Ok so season kicks off with Melbourne this weekend :)

So who is everyones pick?

Im like a scratched record...in hoping David Coulthard can get it together for what may very well be his last Melb GP.

So whilst i wan to see DC do well, i wouldnt be putting money on him. As always preseason testing have every chassis/engine primed to win the championship :Oops:

Anthem sucked, race wasnt all that great either.

Have to hand it to those red cars, just did too good a job.

There were some good signs with regards to the pace that Bar and Renault showed, so lets hope that we get some warmer temps in Malaysia ans the Micheline boys can do there thing.

It would be interesting to see how schumaker would do in that car of ur Franks :starwars:

And speaking of which about 12 months ago Weber jumped onto the hillclimb track and apparently set a super quick pace on his first ever run up the hill.

Kinda like pete :stupid:

I was at the Gp and i have to say it was a bloody boring race. Actually a bloody boring weekend compared to last year. The Ferraris were visually faster than any other car and they looked like they were set up beautifully. I think BAR will be the suprise of the year judging on the melb gp performance. Webber drove beyond his car more than any other driver and other than that it looks like it will be a repeat of 2002.

    • There's no way they left the factory like that. In R chassis there is nothing stopping the steering wheel being put on one spline out from straight, and then adjusting the steering arms to "correct" it (sort of). As well as the indicator cancelling there would also be an issue with how tight you can turn in one direction to the other. The other (less likely) possibility is that the "clock spring" (the circular electronic part that allows the wheel to turn while still having an electrical connection for horn and any other buttons like cruise) might not be in place correctly. I don't have any pics of the R33 (or Stagea) setup but there would be a circular locating tab which sits in the steering column to have it straight...if that is not seated properly then the indicators may not cancel at the right point (and, you might also get a HICAS error since it would think you are driving in circles)
    • It will mostly be bad scoring on the bores, which you can almost certainly fix by machining for oversize pistons. I have to say, I am super surprised that any standard turbos made it 35 years down the track before exploding!
    • Thanks for the info mate was thinking 255/35 rears and 235/40 fronts
    • What's the difference? I would have said that between the front and rear axle lines, there's no noticeable diff between a GTR and an NA 2-door.
    • It will be salvageable. It really doesn't matter what is damaged. Opening up a 30+ year old motor for a rebuild immediately means a complete rebuild of the head anyway. Damaged valves just means an opportunity to put in some nice new ones. And in the modern day, why would you not throw at least a nice set of pistons at something. And if you're doing that, why not rods, and ARP fasteners, and so on.
