So yeah, that video was fucking choice...

Yeah I was pretty gutted to wake up and watch rain fall on an empty track all morning...

I understand Ferraris strategy, so I guess it's very likely smug face will get his championship done this weekend...

Not as excited as I am for you to come up with a username that isn't Honda Ass Dragger...

But yes always enjoy circuit of the America's.. Don't think it will be exciting, always hoping for a vettel upset but ya know...

Club nights are 2nd Wednesday of every month.

Taupo Track 2

Alfa Romeo 156 - 1.25.54 - R888's

Yeah I am. Check out their Facebook page, they're doing a bit at the moment.

Bit of an interesting culture, they have club nights on a Wednesday night once a month which you can come to and meet some people etc...

Guys have a cx7 next door

Engine light from saying lean after cat

Oxy sensors and cat converter are to be said to be the issues, so hard call on that one

Had the same fault on MPV 2.3 Turbo, will be the Wideband Oxygen sensor (main 02 sensor on manifold), check live data the correction value won't be moving, almost guarantee it...

I agree with that perspective. The Ferrari partnership is certainly much stronger then the Marussia support... I still firmly believe they will have alot to learn walking into the formula 1 environment as pure customers effectively...

Very interested.

Indeed, no surprising considering the head of F1 Mr Bernie has countless bribery and corruption incidents to his name...

And if Maldonado has a seat again next year, I think I'm going to give up and watch Nascar...

Fuck his money, he drives like a women on the rag.

Good, shit, shit, shit, alright, shit, crash, good, shit, crash, shit, good, crash...

I can't see Haas being a midfield car straight out of the box, fuck if Mclaren Honda couldn't do it, doubt Haas can.

Marussia is Ferrari supported too, enough said.

They are also trying to be factory based out of the US, that's going to bring a whole world of challenges...

12A, 18A, 13B, 20B, 26B

Holy crap, no one could ever say Formula 1 is boring watching that particular race...

Vettel, Riccardo my boys...

Wtf Mercedes wtf indeed...

Well the voltage regulator regulates the voltage, so if you have excessive voltage then its a good place to start, you need to check the connection to the battery is stable as it is the soak, the load which is the basis of the regulation...

IV had two with no real rust issues. An eb2 that was fine and an el that got a small patch on inside of one sill.

I don't believe all the rust hype about fords as have seen and owned many rustier cars of similar age.

Id just have a look over it and be as weary as you would with any other vehicle.

Alternatively..were the AUs more shit than the earlier cars?

The Falcons actually got worse for rust as each new model went on, starting around AU, the BA's were horrific, BF'S as well. I've seen 10 Year old falcons getting complete sill replacements, Inner's, outters, inner arches... Frightening shit.

You want to use that BNT De-Oiler, comes in a one litre pack.

I've used it on modern Euro diesels that shit their heat exchanger oil coolers. Makes a mess and they have that separate header tank system, so pretty intricate.

But it works real good, I'd buy two bottles and use it twice if it's quite bad.

It's more of a detergent. Follow instructions. I agree with Spencer in regard to hoses etc, on that age of vehicle.

Totally agree with Spence, always check oil pressure with gauge, regardless of being suspicious of sender fault.

Not something you want to miss the warning signs on...

Wow that was all a bit different...

Ferrari might need to go back to the drawing board to sort their pit stop issues, starting to become a little too regular...

Jealous.

Red Bull exist to win.

I don't agree with the level of negativity, RedBull is also not my

favourite team.

But this is not a one year with a shitty engine situation, this is the 2nd Year, with a 3rd almost guaranteed.

Renault swung and missed in a very big way, that engine is an under powered grenade... I think they deserve some criticism...

But. The media has taken everything and blown it up and repeated it over and over...

If your spending that much money to be average, and you didn't seriously look at the future, then you'd be a absolute fuck wit...

Good on Williams for being all about racing, but if they continue like last season they'll be bankrupt and non existent in a year or two...

Also thoughts on these:

I can't decide, there's something magic about watching the driver's heads and hands in the open cock pits...

I do think that his concepts are pretty awesome though, can't imagine how many hours that would've taken...

Its time to go Red Bull:

Never once since have I followed the sport have I seen Ron Dennis or Frank Williams have a whinge like this..........

 

And do they really think and new Engine manufacture is going to want to join up with them with an attitude like that

 

Williams exists to go racing

McLaren exists to go racing

 

Red Bull exists to sell Sugary energy Drinks

But he's right. So right, could you even begin to imagine the frustration of that deficit with no alternative in sight?

You need to chill out with your constant fuck off Redbull remarks, I think everyone gets that you don't want anything to do with the 4x Consecutive World Championship Constructors that are obviously no good at racing cars or building them.

Drinking Redbull just makes you really lucky.

I really hope next year that Toyota and Nissan can be more competitive (Please Toyota grow a set and try a more aggressive development strategy and Nissan refine what you have got please don't start from scratch again with a whole new concept)

Wow that's a hilarious contradiction. Toyota try be more agressive like Nissan but Nissan try be more like Toyota.

I know what you mean just comes across interestingly.

Schmik?? Sounds like onomatopoeia for a come shot to the face...

Come on guys. Don't go forging declarations... The legitimate users will lose out from some tight half assed idiots... Shouldn't have to be said...
