Audi R8 on the RE customs dyno last night. That car is so sexy... carbon fibre finish is superb

Yellow Ferrari F430 in southbank on kavanagh st yestrday. sounded TUFF!! :wave:

that r8 was a pleasant surprise when i came to get my car. sounded so sweet too

Maybach in the little off-street street-level car park in Lt Bourke St east (the less busy half of Chinatown), the one next to the LAN cafe. Didn't think one even existed in Melbourne. Wish I had my camera with me lol.

mazda 626 wagon in geelong yesterday, sporting a very nice body kit just revealing enough cooler core. lowerd black wheels on white car, and looked like a carbon fiber tail gate.

very much a sleeper

Not sure if it belongs in this thread, though? I wouldn't look twice at a 626.

" Super-spotted Thread, Things you don't see every day... "

dont see a 626 everyday that someone has put time and money into it, and stuck with what they have and built on it....

I've never seen a modified Lada in oz either, but I wouldn't be interested in it. I can definitely appreciate the amount of work an owner has to put in to modify a non-popular choice of vehicle, god knows I spent years researching and saving up to twin turbo my old 3L Magna, but that doesn't mean it's a good car. And I agree that a modded 626 definitely is not something you see every day.

blue rolls royce phantom drophead coupe parked in my street in ivanhoe

and a burgundy rolls royce phantom coming out of a street around the corner from me also in ivanhoe

Now that's more like it! :Drool:

Never knew Ivanhoe was so upmarket.

    • I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.
    • Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.
    • Thanks @jtha7 I will have a look around tomorrow but it is a prick of a spot. These are some photos i tried taking 
    • I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
    • Hi @Chupapy i had several leaks from coolant pipes being corroded, i also had one leak on back of the head onto transmission. For me that leak was from the turbo water line. Follow the line to the back of the head The hose and metal pipe had perished these are the best pics I took of it at the time
