Fliders Street tram stop on Swanston Street near Fed Square at arround 7:45am today.

Saw a Ford V8 Supercar on a tow truck and the Toyota F1 car on the tow truck right in front of it, heading towards Albert Park I guess. I was too slow to take a photo, its 2 early in the morning :down::P

Was the F1 car towed out in the open? How odd...

May have been an 08 car doing some promo work...caught a quick glimpse of the BMW or Williams (didn't get a good look at it on TV) that did the King lake demo, and it looked like an 08 spec car...

Was the F1 car towed out in the open? How odd...

yeah, thats how they transport them i guess. i saw the McLaren F1 car last year on Hoddle street, it was also sitting on a tow truck. I had a great view of the car as I pulled up next to it and took a couple of snaps on my phone. :P

I guess it may also be a way to advertise and attract people to F1 by making more people take notice that the F1 is in town.

saw something really rare today just outside work near our loading dock. it was called a redback syder the guy said there is only 2 in the world at the moment and there aussie built. couldnt get a photo but i went to there website and got a pic. he had to get it towed because it broke a ball joint or something like that.

hear is a link to there site: http://www.carbontech.com.au/photos.htm

Nice spot! Saw the Redback Spyder on Beyond Tomorrow before. Wonder if anyone actually bought one. I think the owner owns the two in existence?

Props to the builder, but to be honest 350k is a bit steep for an LS1 in a carbon chassis. I think the Joss Supercar looks so much better and is faster, for around the same money. It's also built by an aussie in his "garage". Some of you may remember it from previous motor shows.

Great job spotting the Redback though. The only super-spot that can top that I guess is of one-of-a-kind car. eg., if the sole Maybach Excelero ever comes here . Not sure what other one-of-a-kind road cars there are :blush:

Spotted one of these on my way to work...

Tell you what its not a STOCK BMW lets say that...

sorry for poor pic...

Not 100% on spelling but it was an AC Schwizer.... VERY VERY nice and sounded awesome!!!

it's not a AC Schnitzer car, his just got the bar on it, it's not a M6 so it's either a 640, 645 or 650, it's a individual color from BMW, did he still have the black wheels on it?

well had me fooled...

It had full rebadged AC Schnitzer on the boot, and also side skirts along with the bonnet badge..

The wheels were labeled BMW which were chrome / Yellow spoke...

It also sounded tough as!!

Not sure what the real deal should look like

    • Haha, i kow right? Could have bought so many cars for the same amount of money (or less) but driving Unicorn gives you at least +1mln to style 😅. Like wise man said "life's to short to drink cheap wine and drive boring cars" 😉
    • Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny  
    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
