hi roy

i have finally gotten around to watching the quali.

they reckon webber's car was filled to the brim based on how long the fuel hose was on there.

his final time was either a fantastic lap or the fuel load is much lighter than they were suggesting.

hard to figure out.

Hammo acting 'teh ghey' once again...

Near the end of a weekend of jibes, Lewis Hamilton has hit back hard at his staunchest critics.

The championship leader, who could wrap up the 2008 title in Shanghai, served up a biting reply to Fernando Alonso, his former McLaren team-mate who has vowed to help Felipe Massa to emerge with the spoils.

"He was a double world champion who came to the team and got beaten by a rookie. That says it all," Hamilton told reporters in China.

"When someone has been winning, then another driver comes in and takes over, then they are not going to be happy about it," he added.

The Briton said he is not upset he is not invited to play cards with a band of his competitors, including Alonso and BMW Sauber's Robert Kubica.

"I don't play poker," he said. "Some drivers get together, I'm here to race.

"

Hamilton denied he has been drawn in to a round of mind games.

"I don't believe in them. There is no need to, because we can do the job."

He believes the reason for his unpopularity among his fellow drivers is obvious.

"It is because I'm winning," Hamilton said. "When you are a winner, when you are doing well, that is the game."

Rain...hehe, well sadly Mclaren look supreme in the wet, but who knows if Hamo can keep clear off the line

Hopefully Raikkonen remembers Fuji 07 and the first stint of Silverstone 08 as a reminder of how to drive in wet conditions..

I am watching it on Star Sports, i supose that is one benefit of being in India :thumbsup: I finally think i have now become apathetic to Lewis :D So ... i would still rather see Massa win the WDC but i think the schmuk winning a WDC and continuing to be a nob is inevitable. No point fighting it :)

Probably most boring race of the season. Unless your a hamilton fan.

Doesnt look good for massa, 7 points is alot.

Although ive asked in past races 'if there is a god, please give him some arrogant-in-the-best-car karma'.. And its worked :P

But i take a certain happiness in knowing mclaren wont win the constructors.. Oh the irony.

Also that comment by lewis on alonso and the rest of the drivers is a joke. There is many people who deserve to win the title and win races more than him. He stepped into the best car on the grid and has a team built around him which means he has no appreciation for what its like to really make your way in formula one into the position you deserve.

Nearly everyone starts from the bottom. It must be nice to start from the top hey lewis?

I hope alonso is right about being able to challenge for the title next year. I hate that lewis' greatest rival isnt in a car to challenge!

Well, i cant wait for next season :P

What i have learnt from this year. Heikki is the new Fisi, good driver, but not special enough to shine in a good car let alone carry a bad one.

Vettel vs Webber is going to be the highlight of next year....either way we find out if Webber really is the most deserving guy in F1 or whether equal to the equipment he has been hired to drive.

If Jr keeps his seat then Renault have really mellowed now they arent WDC pace.

And finally Lewis, will be interesting if he mellows as WDC or really lets fly now he has the silverware

Roy, you forgot a major factor which is sure to shake up the grid next year - any team backed in a major way by a bank will have no budget to develop their new cars. bad times for those guys, they are going to have to cut back majorly on the caviar budget.

and the manufacturer back teams will have major budget issues too - how do you think ferrari's sales have been in the last 3 months compared to the 9 months prior....

In a further development I understand the FIA have been watching this thread all year and have decided to ditch the stewards, and just take decisions from the posters in this thread.

don't forget that year long ago. I think it was 2007. a certain lewi homoton went into the last race of the season with a 7 point lead over his closest rival and finished that race without a WDC...

    • So we have most the interior back in, and for the first time with one OEM speaker hooked up. The 31 is running, driving and now tunes!!! Hahaha yet another step for the sub that sat 10m under for two weeks!!! unbelievable really 👌 lots of love work and not giving up on her. Seen so many youngsters part way less, and in way better condition. I’m stubborn, thinking another problem is just a hurdle to overcome, One at a time. IMG_9277.mov
    • That is correct. I'm using a modified ABS ring and a ZF speed sensor on my rear diff for speed input. I'm running a Haltech ecu. 
    • Been busy with the newborn. We originally thought we were going to go for a third, but we're good with two lol. He's starting to actually sleep now so I've had some energy to work on the car. It's been parked away in the garage since late November due to winter.  I went ahead and redid all my head oil drains. I originally had my front and rear head drain going into the same pipe but have since split them up. I also added an Ethanol content sensor to get ready to run E85 this summer. Tossed it on my return line. Sensor sits nicely under my intake manifold.    I also have a lot of parts that came in for my rear end. I'll be swapping over to a 3.3 final drive and doing the GK teck anti squat mod. While the rear subframe is off, I'll also change every bushing. We're planning on buying another house soon with the condition that I get at a minimum a 2 door garage, so I'll wait to have more room for this. Now onto the strange things that recently happened... After changing the lower rad hose (It had been sitting in my cabinet for well over a year and was the last hose I had to replace), I let the car idle in the garage to bleed my coolant. After running for a few minutes, it started missing. Got much worst within a minute or two and then stalled and would not restart. My crank sensor decided to crap itself. No damage, no explanation, just died. I went ahead and replaced it with another ZF sensor but the heavier duty stainless model with a shield. Tossed that in and started right up. Has anyone else seen this? I hate when things fail without cause. Luckily this was a blessing in disguise... This lead me to recheck my timing. It seems I may have had a beer or two the last time I had set my TDC angle as I was off exactly 5 degrees... I miscounted a line haha. I was running 5 degrees less then commanded. It's a little embarrassing but helps explain why my dyno operator seemed to think I should be making more then 478rwkws.        
    • Sharing results from recent Liberty Walk R35 GTR, since they are still considered as somesort of a V36 Skyline. We do them turbos too. This are high flowed SS-1 models with ball bearing conversion done.  Car have managed to pull 485awkws @ 20Psi so far pushing limitations of factory built engine. The build list for R35 GTR enthusiasts as follow : HyperGear high flowed stock turbos in SS1 (G25-660 specs) Custom titanium intake pipes. Vspec performance titanium front pipes. Vspec performance 4" titanium exhaust. Upgrade fuel pumps. 1200cc injectors. Ignition coilpacks Hks intake plenum. Hks intercooler piping. Greddy intercooler. Greddy bovs. Top-secret coolant reservoir. Emtron ecu. Straight E85. Built gear box.  
    • Nah no bearings, just slip fit.  Would be a reasonably challenging but not impossible job to modify it to run bearings but I'm hoping that's not necessary as I may have well built one myself if I end up spending hours modifying it!
