Parked in Earlwood was this F355 GTS - still one of the prettiest (and by far one of the best sounding) Ferraris ever made IMO.

funny story about that one :) that poor F355 is the biggest lemon made for city driving (typical early 90's ferarri) :P always see him broken down in petersham, fanning the bonnet :P can't expect a supercar like that to do well in traffic conditions though

completely agree with the look and sound though, actually looks like a ferrari unlike more current models :)

Really... Man I thought by that stage ('94-'99) they were more or less pretty robust, much better than earlier models 456 and 348. All relative I suppose. "always fanning the bonnet" lol

Fanning the bonnet?

Engine is in the boot, and fanning wouldn't make a difference.

They arn't known to over-heat in traffic (not to say that it wouldn't but it is about a 15 year old car now...)

I spotted a Ferrari of some description tonight on Fitzwilliam Road in Toongabbie, of all places. I almost wouldn't have noticed it at all if I didn't have my window down as it drove past, but that sound is unmistakeable and I then looked in the mirror to see the tail lights.

Hmmm, today I saw a dark blue Maserati in roughly the same spot along Fitzwilliam Rd, so I'm wondering if it's the same person as last time.

Spotted this beauty in Hurstville.... worship.gif

It went up for sale last week, I don't know what the owner is doing with it? So far I have seen it all over sydney and others have seen it around as well so i'd imagine it has quite a lot of km's on it already for a car that was complied this year and first registered on the 19th of January (nearly 3 months old and already up for sale).

Maybe the owner realised he couldn't afford the repayments on a riced up version of an exotic? The white is different and good in it's own right, but it doesn't show off the lines and curves of the car, and the black roof just looks stupid, it is just paint not carbon fibre or anything special.

A great car that has been molested (and only 3 months old :/ ) Poor car

awww, what a waste! Makes you think what kind of other cars his/her has wasted.

Not really a supercar, but the engine is anyway.

Picked up a new daily driver yesterday, got rid of the Nazi CLS for an Alies made car.

6.0 litre W12 cylinder twin turbo.

    • So, this shouldn't be such a mission, but there were a few tricks so I thought I'd post up a DIY for it. This was on a Q50 Red Sport but I doubt any other V37 model is very different (maybe just less steps for the intake heat exchanger hoses) I pulled the radiator out to flush it because the car was running hot at the track, but obviously the same steps apply for changing a radiator for any reason including an upgrade. If you are removing the radiator, you of course need to drain and refill, so have 5+ litres of blue coolant ready. You don't need to drain the intake heat exchanger to remove the radiator but depending on your plans you may need a couple of litres for that as well. You will also need something to deal with the auto transmission lines, I used 2x 8mm rubber caps on the radiator side, and a short length of 8mm pipe on the car side.....unless you can block these lines quickly you will loose AT fluid and it may be enough to hurt the transmission if you don't refill it. Other than that....lets go... "First, jack up your car". Yes really, and put it safely on stands. If you are not confident doing that you need to give this job to a mechanic
    • If the forester is anything like our old 2007 GTB Liberty, I could near on run ling Long's and "rate them", as no matter what, it just hung to the road, even when abusing it in a hard launch in the wet, or throwing it at corners.
    • LOL, all of the CAI like Craig I just need to put a hole saw through my bumper Done and dusted, the car runs, which is nice, I'll take it for a spin when the weather clears up Just need to put the bumper back on for good
    • Brooooo Please send ABS control unit schematic Please! R33 gts25t ABS (Its two plug ecu, black and white) wire colors possible? [email protected]
    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
