazy very quickly.... You could find out every brand and model of pad that fits that car... and try them individually ticking each off the list if it wasn't the one you were looking for.... If you go down this path your going to want to learn how to swap pads yourself, it is very easy, takes minimal tools and space. If you have room to park the car you have room to swap the pads. Plus you have the advantage of making sure all the brake hardware goes back in so they won't squeal! 
    • You miss spelled bearings...
    • Just putting it out there, that's a decent list. You would be better off *not* doing *any* of that and buying someone else's modded car. Like mine. Or anybody else's. Yes it's lotto dependent and all this and that but that 70K (remember, double your guesses) could go elsewhere. Keep it stock, save your money, go lowball @Dose Pipe Sutututu :p
    • Does not mean what you think it means. The continual rising coefficient is the coefficient of friction that continues to rise with increasing temperature. Not "rising during a single stop", except inasmuch as the brakes should get hotter during a single stop. The RR would not be the best choice for a streeter. Yeah....no it's not. JAX would rummage around in the "shit pads we use for all shitboxen that come in here" and install those.
