That was some funny shit

Ivan and I were sitting in the Jones stand and saw him stack on tyranovision just after he drove past, and we both lost it

The bit they had on the new Tires was interesting after a conversation i had with some Michelin big wigs last week.

When all the suppliers placed their interest Michelin pulled out when told that F1 wanted a tire that would "go off quicker" as it goes against Michelins philosophy of endurance and "economy".

There has already been some comments that the team cannot talk about the falloff due to the Pirelli being unhappy with the negative media already

Also noticed that One has Ferrari listed as "Scuderia Ferrari Malboro"

really? wow thats a bit risque!! hadnt noticed but wll look next time.

i like the idea of trashing tyres easier. makes for smoother racing. and yet the wing (which i can still see failing spectacularly) and the Kers should add the speed back into it.

Vetools time was with the wing up as much as possible and kers in use....neither of which they had last yr at this point.

woot Q1...envious of those that are there. thinking of making it our honey moon next yr. perfect timing.

Did you notice webs having a look @ the bottom of vetel's car when they were parking up after the last qualy?

koby was dammed impressive and it seems like someone lit a fire under sutil finally, dammed hot drive and one hell of a save, was thinking I'm about to watch sutil's death when he spun. sauber look hot this season.

torro in q3, holy shit.

what about massa baby, shit we area about to get eliminated, here's pull 2-4 seconds out of your ass with like 3/4 the lap done. that shit was insane.

vetel's time better than pole last season, Hol-ly f***.

Two things just happenend:

1. Either vettel is a finger wagging genius, or webber is jut as utterly useless as i thought

2. Vettel is going to go back to back. He may not even break a sweat to do it

And mclaren and ferrari are the wrong way around? where the hell did that come from louie!?! Nando will be dissappointed losing out by 1.4secs from pole.

So the bulls werent using kers, and apparently they arent saying why. Leading one to believe theres a potential issue

If for whatever reason they dont have this sorted by tomorrow, expect lewis and jense to absolutely mob them from the line

which would be a shame for vettel after that great performance

    • Harness update time have had great fun and learnt so much already so far with this project. I started off making both the ignition and injector sub harnesses in the hope any mistakes i made here aren't as hard to undo and learn from as the main harness.  A cool comparison of the old harness using presumably TXL wire and the new which is using Tezel. Also opted to use DTM plugs to keep the whole setup as neat and tidy as possible and tucked the wiring under the coil bracket to try and keep it all from sticking out too much. Although the injector harness, I'm not overly happy with as I'm still using the rubber boots that are supplied with the type of plugs it just looks ugly and sticks out like a sore thumb with the white identifiers so a slight redesign may be done.   Then it was main harness time and most importantly trying to route it nice and away from the heat it will use the OEM heater hose routing which is no longer present to keep the harness up high and secure. it's amazing how much smaller this harness is able to be compared to the old one. plugged everything into the emtron and with the help of the tuner again attempted to start it up and instantly fired up and running smoothly on all 6 which was a big shock to myself. So still some routing and adjusting to be done for the final fit up and installing a knock sensor harness plug which is in the post all has gone surprisingly well.     The old harness for shits and giggles.
    • They do that at random every now and then, with almost no detectable cause. Mine has done it a couple of times (over 25 years!!). Never worked out why.
    • I don't post on here and have been lurking for some time now. Many of the topics have helped me out more times than i can count. I was racing yesterday (11/9) and blew a front right CV shaft. I have spares so I popped a new one in. A thread i read previously said to check the engine mounts if you blow a front CV. Upon inspection, the front right mount was completely separated from the upper plate. This discovery saved me time and money, because i would have blown another CV if i went back out. Just wanted to thank you guys and wish everyone luck with with their builds. (Now if we could only come up with a solution for my power steering belt flying off after hitting the rev limiter, lol)
    • Either way he still need those style of spacer to go into the manifold because the photo he currently has is not going to work 
    • You can just get the injector bosses, which allows top feeds to fit. He can use the same injectors without issue, like these (another option): https://rocketindustries.com.au/af59-2210-rb25-fuel-injector-inserts     The Racework ones look a bit better: https://www.nzefi.com/product/raceworks-lower-injector-mounting-boss-kit-for-r33-rb25det-s14-s15-sr20det/   You could also just get a similar kit like the Radium one by Plazmaman: https://plazmaman.com/product/nissan-rb25det-r33-billet-fuel-rail/?srsltid=AfmBOoogfYq49X0fu2Wdbf8yOf6zt9egyPAif_gn3Qr3G8hzAphhTgOkO70
