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:

    • Hi from Canada, Both of my calipers are starting to fail. My car is a 2005 M35 Stagea ARX and I can't seem to find any parts or any cross reference caliper that would fit my car. Is there a company or a similar caliper that would fit and I could replace the OEM one. Or if anyone knows where I can find a new OEM. Any help is very appreciated. Let me know!
    • Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that 
    • Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

    • What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
