oh one of those

i prefer these (its me)

I think I've seen this (or one the same colour) on Coro Drive. There was too much traffic for me to get up beside it and I wasn't going to use the turning lane as an overtaking lane. <_<

If it's the same one I see it regularly, usually around Toowong.

dunno about being around toowong, but its hard to miss this car with its plates "SCARY"

you are more likely to see it in and around the valley

the plates used to belong to the owners old car Porche GT3

Been poking around, the galardo, I drove it awhile back and it was impresive, it was so stiff in the body, that it made my skyline feels like a soft licorice in the sun. Nice car, but hideous depreciation.

As for the record, I don't own a coffee shop, and the owner of that coffee shop is like 40 something on the list from a vague memory.

Above all else, I think, cars like the F430 exist to promote hard working ppls to succeed, and I'm no different to most of the ppls here, as a matter of fact, quite a few of you have met me on cruises, even raced me in my skyline, lol. So just work harder and believe in yourself.

Also dangerous daveo, no I'm not married, and no I'm not gay, some may say otherwise.

Are you willing to convert i am..............on a serious note how about placing a order for the 575m replacment that will be a stunning car guaranteed and you can get to the head of the list.

I wasnt thinking that... but now that you mention it...

More so, wife and kids apparently drains the money, if your not married that explains it :P

Hmmm ...orange lambo...can't be many of those in brisbane. I got to sprint with one on the gateway north of the airport . Unfortunately we had a little too much traffic and it pulled off at the bondall exit. (This was some months ago)

Same lambo? Recall a silver R32 GTR?

There is actually 3 of the orange ones getting around quite regularly...I see SCARY the most, definately drives it like it should be as well, but I'm sure hitting the rev limit through Brisbane CBD is *that* smart in one of those.

The Ferrari is a great pick...but your blue RS6 (if you still have it) is still an awesome car...was behind a current model silver one yesterday, he seemed to take pleasure in owning me without trying ;)

I went for another drive of the baby lambo, seem good I guess for the money, but I think there is a mild face lift one just around the corner.

Also I'm not into old cars unless it a Mac F1 or an early 60s Merc.

Yes Dan I still got the Blue RS6. I need a 4 door get around, and you should have given the finger to the driver of that silver RS6. Haha. It either my brother or an very close friend ie. extend family member. There is only 2 silver RS6 in Bris.

As for the F430 , I ordered it with F1 transmission, and black/carbon fibre interior.

I'm still so upset over the delay, I got thing to happen before it get here this year, hhhhhmmm.

I ordered it with F1 transmission.

May I ask why you opted for that set up, and not a "real" box? Each to there own ect ect I know that, I've just always wondered why people go that option when they always receive bad reviews in Europe.

    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
    • The video for the servicing and fuel filter change can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44 One of the main jobs I wanted to do before the car officially went on the road, was to remove the awful looking blue silicone hoses. There's nothing wrong with having coloured silicone hoses, but I realise as I'm getting older I prefer monotone engine bays with a splash of colour on the engine cover(s). I cover this in a lot more detail in the Youtube video, so unfortunately there's limited photos of the process. The intercooler, upper radiator, boost vacuum and upper breather hoses were all changed to black silicone with mikalor clamps. The only blue left is a blanking cap at the back of the inlet manifold and the GReddy pulleys (which will be replaced for stock when the cambelt gets replaced) While the intercooler pipes were off I gave them a quick clean/polish too A before photo I do have a replacement air filter on its way. Fuse box covers were painted blue, they're now satin black Another job on the list while the bumper was off, is to add some mesh https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737966256_99b28bfa30_c.jpg[/img] I was hoping to use some thin wire to secure it, but it seems I've misplaced it and the wire I had was too thick to twist easily. I ended up using cable ties for the time being https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737131882_c2b7989dcc_c.jpg[/img] Was pleasant to see this https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737131627_8b2aab13b3_c.jpg[/img] The last thing to do was to fix the front grill and re-mesh that to match but I ran out of time The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R4FsF6tgizE&t=23s
