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.

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.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
