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.

    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm. 
    • Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
