Funny occurrence last night...I saw a massive line up of old school and super cars parked in a line, they were all silver. I was rushing to take a pic for this thread but then I woke up lol. It was a dream!

SAU is haunting my dreams :)

walked literally 2 mins to breakfast this morning in Singapore. In that time-

Grey F430

Red F458

White Murcielago SV

I was talking to a friend of mine who worked in Singapore...what a tax haven lol

- mortgage rate 2.2%

- 12% highest tax bracket

- 20% pay contribution for super and this is used to pay the mortgage + employers contribute another 12% on top

And he explains "this is why SG is covered in supercars"

Imagine retaining 80% of your nett pay :)

Yeah, agree Marko. I saw another Orange Murcielago SV tonight.

Plus there is a New McLaren MP412OMGBBQ parked outside a social club we go past every day. You can pretty much go hotel to hotel and see numerous supercars present! Even the 86 had a place at once recently- not exactly super.... Also in SG I believe businesses can claim cars as an expense to some extent- hence the big money cars.

Sirrocos seem to be pretty popular here, but there is also a small JDM scene, incl hondas, R35 GTRs, Emos, Rexes etc.

Big thing in modding cars seems to be Brakes, which surprised me quite a bit. Example today - a new model honda people mover with Rims as the only other visible mod - sporting big AP Racing brakes and floating discs. Other seemingly docile cars also have legit big brake kits - Endless, spoon, Brembo, AP, etc.

The bad thing bout cars and Singapore is the COE (cert of entitlement) costs about $90,000 for 10 years. This is additional to rego - like a licence to own a car. Think small island, loads of people. they want most people on public trans. So even a cheap car costs over $100k to buy.

Morning SG update :P

New Bentley sedan thing, New Rolls Royce sedan.

Red F458 and F430

2 R35 GTRs. One driving from Bangkok to KL, and I guess on to SG. The other was this hideous thing. Spotted in the same spot as the video.

I'd take a heavily worked R34 GT-R or Toyota Supra RZ over an exotic.

Sorry, but the lamboghini adventor is just plain ugly. Looks like some kid has gone and cut some cupboard then stuck it into a car shape.

Anyway, would be the best just destroying exotic ferraris/lambos in a supra or skyline and seeing the looks of embarassment on their face..

LOL have you even driven a highly modded R34??? If so you'd really be struggling to beat an Aventador, 2nd you will get defected in 5 minutes, 3rd reliability and comfort goes out the window, 4th you have spent around about $100k for the car and parts on a car that will be struggling to get you back $40k (yes aventador looses much more than this within 2 years but that is what happens when you buy any new car), 5th modded exotics can get away with just about anything speed and defect related, 6th the insurance premium is actually much higher on a highly modded R34 than on ALL MODERN EXOTICS (with exception to rare cars like Mclaren F1 the Zonda and the koenigsegg) and not to mention most insurance companies don't want to insure you or make you jump a bazillion hoops, 7th the most uncomfortable thing on earth and the most undriveable cars are those that are highly modded, 8th when you pull up to a set of lights and want to drag the aventadore, he will pull away from you while you just stalled your super hektik uranium/platinum/unicorn horn composite cutch and are sitting at the lights.... then the police defect you again....

Why don't you get both so you can support your view from both sides of the fence?

you have obviously never driven a properly modified GTR and have no idea how to launch it. Good suspension will be comfortable and get the power down, but having said that a 500kw Aventador is going to be seriously hard to beat by any 500+kw GTR.

The fact is, an R34 GTR has beaten a Bugatti Veyron over a mile. Doesnt matter, winning is winning. People laugh when an exotic gets destroyed...simply because exotic drivers have a reputation to live up to...where as Jap imports are the underdogs.

Anyway.....take this for example, a Supra absolutely leaving the lamboghini for dead...and the Supra seems much more driveable than the Lambo. It even gives the lambo a head start...then proceeds to destroy it.

Sorry but the fact is, an Adventor has nothing on a Supra like this....and lets not forget the 2jz is one of the best motors ever made.

Also, heres a GTR destroying an Adventador very easily...

^ those 2 above clips are absolute gold & the look on that guys face in the lambo was priceless - he couldnt come to terms with that supra.

at the end of the day - you drive what you can afford & if i could afford a european supercar...i would have 1 (but would be parked next to my gtr :))

Do you have an Enzo?, your profile things says you do.

Anyway Lamborghini owns all. The only cars i would take over a heavily moddified GTR would be an F40, Murcielago or Aventador

    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
