Awesome pics

Whos was the shooter ?

what on earth is that?

You serious? You dont know of the Mclaren F1.... until veyron the fastest production car ever made ???

tisk tisk :(

I have always LOVED this machine of a car and still do

Fkn oath thats the one, I have seen that same F1 crusing and exiting on chandler hwy on the eastern fwy@!!! Had no number plates either, wonder who owns it

This one had a number plate, only on the back, it was like mclrf1 or sumthin like that, cant member wat state the plates were even, hahah, i was wayy too focused on the car...yummm, gold plated engine components!!

Edited by r32line

Either the plate is MCLF1 or BIGMAC.

It's usually at the GP each year. It lives in a block of apartments just behind the Hilton.

+1 for Baron25 to be banned for the most stupid question ever.

The plate is MCLF1 - think is the only one here. Soooo cool.

It's probably not registered to drive on the streets but like in the dude in Syd with the F40 just pays the fine every time he gets caught driving an unregistered veichle.

If you can afford those cars you can afford the fines. :)

MCLF1 was the plate of the one I saw in St Kilda some months back. Very nice car indeed and I still have the article from the UK when Rowan Atkinson wrote his one off all those years ago (in one of many boxes I hope!). :P

Cool pics Joel too! My mate has that Fiesta, I couldnt believe they renamed it to the Festiva until I clicked it and saw the plate actually said Fiesta, just your dodgy renaming! ;)

    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
