Ah, it's only really the centre console - from the description I thought he meant the whole dash.

A pic from a couple years ago - haven't taken many other of the dash, got some vid of trying to figger out how to use the A/C though. :)

i am aware of that, usually wheels with yellow strips are perfectly round. if you look at the 430 wheel it is very clear where the wheel needs to be for the car to go straight. its just some funny supercar wank... like starter buttons.

Bah - Start buttons are cool

BTW - Ryan you would have heard the rattling exhaust yesterday... the whole bracket had snapped. Good old Fiat build quality.

Some nice cars at Ferrari today too - about 5x Gran Turismos, a 599, a couple of Scags, a 550 Superamerica and yet another F40. Cool!

yeah, i still think they are cool, but they are still wank :blink: especially in the rs4 with the launch sequence.

and yeah, heard the rattles, it must be a bridging thing between all the fezzas. its not real unless it rattles.

Also at Ferrari are some lovely rare machines in Rosso Corsa...

550 Superamerica, 599 and the best of all... F40!

* plus our Melbourne Ferrari's having a drink at Shell. Lots of noise as we went up Punt Rd :huh:

There are quite a few Gran Turismos undergoing pre-delivery at the moment.

They are simply stunning!

They're awesome looking cars. I saw one on the road when I was in Italy, I think I nearly snapped my neck trying to get a glimpse of it!

Spotted this today while working a cilents house....

It's a 1971-2 Aston Martin DBS V8

Details of it are here...

http://www.astonmartins.com/v8/dbsv8.htm

This car was in mint condition, the pics don't do it justice....and it sounded like the world was ending when it (eventually) started. The owner told me he was the 3rd owner and all the miles on it were original!!

The poor thing hasn't been started for over 2 months, so there was a little smoke, but geez it sounded so nice.... and it just looked so sexy. He also told me he dosen't drive it much, as he only get about 10 miles to the gallon :D I had to decline a drive due to work :x :cry: :cry:

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
