I love porsche :O

Porsche Carrera GT as a "cruiser"? Not with that clutch and suspension set up! It's hardly a comfortable car to "cruise" around in. You can look really cool as you cruise past, bunny hopping away from standstill and fillings falling out your teeth over potholes :O

I could easily go an all-Porsche garage though.

Track Car: Carrera GT

Daily Driver: Cayman S

Weekend Cruiser: Boxster S

Street Sports / Targa: 911 Turbo S

People Mover: Cayenne Turbo

i don't think the suspension and clutch will be that bad, i will tell u how it feels IF i got a chance to own one :O

Anyone want one of these in their garage?  :O

hahahaa "The initial payment should be around $320,600 for the FOB price, plus $1,000 for our service fee - other payments would not be due until after the vehicle arrives in Australia." :lol: :lol:

I wish I was rich :O

...ah, a wise man :(

Only i would trade the TT SRT Coupe for a TVR Sagaris

TVR-Sagaris-02-1024.jpg

...and im with RONIN09, fark the daily driver...all these puppies would see the daily commute :)

LOL...GTRs are gay :)

quote Roy: (Only i would trade the TT SRT Coupe for a TVR Sagaris)

I thought about a TVR Tuscan S 2 instead, but the 1000hp twin turbo viper would be just too much fun, with performance figures like this, who could say no!

0-60 mph: 2.9 sec.

0-100 mph: 5.9 sec.

0-150 mph: 10.9 sec.

0-200 mph: 19.9 sec.

Top Speed: 255 mph

1. Lamborghini Murcielago R-GT (sunday car) the sound of one, phenomenal.

2. Ferrari Enzo (saturday car) well, arguably the best car manufacturer ever.

5. Bugatti Type 41 Royale (garage car) worlds most expensive car, a collectible.

post-23724-1137931479.jpg

now after looking at those, im now speechless.. lol

have the fixed the bonnet on the sagaris yet? or does it still flap around like as if it was about to come off at 100km/h?

Umm, i dont expect old Jeremy to think off his own bat, but what do you expect from a fibreglass panel, subjected to the forces that a bonnet sees at high speed?

Can you name a car with a non steel/alloy bonnet that doesnt buffet around at high speed? Curious to hear form someone here with an R34 Vspecc II as dont they come std with carbon? I suspect they still flap around, i know footage of Jap cars at Tsukaba do it (spellling?)

I know every car i have been in with a carbon or fibreglass bonnet buffet.

So i will gladly take one, and id rather the bonnet flop around a bit, as opposed to putting a heavy steel bonnet on :cheers:

Dont diss the TVR :)

Never one to diss the TVR also Troy but correct me if I am wrong (flame suit on) but wasnt it only the 34 GTR Nur that came with the carbon bonnet from factory like Geoff has as Troy has a V Spec II and I didnt think that did? B)

    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
    • What ECU are you running? This is probably the biggest question. If it's a PowerFC, I'd probably change the ECU and get something newer that will handle the injectors in a nicer way.
