Ah Brisby...You save so much of my time with your posts :thumbsup:

Racing 750hp, 600kg cars in the wet is downright dangerous. It's called motor sport princess.

Yeah, If Raikkonen pulled in behind Kubica, your mate Hamilton more than likely would've taken them both out. If he can't see 2 flashing red lights and 2 cars PARKED side by side waiting for them to go green, what chance does he have of seeing 2 flashing red lights and the rear end of only 1 car parked in front of him...

Alright, while you and Roy get your jiggie on,

I never said racing wasnt dangerous. Raikkonnen the WDC was.

Cold tyres, out of a dry tunnel and onto a damp track and Wham, two cars taken out - at what he admited to being 200mph.

Brain fade from both drivers as far as i can tell.

Or dont you think so, "princess"?

Was also over the crest that caused Coulthard to lose it the day before....Maybe they should've penalized DC for endangering his own life...

A driver putting himself at risk and a driver involving an innocent are two completely different things.

You have got to be kidding me. Well, you're kidding yourself.

ITS A RACE!

What don't you understand? Should every driver that crashes be penalised for endangering the lives of drivers, spectators and marshalls?

Stop trying to argue something that is making you look foolish.

Wait a minute.

Lets take your argument. So its a race. What difference does it make then if it happened in the pitlane or out on the track?

Oh my, someones losing any/all credibility...

The pit lane exit was closed and the safety car was on track.

There are rules that need to be followed when racing. Kubica, Raikkonen (both in Monaco and Canada) and Coulthard (Monaco) obeyed them.

Actually,

You know what. I just looked at the incident again and i cant believe how dumb that make Hamfist look.

Such a stupid error... probably the dumbest of the year.

I dont know how he couldnt see the red light... Ironically, it went green a split second after Hammo took out KR...

and Kube was like "Yoink - ill take that win thank you very much."

From what I know (and it aint much), pit lane isn't considered part of the track.

And look, if the muppet can't see the cars, the lights and can't hear his boss telling him to take care then.....well.....can't say much more really.

Hamilton.......massive fail!

Dude chillax on the "Ive got to make my point and have the final say".

Credibility is overrated especially when we are armchair expert keyboard sunday warriors, lol

I was commenting on your "Its a race" comment.

No doubt it was a stupid error but i still think KR should have been penalised for his brain fade in Monaco because thats EXACTLY what it was to me.

A brain fade - either that or the "red mist" descended... equally as bad.

Frustrated with life because you cant get past a F.I much?

Monty at Montreal in 2005 anyone?

Actually, while we are at it, lets penalize all the groundhogs that appear at Montreal - those lil bastards

'specially the one that robbed Ant last year.

No difference at all. In both instances you race to within the rules. On the track you obey the flags, in the pits you obey the lights, pit speed etc. He didnt heed the red lights. Just like if he overtook Kubica whilst there was a safety car on the track. Or hit him whilst behind the safety car. You can do it, the fact that he hit another car when not stopping for the red light is the stooopid part of it.

And again for those crying FIA foul. What happened to Vettel when he rocked up to China last year? He copped a 10 place penalty. But wait, guess what? It was overturned when evidence came to light that Lewis's frequent baulking behind the pace car was a controbuting factor so was let off. LOL, so they let off Vettel because Lewis was partly to blame. They didnt can him then, which woudl have been a tough call. This time round its perfectly fair that he cops the penalty, its warranted

yer, It was a move warranting a penalty but i cant believe how many people on here are defending KR and saying his move didnt!!

Thats biased.

I just want to also say that Massas move on HK and RB at the hairpin was stupidly wicked.

But how many races has DC won? He isnt a hack. He is past his best, but he is still very talented guy, so when all by himself, in the dry he binned his car on the same corner. So fast forward 24 hours and in a wet race in traffic on tyres that are still comign up to temperature, he made a woopsie and hit another competitor. He went and saw Sutil after the race and apolgised. The way i see it he did a marvelous job of controlling it. He could have very easily made an even bigger mess of it and had the race red flagged.

Anyway, all this is taking away from a hige effort by BMW and Kubica. But the real story is how selfless Nicj Heidfeld was. If he raced his team mate like any other competitor it would have been his race because he had the right strategy at the right time, LOL and didnt need to hti a wall to fluke onto the right strategy :thumbsup:

WHAT MOVE?

He locked up the brakes, and spun out at the fastest part of the circuit. How is that a move? How can you even begin to imagine that being penalized?

How can you say something so ridiculous, whilst in the same sentence call anyone biased?

I was supposed to type "mistake"

Chill out Dezz - Its not the end of the world.

Cracker of a race though, pity Webber wasn't up there. Makes me wonder if he didn't bin it at the end of Q2, probably wouldn't have been in all the traffic as he was showing some pace, but ohwell.

Massa's beginning to prove a few people wrong, had quite a few passes and in trying conditions, is good to see.

      Stock rb25det neo questions

      By Wazmond · Posted

      Hows your intake piping? Are you still running stock? Having in the stock AFM position would mean, if the BOV was shut/venting out, it'd create the almost stalling kind of effect right // "the rich pulse behaviour" due to MAF thinking air is flowing ? But this would be better than having the bov in the stock position + MAF on/just before cross over piping right?

      Essentially, yes. Although I wouldn't put the AFM on the crossover pipe. I'd want to put it into what amounts to the correct size tube, which is more easily done in the intercooler pipework. I bought a mount tube for card stile AFM that replaces the stock AFM - although being a cheap AliExpress knockoff, it had not flange and I had to make and weld my own. But it is the same length and diameter as the stock RB AFM, goes on my airbox, etc etc. I don't have a sick enough rig to warrant anything different, and the swap will take 5 minutes (when I finally get around to it and the injectors & the dyno tune).

      So to summarise, the best thing to do is to move recirc to between turbo and IC, and maf on the crossover pipe. Meaning I'd need a recirc flange, drill a hole in the piping on turbo outlet area. And drill hole on crossover to fit/weld maf sensor? Either that or put the MAF on the turbo inlet right?  Is an aftermarket recirc/blowoff valve recommended? Do currently have family in Japan so could probably bring something back with maybe a cheeky lil SuperAutobacs run?

      Lets play a game - What is causing my oil consumption?

      By tsuokun · Posted

      Yep, so far most have said that it looks like corrosion on the wall from piston not moving. Which then has probably damaged the oil rings and caused those vertical marks. The longest the engine was still after the rebuild, was the winter of 2018 - 2019, plus the boat trip to Japan. When I shipped the car, it had normal gas in the tank but before that winter pause, it had E85 in tank.  In any case, even if either one of those was the cause, it happened close to 6 years ago and the car has been driven something like 30 000kms after the fact. Again, apart from the plugs and the dip stick, there is nothing in the way the car runs that would indicate what has been going on in the engine. I am going to consult a shop and ask their opinion, what would be the best approach. I do have some access to a garage I could use to diagnose further myself, but time is very restrictive. Might end up buying another engine that could be used while this one is being remedied. Without pulling the head, it will be impossible to find out if it needs another bore, but here's to hoping a hone would suffice.  Goddamnit, I would really have preferred this not happening.

      Got this r31 silhouette flood car to rebuild.

      By 25RBGT · Posted

      Boot is going to be replaced eventually. I just wire brushed what I could and rust converted. Then painted in rust kill primer. the spoiler also got repainted and plugs replaced on the ends. The under side of the bonnet is going to be black also, currently white. But red on the top side, same colour code as the silo to begin.
