Hey I spoted that Mclaren F1 too. On high St Northcote!!!!

I tell ya, it looked so vulnerable just sitting there.

Looks like Preston with the Hungry Jacks and Europcar car yard on the other side, but I'm just being picky!! Great spot!

who parks their McLaren in teh ghetto? :domokun: (looks like ghetto anywayz)

hope that Camry driver doesn't floor it in reverse instead of drive when pulling out. doesn't bear thinking about.....

i would give every spare organ i could muster to drive one for a day. lol

^^OMG! F**king mad! Nice find Matt.

Thanks Jamie!

You ever seen how hot that thing is in the flesh?!

Unreal!

I nearly had an accident when driving past it. Just yanked on the ancors (and myself), just so I could get a better look at the beast. Nothing quite like it.

Hey thats twice we've bumped into each other on the way to work, how weird was that, again?

Must look sweet to see two R32 gtrs side by side, both gunmetal grey with white rims.

HAHA! I would have just parked in the middle of the street just to take a pic!

Yeah I usualy leave at about 9am, latest 9:15 to get to work, cuz that Chandler Hwy can get pretty stupid with traffic, cuz everyone want to go Fairfield that way and to go Kew, it get block with all the cars.

But yeah is cool seeing both cars at the same time! Still yours looks TUFF with the spoiler on it and can always spot it!

Saw a silver Murchie LP640 on Warrigal Road near ashwood (reg LLP640).

Poor dude nearly stalled turning right to go down the hill towards holmesgen TAFE. I was in my wife's V50 T5 Volvo with her and the kids.

He gunned it just outside the TAFE and it was fair to say the sound was enough for me to nurse a semi :D

He was doing laps of the suburb as when we were on our way home saw him on the same corner again.

P1 car at all?

Spotted what may be the same Murchie LP640 BBGTR saw 'briskly' driving down chapel street and then turning into dandenong road heading city bound late (11.00ish) on Sunday night.

How is the exhaust legal because it was quite loud?

Also spotted a black Ferrari 360 turning from Chapel street into dandenong road heading outbound at approx 4.00pm yesterday. It also had a loud exhaust that I wouldn't call legal

How is the exhaust legal because it was quite loud?....It also had a loud exhaust that I wouldn't call legal

They are 'legal' because they come fitted from the factory with a butterfly valve in the exhaust system....the epa say ok we'll test the noise of your Lambo/Porsche/Ferrari etc at xyz rpm so the manufacturers just set it to free flow after that.

Yeah what he said^^^

Yet i'd be VERY VERY surprised to see a lambo driver with an aftermarket exhaust pulled over and defected for a loud exhaust... even though a lot that i've heard are a heck of a lot louder than any turbo six with a 4" exhaust!!

hope that Camry driver doesn't floor it in reverse instead of drive when pulling out. doesn't bear thinking about.....

one day when im feeling brave and ever come across a car like that (has to be more rare then a ferrari) im going to make sure my insurance is up to date as is my rating 1 protection and plow into something like that... and after careening into it onwards into some sort of exhibition of rare paintings and artifacts and see if i can rackup close to a 20 million dollar bill which is the max insurance companies seem to have and go on about... really get my monies worth cause it just doesnt feel right not having an accident over many years not to use it at least once.

The hotties are definitely out in force now that the GP is on.

Saw the 2 Rarris outside Crown the other night.

Saw the F40 on Alexandra Parade yesterday on my way to lunch in Carlton.

Also saw a couple F430 ragtops, a DB9, and I'm not sure but I thought I saw a 599 ragtop in Lygon St. Do they exist?

Saw a few nice cars in Sydney while dropping off the Porsche 911 (997) Carrera S Cabriolet (what a mouthful). A nice black Lambo Gallardo, some nice Mercs...then got to P1 Supercars new Sydney Office. Sorry for phone pics.

There was this guy's photo....he's on the far left. Generally known as that guy from P1.

And my taxi to the Casino and the ariel atom up the front of the building

post-6392-1203728325_thumb.jpg

The taxi was of course the Fezza 360 Challenge Stradale. The only silver one in Oz.

Happy to be your taxi driver Geoff! Especially in the office runabout, the 360CS!

:D

    • 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"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
