Yep - grey Lambo ragtop is one of mine.

Those rims are the standard 997 Turbo items. You can spec different style wheels - like the GT3 ones - when you order the car. Or you can have the dark bits body coloured, or painted black. There was a yellow 997 Turbo Cab at Porsche with yellow wheel inserts... that was a bad call.

That black one is owned by the brother of the guy we picked up our silver one from.

I'm just excited my 360CS is back in town. F*CK what a noise!

It makes the Lambo sound like a sewing machine! Race Mode FTW :banana:

I saw a grey Gallardo convertible on the weekend, cruising the great ocean rd... WITH THE ROOF UP!!! it was a beautiful day too...

saw this sexy thing today when i was getting some lunch:

(i'm still not decided on the factory wheels)

Me either man, never really liked them... though they looked alright in grey on a white 997 Turbo

Would look much better with GT3 rims on it...

PS James, take me for a spin, pleeeeease! :bunny:

James,

I too saw the SPEED YELLOW 997 911TT Cab at Porsche a few weeks ago and just couldn't believe that the person that ordered it had ticket the $2890 exterior paint option box for the rims. Curious if they had also ticket the Seat Belts in Speed Yellow for $990 as well. Personally I dont really like these rims and would find myself spending countless hours cleaning them even though they have the black inserts as standard, hmm then again if I got the PCCB, maybe they wouldn't need cleaning so much. I personally think the fried egg lamps on the front of the 996 are nice but great to see Porsche move back to the original looking lights on the 997, hence I would order a 997 over the 996 any day of the week. For power, looks and over all GRUNT.

Yeah - that's the Sienna crew

You can see a TR behind the Murch and a 355 over the road.

Here is the 997 Turbo Cab Taxi - and yes, yellow seatbelt and yellow interior options were ticked...

I've just heard a very interesting bit of news that has me cracking 1/2 a fat :domokun:

Apparently Aston has been developing a car in secrecy over the past 2 years or so that was unveiled to a very select group of people this week.....and they have been given strict intrustions to keep things quiet so don't expect details anytime soon.

All I can say is that its small, powered by 12 cylinders and is the quickest car Aston has ever produced. Could this be the Porsche beater that the Vantage didn't quite live up to be??

Terrible... such a shame.

Personally I think that anytime a Turbo is ordered in cabriolet it's a porka wasted... :rofl:

I bloody well hope so, i can imagine jeremy clarkson on top gear now telling the world its the best car ever:P

Ant, your talking about the Vantage that has a DBRS9 (thats the race engine) shoe horned into it. Auto blog had some photo's of it up on wednesday.

If its true it would be a sexual experience to drive that.

Like I said, not sure of any details past what I wrote but I have it on very good authority from someone who was there that the very car was unveiled in front of them...so I'd take it that it is no rumour :rofl:

    • That looks good, but I think you're going to need much beefier side skirts now.
    • They are daft and there's a reason it never caught on. Steering feel? We don't need no stinking steering feel!
    • I gotta pull you up on this. It's driving me crazy. A shutter is something that closes, like over a window or in a cmera. The word you want is shudder. That LSD is clearly f**ked. Take it to a diff shop and get it disassembled and examined by an expert. YOu might have plates welded together or something equally crazy.
    • Define "starting to fail". Wy not just rebuild them?
    • Check the Nistune doco. There are a few assumptions being made here that might not be valid. I will list the things that occur to me: Base map. Base map for what? Base map for Z32? Then the cranking pulse width is probably wrong for an RB25. The extra 500cc of capacity might well be enough to prevent it from catching. Base map for RB25? I don't think you can load one of those into a Z32. You have to just make the settings correct for an RB25 in the Z32 base map. That is either K or the TIM to get the pulsewidth right. Loom. You bought a loom for an RB. And you plugged it into a Z32 ECU. Did you make sure that any iwre differences were swapped. From memory, there's at least a couple. And as per the others, I would suggest making sure that the fuel pressure is correct while cranking and that the injectors are actually flowing as expected. They really must come out and go on the bench, unless you do find that you have messed up as per above points. I would also suggest watching in Nistune to make sure that everything is reading correctly. That the correct binary flags are raised at the right time (like the crank signal), that there's no stupid values in K or TIM. That you have not got mismatched firmware for the ECU and/or a wrong image loaded.
