Ok i know its not a super car but its special, and the fact that i am sure they still dont sell it brand new until october I think.

But this morning i saw the new BMW M3 V8. in dark blue colour. I thought i was imagining, but it was it had the signature quad exhaust pipes, the power bulge on the bonnet, the funky M alloys and the M side vent thing what ever its called. I know its a real M3 is cuz 1) a middle age guy was driving it and 2) he turned into the BMW head office in mlugrave.

sorry no pics was in traffic :-(

I know Poite - sorry.

The Zonda is a true work of art. Absolutely amazing car - albeit a bit quiet down the straight.

Was an eventful day - it seems that walls hurt no matter how expensive or rare the car is.

Other exotics in attendance were... 996 GT2, 996 GT3 RS, 360 CS, 360 Challenge racecar, Elfin Streamliner, plenty of other Porkas and an old 355 Challenge.

We had the Atom, Exige and Evo out today - from all accounts the Atom causes a bit of brown underpants early on, but then as the excitement builds and confidence increases - your sphincter tightens and sucks the brown back up again. A true wonder of science!

:huh:

    • My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.
    • Fark the AFM card and Nistune, Haltech Nexus S3, DBW, cruise control, flex fuel, dis dat.  
    • It's most likely the bolt/bush where the cover bolts back wore and allowed cover to move forward.
    • Still haven't put the injectors and R35 AFM in so we can tune the bloody thing for the HG highflow it got mid last year! I think I can forecast the upgrade path to a bigger twin scroll, external gate, Haltech, flex setup, Samsonas, dis dat, etc will be .... a while away!
    • Should have taken that opportunity to slot in a twin scroll turbo setup. Maybe next time.
