what are you doin hanging around the airport?? planning a heist?? lol...if so i want in...lol :):)

Hehe, heist? Me? :)

I drive an airport shuttle :)

Hmmm. Gotta say i'm not impressed with such a pissy attempt from the USA. They never even had time to prepare power figures for the release date!

The release of the R35 GT-R really got everyone in a pickle. GT-R ftw!

That grey R8 is one of mine too!

BTW - Shaun & Sunshine - speak to Brad about the 360 CS. You NEED to go in this.

Done ;)

Btw the GT3 is on my shopping list for 2008 now :D

If you want to see supercars go to Sydney Airport.

The best are in Terminal 3 (Qantas) valet parking.

Porsche 911's, GT2s & GT3s, BMW M5's & M6's, Aston Martins DB9's & Vantages, Ferrari 599's, Audi RS4s.

And i've seen an R33 GT-R V-Spec too boys :happy:

Business execs going interstate for day trips/meetings etc

Spotted a whole bunch of Aston Martins, Porsches and various other luxo-mobiles just then, as I went with my old man to Trivett to pick up a car. All of Trivett's service centres are grouped together in Parra/Rosehill. Didn't see Samuel (WTF33R)'s car tho...

Also saw an AMG SLK about 10 minutes later - not sure if it was an SLK55 or 63 or what, but it sounded HOT!!!

I was on holidays at the time in qld for the Indy, either that or i drove the corolla to work.

me rikey very mus

(note pccb brake set-up)

i hope its there so they can strip it and spray it orange
prolly there to get the wheels colour-coded :(

Thats the GT3 RS in the wedding car line up i posted in October. PCCB is standard on the RS! The owner of the business where that pic was taken owns that and the 2 356's in the background as well. Good friend of mine (hence why i got to drive teh cayenne) . We do the mechanical work for his shop.

i see you've read the drive review as well. Supposidly crappier than a Toyota Tarago in everyway.

No i believe you are talking about the V6 Cayenne. The 283kw V8 and 368kW Twin Turbo V8 is a different kettle of fish!

But Its still a true Porsche. Turns more heads than his old 996 GT3 RS or even the 356 Speedster.

Ive said it once and i'll say it again, I'll always stand by the safety of a Cayenne. Anything Else and id be dead. (see Pic Below)

I was sitting in the front passenger seat and walked away with only a cut to the hand from the glass.

      ZF 6HP26 to RB30 block

      By ELVIS · Posted

      Hello Liam - HA - somewhere in flies - possibly I have an update, but I have been so busy, projects have taken a back seat to getting business back on track.  I will let you know the outcome, but I think I am going to go for the 8HP,  CHEERS.  ELVIS

      Thanks Joshuaho96, yes - as someone else also suggested, the 8HP seems the 'smart choice' - HA - and ZERO to do with cost, but I am sure 8 speeds will be better than 6 speeds - HA - maybe.  I will purchase a new 8HP,  Thanks.  ELVIS.

      Nobody said anything about getting a "...cheap Falcon box..."- it was JUST a question about a specific transmission.  And YOU may have a problem with not enough $ - HA - I do NOT - so please keep your comments like you are some financial guru to yourself.  BUT - much appreciated re the cost of a new 8HP and I twill probably be the way I go.  Thanks.  ELVIS.

      Most people I know in the BMW world are swapping 6HPs for 8HPs. The 6HP has a big issue with one of the clutch drum bushings wearing out shockingly early which leads to them going into limp mode going into 5th/6th gear as the oil pressure loss from the worn bushing causes clutch slip. Even with the adaptations in shifting the TCU can't bump line pressure enough to keep the clutches from slipping and burning. I've personally looked at a 335d with 6HP28 with one owner and ~90k miles on it and the transmission adaptations were way out of spec and even though it nominally drove ok I'm confident it would have needed a full rebuild sooner than later. Other than that they're fine, but the 8HP doesn't really have weird issues like this to my knowledge and they're in everything these days so pulling them out of crashed cars isn't too hard.

      R34 GT-T cycling ABS pump

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      There is an ABS pump and a few solenoids. You could trigger the front/rear solenoids with a pressure bleeder attached with a Consult 2.
