Each to their own... if i had money to burn, Id buy a Ferrari in a jiffy, the last place you'd ever see me though would be a casino.

Its not about that... your looking to save money while generally people who can afford a 400 k car dont give two shits as they already have two houses worth 5 mil each. You can get 10 k car spend 30 k on it and itll blow the R34 GTR out of water... Ferrari is a prestige car not a way to save money car..

I wish I could post "Phuck off dude dont pick on my car" lol :laughing-smiley-014:

Think of Ferraris as an overpriced oil painting... to some they are worth a fortune, for others...meh. Basically when you drive a new Ferrari its like have a big red arrow pointing at you screaming "Ive made it!!!!" If you had a new ferrari and a R34 GTR... your GTR would be daily, while your Fezza would be a weekend drive up to your holiday house at Sorrento.

After Ive had enough of my R33 Im getting either R34 GTT or a nice Audi Turbo

I got NGK iridium sparkies, when do they need to be changed?

Check it out: I reckon it looks sweet. Its not chrome so works well IMO.

Clean it yourself. resolder the internals. If yours still stuffs up check for second hand WORKABLE AFMs... I bought one last year for 100 bucks...

I never boost until the car has completely warmed up (10-15 mins). When cooling down, dont race your engine 5 mins prior stopping... turbo timer will not cool your car down even if you run it for 5 mins prior, infact itll trap all the heat.

Sweet car, yes autos are fun!

Happy Bday! :sorcerer:

Check the interior, engine bay and the general feel of the car. If it looks like it still shiney and new, chances are it has been well looked after. If the seats, dash, engine etc looks worn but it says 60 000 KMs on the odo... comon. Be prepared to pay a few grand more for nicer examples, they are worth it. A great way to overcome mechanical and maintenance problems is to service your car regularly, every 5000-7000 KMs. If you suspect such things like coolant and sprk plugs have not been changed prior, do it. If you keep up this type of attitude then the only thing you really will need to pay for weekyl is petrol and annualy insurance and regestrations. They are great, quick and reliable cars. Ive had mine for over a year and the only thign that went wrong was my right bushes popped and spat grease under my car. It cost $60 bucks to get two replacement ones, I replaced both at the same time... the labour was a bitch so I got my family mate mechanic to do it. So yeah if you know how to do half the labour yourself or with a close friend or relative, your laughing.

Thats tops! Awesome mate...

Some Japanese one...

There is a big thread about engine oils in the General Maintenance.

Oh no bro Im glad you are OK! You did a humane thing. However it could have been worse, the only thing to do really in those situations is to plant the foot on the brakes and hold your steering wheel pointing straight...

*Conditions apply: Its actually written off

What about the oven etc for the paint? Or painting the plastic is not that hard?

Thanks guys, but dont I need to remove the existing paint etc before I paint? I dont have the necessary skills/equipment for that

Thanks, that was my innitial idea... it looks like there is a bit of space there.

Thanks champ, im gonna install it before I go to the track...

Do you know how much it costs to install and if its big process? Also can any mechanic fit it or is it a tranny specialist job?

I have some scratches on the front bumper bar and wanted to paint it later. Any idea how much and whether I would need to paint any other panels?

Can you show what cooler you have in your auto box? Im thinkign of investing in one too. How much are they and is it hard to install one? What do you think of this one? http://www.autoanything.com/coolers/65A3049A0A0.aspx Also is it a must to have a tranny cooler before you go to the track?
