a Vantage turned out in front of me in Elsternwick the other day... then proceeded to open the taps in a big way... oh my... it barked so loud at me I almost jumped into the passenger seat... was tempted to mash the pedal and go after him but didn't want to be that big of a tool... could still hear him get on it about 3 blocks away too... n/a cars just sound soooo nice

haha yeah i got gated by a porsche the other day and i absolutely shit... scared the bejesus outta me, hell impressed though by the time i rubber necked it was gone.

Got to drive the R8 today, thought this would be a good chance to put this thing to bed, the fact is been so hyped up and all. was over hearing about how special they are but now.... What a cool car. So much cooler than the turbo :ermm: its like the rs4 was shrunk, sexafied and megaphoned. mmm euro V8....

i would definantly take one of these over a r31!.

That Yellow Porka is bad. I think even Age and Mav would agree!

haha u could be onto something there mate...

Yes it is slightly poxy... I think i need to take the banana down there and show them the white wheels might encourage them to improve it or something.... :ermm:

I'm not sure Ash would agree................

It has been 24 pages and its been killing me.

I have to just let you all know. THAT FERRARIS SUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So many other cars i would pony up my dollars for well before something from Ferrari.

Except the F40 which has always been one of my 3 fav cars ever

..but now it seems there is another car from those Italian boof heads that is to die for. I guess if they build enough cars then from time to time they will get it right....

Im left with wondering if my Powerball numbers will get up before i lose the control of my legs and bladder and whether i will ever get to enjoy such a car

Hehe - it's funny too, the only other car to scare the absolute shit out of me while driving is your Silver Bullet. Only it sounds like a sewing machine in comparison.

Maybe I'll bring it along on Tuesday...

Check out this one on Carsales - even has a cage!

ive always found funny that how australian v8's get bigger and bigger to make more power while the euro cars keep smaller ones and still can make more power out of them. Thats new technology for you something that australia wont use for many years to come.

I like yours so much better, in silver it is just out of this world good looking. I have not been the biggest fan of the F430, like i was saying, i cant believe the difference silver made to the car...lol only for you to tell me its actually a 360 :blink: To me the 360 is a nicer looking car, and that Challenge....yeh, i have not stopped thinking about it. I wish my car was that scary fast :)

Really? Grab a few Car Magazines. Best i can tell the Euros are going crasy big. Seen the latest AMG E63 lately? Seen the displacement of the Ferraris going up every model. Seen the displacement of the Supercars these days...they are all way bigger then last 1990-2000

Spotted and hear the Glory of the 65 Last night OMG.... Sounds mad inside and just as good from the outside

James unless u changed plates to Vic it wasn't ur one either :domokun:

was it black? Mark Coffey has just taken delivery of his new CL65AMG

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
