Dear P1,

Please tell your members to refrain from trying to race a POS silver R32 GTSt when they are in the white GT3. :rolleyes:

If we had got door to door i was going to say "James wont be happy for you to lose to the Silver Bullet " :P LOL, though i think i may have been kidding myself that i could have perhaps been quicker. If only i wasnt such a candy ass and given it a go :)

Haha - when was this?

I often regale (just for you Snowy) Members with tales of our adventures in the Bullet. It has become something of legend! Now officially the 3rd loudest car ever.

I wouldn't have been surprised if the driver folded under pressure when shown the power of the RB20.

Which reminds me - Snows: the GT3 is getting the 'sports mode' exhaust valve fixed tomorrow. It might need a quick run down to Anglesea to check if its working properly.

Will keep you informed.

BTW TB - you would LOVE the Koenigsegg. It's got the most stupid 'pre-flight' setup ever, smells like avgas but holy crap is it loud!

We can't drive it on the road though, so Richard and I had to pretend in the showroom. Brrrm brrrmmmmm...

It was this afternoon in Southbank, he was darting around behind me taking to the tram tracks like he was going to blast past me. :) I outfoxed him with the lights as i gated it through the yellow...as soon as i saw he didnt follow i cursed myself for not sticking with him :)

And i really hope the CCR is "take me in the kitchen and suck my dick" special :P My hopes are oh so high for it

Hehe - I shall have a word with Rob in the morning :)

I spoke to him this afternoon to arrange collection, and he was saying he had a hard time getting time in the car - as I dropped it off on Friday to his wife and she loved it and didn't want to give it back!

God, if you read this - we need more like her please.

Aaaah, didn't know you guys had acquired it... makes my comments on AE a little outdated. :)

So is that the token CCR in the country? The one that the Sydney fella wanted huge money for....or has another come in the past 5 months or so?

I wonder if the GT3 driver saw the "P1, cant join em, then beat em" sticker in the window...hence the tail gating. Or maybe it was the token drive he got all weekend :)

..i will add. That white GT3 is a gorgeous car. Im not sure whether i would take it or the silver and orange 997 GT3RS i see around the traps on my runs ???? Hmmm :)

Yep - it's the black CCR.

Yep - it's in our new Sydney showroom.

Yep - Richard has the keys.

And have I mentioned that it's loud?

As far as us acquiring it... well, I wouldn't go editing posts just yet Ash.

I don't know who the current owner is, but I know who it isn't. And it's still for sale for $800+

Pix below...

TB : Haha - I forgot about those stickers! Does the Bullet still have the Juz-spec sticker upgrades on it?

The white GT3 does look awesome. It's the new black you know...

BTW, I have a black RS in the shop at the moment (display only) - why don't you pop in tomorrow and say hi?

Juz spec came off last weekend. :) So did some of the paint :)

Getting a few quotes this week for a re-spray. Want it to look mint for F1 and its new life as a street car :P

...i will have a sleepless night thinking about the CCR. Looking at the colour and roofless stance. I think you will need an Adam West mask when driving :)

Senf*ckingsational. I don't understand why the few supercars which are actually registrable on Aussie roads just don't get any sales! There's so many $600-800k cars on the road nowadays, why at least a few haven't stumped up for something truly unique like a Kegg or Zonda is beyond me.

Well, when I spent time researching it last year it seemed likely that it would never see light of day.

Someone posted this pic of it out on some neighbourhood street last year.

    • What bedding in procedure did you use?   When you say stutter, what exactly do you mean? Like it feels like someone letting go of the brakes momentarily and regrabbing them again to get you to stop? Re-reading your post, and that is what it kind of makes me think you're explaining, like theres a little bit of a jolt, likely just as you're reaching a stop. I've only had this issue once. And if its caused by what caused mine, you will want to get the car up on stands again and check it over. Mine was a case of a caliper mounting bolt coming out and letting the caliper rotate on the other remaining bolt and gave play in a wheel as it came to a stop. But not every stop either!
    • Yeop... binned it   This will be a summary will not many pics atm and cbf  Fixed the samsonas - it was totally munched Put a new precision 7675 T4 on with proper split pulse mani Got to Sydney to get to car - drove to canberra to get racecar - drive back to sydney that night Next day all day at Plasmaman putting on new clamps cleaning some things up and adding another large engine oil cooler sitting at the rear above diffuser to keep things cooler Next day - Tuesday - on Dyno - killer wikid awesome pumped out really good numbers - more mid range and on lower boost levels Wednesday - first prac - all day again getting the suspension right - had to borrow front suspension again - out do a lap come in - out do a lap - in - what i had just couldnt handle the load at the more consistent higher speeds - got a lap in at the end of the day that was pretty reasonable  Put it this way that lap wouldve had me in 4th in Pro am for the whole event - with only 700 hp and used tyres Thurs first official prac day - lap out warm up - then entered a hotlap with above setting and 80% effort took corners 1,2,3 and into 4 car felt awesome -  rear came around out of nowhere bang into the wall near front on at whatever 140 kmph Done, over, gone Just one of those how did that happen apparently as all indications show nothing out of the ordinary Got to spend the rest of the time at the event like I hadnt done before - was actually Ok mainly as I had my family and my boy is 9 and got treated like a rockstar Long trip home, lost a trailer wheel in nowhere land, X5 airbag suspension gave up half way across nullabour and rode on bumps stops (its now completely fine) had to do a 19 hr drive day on day 3 as accommodation got screwed up so just had to keep driving till found a town with some Now to reassess - hopefully the motor and other things are OK but yet to be seen too. There is no easy fix there is no i'll just order that part and get it sent - we'll have a talk to people see what can happen and what the go is but at minimum its rebuild from scratch struts forward and alot of time effort and $ should and if I return and if but maybe/ when  I have the cage tied into the front strut towers - if I didnt have that things couldnt been worse you can say its just a front end but if you know what goes into these cars... you'll know what that actually means in reality   Car was very fast. Disappointing we just didnt get to show it Effort doesnt win you races though     Apparently this is motorsport !  
    • Thanks, will do that.  Thankfully they still feel great.
    • Yeah man, absolutely. You can try pushing me all the way in swapping the R34 for an E9x M3 
    • It's almost certainly going to be some amount of pads compound transfer onto the rotors. It will probably go away after you've run them for a bit. If not, pull it all out, lightly sand the rotors, scuff the pads, and rebed.
