lhd Lambo?

that's the first time i've seen pics of graphitti in japan

yeah i think the most amazing thing about that photo is that there is graffiti and a piece of rubbish on the ground!!! There is never any rubbish on the ground in japan... it's usually spotless!

ive spotted 2 different audi r8's in blacktown in 2 weeks. didnt have time for photos because i was to busy drewling

Was one of them a greyish blue? I saw it on Quakers hill parkway a while back, silver one was at my old workplace when they first came out.

In the city a white Lambo LP460? Had 3 triangles that lit up in the tail lights. Very nice

i keep seeing a nice white R8 near my apartment in the city. it's always parked on pitt st outside world tower. seen it there 3 times in the last few weeks. they look great in white with the big carbon panels as contrast. such a cool car. have to say audi did a great job with the R8, it's a really cool car.

I was working out at Wilberforce (Behind Windsor) last monday.. heard what i thought was a ferrari coming up the street.. it turned into a high pitched drone about 10 seconds later, couldn't figure out what the fck was coming my way.. waited another 10 seconds and the first ferrari came around the corner, skidded it and flew up the street, followed by atleast another 30 i counted flogging there way out of the corner and up the street. It was an incredible site and the noise gave me the fattest boner I've had in quite some time.. I snapped a few pics on my shitty iphone camera but they're not the best quality, definently one of the highlights during my time working here down south!

Spotted something which I'm sure was a Gallardo Spyder tonight going past the restaurant on the corner of the GWH and Pendle Way in Pendle Hill, around 9.30 tonight. It had already gone past me when I noticed it, and had other cars behind it blocking me from getting a proper look.

Its kinda cheating, but i just got back from Europe and while i was there, i visited Maranello in Italy (where the Ferarri factory is). They've got an awesome Galleria there where all of the Formula 1 engines are on display, along with the Enzo and F40 (pictured) and other historic Ferrari's. I reckon the Enzo is the most beautiful car ever made.

I also snuck up to the Fiorano test track and saw the new 2009 Formula 1 car being tested.

Included is a pic of the 1986 twin turbo 1.5 litre F1 engine producing over 1000hp, and some of the latest F1 engines.

Shaun.

    • Given you're running a 2.8 and my 2.5 is not really like for like, I suspect there could be a bit more timing you could give it. What is the kW yield per degree you're putting through it? Here's my E85 map to give you an idea, where it was I could still get another 3~4kW per degree thrown at it.  
    • It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.
    • Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts. 
    • Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha
    • Not a terrible idea. But if I ever had concerns that my injectors were sufficiently dirty to be causing me a problem, they would be out of the engine and onto the actual injector cleaner/testing bench.
