A slightly different twist on the "Supercar"; both are bona fide Supercars of their respective eras & country of origin.

While I was out at Wisemans ferry with a mate on the bike;

And no sooner had I finished taking these; this turned up!

This had massive 2 piece rotors & Brembos and a half cage that was so well hidden I didn't notice for about 5 mins!

Nice finds Dale. I've seen that Gone in 60 Seconds Eleanor 'replica' around before and pretty sure there was actually more than one, being used for a wedding. Gorgeous car, one of the few Fords I actually like...

Good thread bump.

Saw an LFA this morning on pennant hills road. Looked ok, but I wish I had a chance to hear it put the throttle down.

Wasn't a white one was it? There was a white LFA parked behind the pits at the Bathurst 12 hour yesterday, first time I have seen one in person.

I saw a QLD rego Landcruiser towing a trailer with LFA on the side this arvo; possibly the same car inside?

Someone had to bump it, went to The Star on Saturday night and there were 7 different lamborghinis parked including that white special edition Supertrofeo (1/100 made world wide), 2 Aventadores ($900k each).

A whole heap of Ferraris and Maseratis and a few Bentleys. Economy picking up maybe???

Forgot to mention, I saw an Enzo on trader plates around south Sydney ( for the dealership there). Was about 2pm last Thursday I think.

Sounded quiet. Must not have had the wank valve open! :P

    • I thought it could be an issue because the standard plate was flexing when stressed. Maybe the original gear set will hold a bit better without flex? Last time on the dyno it made around 670nm at the hubs. Now it have bigger turbo and better intake but have not been on a dyno yet. The car is being used from family trips to drag race events. So the shifts can be a little violent. It is grinding if I shift to fast so was thinking I should overhaul it soon.
    • From the factory on RB26s there's a fitting on the intake manifold collector/"plenum" that provides pre-throttle boost signal. That's how they did it back in the day, I figure it's fine to replicate it.
    • I would be surprised if that wasn't the issue. It's probably telling you, that even if you remove the plastic liner, you may have some other clearance issues that may occur too in some scenarios. IE, tyre to guard. It looks like someone has already rolled the lip, but you may still have issues in the future IE, turning and hitting a bump etc. The fact it changes how bad it makes the noise when you are going backward vs forward is highly indicative that it's the tyre rubbing. They do make a terrible sound, even if you're only pushing a project car that has a liner hanging down on a tyre!   Has the car been lowered? If it has been, what is the measurement from the centre of the wheel hub to the lip of the guard straight up?

    • Mark's a bit smarter than people give him credit... He'd convince the person that is to become dead, to drive him to the forest first. That way his car has no evidence in it, and he's free to dispose of their vehicle permanently how he sees fit too...
