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.

The view out from the office..... L-R Maserati quattroporte, the Porka and the Gallardo spyder

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

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
