f430 on lygon st yest (surprise surprise)

355 spider at docklands yest

360 modena at century city today

damn punks and their flashy red cars - not as flashy as my yellow 1.3 ltr jazz though :laugh:

Haha I reckon Lygon St after the Grand Prix each year is the best place to go. I never knew so many Ferraris even existed in Melbourne. It's great, eating pizza and ogling Fezzas, walking down Lygon eating Il Dolce Freddo ice-cream (mmmm) and ogling more Fezzas.

Ada///M.

You sure there isn't a Porsche dealership somewhere and they were all test driving? :laugh:

You should pop in here and say hi one day Adam.

Lots-o-Porsches all the time.

Today... 997 GT3, 996 GT3 CS, 996 TT, road-registered 996 Cup Car

I will certainly have to James.

I just fear that I will have a meltdown if I come in, some seriously nice weapons of choice there.

Speak to you soon mate.

Ada///M.

Nah - that's a 57.

And yeah, hideous.

If you're dropping over $800k on a land-yacht, why in hell would you look past a Phantom?

Especially since when you roll up at the bowls club in a Maybach, people just think your Merc has been badged.

Ah - the Evade!

Snowy and I had a good chat with the guy at the motorshow. How did it run? Back in March he'd never actually driven it in anger (which seems silly for a development car). I hope he has it a bit more sorted now.

Evade it is.

He wasn't driving it too hard. He didn't seem full of confidence, as it was his first time out and it's probably like riding an explosion.

Ran it all day without any issues. I guess if you crash it, it's not like you can buy another one on the Monday.

I asked him what a replacement would roughly cost. He reckons it's about $80k worth.

James, you should challenge him to a battle with your Atom!! Just grab the keys. No one would even know. :D

... For the record, his wife also has one. Somebody wanted just a shell built for an expo, but he said he'd end up with an un-driveable shell, so someone else threw him some running gear. it's not as angry as the one in the pics tho.

    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
    • I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
    • Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
