I thought the guy ran his own business? There was a post on one of the Facebook groups showing a bunch of supercars roaming the streets of Melbourne with this one included. The guy who owned an R8 ran the business DoYouEven (which has over half a million Facebook likes) and I'm assuming this guy is into something similar.

Some nice cars out and about during the GP weekend.

Apologies for horrendous photos. I've never shot at night before, and we'd had a few beverages at crown before heading out into the evening.

It's a bit of a tradition for the Ferrari Club to head out to Lygon street after raceday for dinner. Pretty lackluster this year, only about 6-7 cars there. Last year there was probably almost 20+

Still, wasn't all bad :D

Also, was at qualifying on saturday. Peaked over the fence of the Mercedes corporate area and saw an SLS Black Series they had on display

Also saw my first F12 in the flesh at the GP

Just saw number plate "2" on a grey Ferrari on Toorak Rd.

Curious if the owner would feel elated pulling up next to number "1" or a sense of inferiority...

number 1 used to be on a 997 porsche turbo. guy had it up for sale and photos were taken at his villa. price did not include plates (obviously)

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
