haha had to drive it with a sleeping bag covering it so rain wouldn't get in. (Very interesting looks from that)

The vacuum from all the glass is all scratched inside from the cyclone type bag less depository.

Can never see if its full now. Its quite stressful.

My mum's CLK does it all the time too, but their system is not as aggressive as Aston's. They stay within the confines of the car when they go off.

Still, very annoying as you can't use the roof when they go off and it's a bitch to get them back down, but at least it's free!

No i never found them sorry James.

By the time i got back from the airport there was a lot of people out seeing what happened with next door and others trying to clean it all up in the rain.

It would be hard to believe they be in one piece after something like that?

The general thoughts of the neighbours was that someone had bricked the car which is what i thought when i got the call on my way home. Strange little surprise.

Maybe that's why the Aston roof wouldn't go down. Precautionary measure before it lost its dice.

Just parked it out the front of the house.

God.... Damn... if you park a new DB9 Volante out on the street I'd love to see what you've got in the garage :thumbsup:

Oh yeah, sorry I didn't realise they were anti-roll bars. That's some vicious deployment. But twin NOS bottles in a DB9 would've been cool.

DB9 volantes have 2+2 seats right? What happens when the bars deploy with people in the back? Obviously AM have engineered for their safety as well, but from the photo it looks like they'd get a huge metal rod up their ass or something :down: lol

1. My car

2. The ROPS deploys behind the rear seat headrest

3. The roof wouldn't go down due to an electrical motor problem in the rear decklid BEFORE the ROPS deployment.

4. There were no computer activations of the ROPS - a mechanical latch failed

4. Aston Martin rear windows are NOT available as a spare part... only the roof as a whole

Drove through Toorak Rd today. Been a long time since last. Goddamn there were some good cars today...

Bright orange 911 GT3RS plates [RS911], White 911 Turbo plates [15].

Jag XKR, White R8, 2 Bentley Continentals, brunette chick driving M6.

white 911 is my boss, has heaps of the old plates, one stage we had 4 million dollars worth in the shop window, 15 i think is still for sale for $750,000

On Collins St near Spring St intersection tonight at 730 - Red Ferrari 430 parked behind a blue 612 Scaglietti (I think) with plates [480]. There were outside Nando's but kinda doubt that's where they ended up having dinner :D

Holy shizz... 4 mil worth of plates could buy me a 500 new Nissan Micras. I could start arguably the largest single-model Victorian car club right there :)

I think you mean Bourke.. they're always there at the 'mob cafe'... never actually noticed what it's really called :dry:

Some of Tony Mokbels friends hang out there

They always park in the loading zones..

It pays to be a criminal..

I think I saw James GT3 driving through Southbank yesterday at lunch.. certainly looked like his one

Oops, yeah it was Bourke.

Geez, didn't know the underworld was so.... well, exposed.

Thought they would be driving around in nondescript Mercs with tinted windows and armour plating.

    • I don't think the shuffle can damage the turbos. It only happens at low shaft speeds and loads. It's just annoying (to some people - others are tickled by the effect) and it quite possibly reduces spool performance a little bit.
    • Oh dear. The panel beating needs to be done before the filler work. Do you have a photo of the dent before you started? Hard enough to not flex and only hit the high spots?  What do you mean it was just temporary? 
    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly.
