Are you after Mini's, Kombi's and Beatle's in particular? Or other cars...

I gota Skyline, my friends got a Alfa Romeo and a VW Golf GTi...

My dad has a mga twin cam 59 model and my father in law has mach 1 gt cortinas. And a 69 mustang thats left hand drive..

That is definately worthy of a photoshoot, up there with Concorde and the some of the world's greatest fighter jets! :sorcerer:

How can someone be urgent for a calendar 12 months in advance?

Because the calender has to be put togther and signed off, approved, printed and put out to be sold long before the end of the year. Most companies like to have the following years calenders all sorted long before the end of the 2nd qtr of the year.

Jeez, I only offered exotic car calendars in late nov/early dec - maybe that's why sales sucked... or perhaps the product did. :)

Joelio - will dig up his number and pass on to you tomorrow.

Ash - you know it's sad when you hang out on our forum instead of your own :)

Speaking of Supercar Calendars though, have you seen the one Ecurie did in the UK?

I'm getting members to send me photos of their experiences with our cars for a calendar/coffee table book to be printed for Xmas 2008. Depending on how my content is progressing, I might need to bribe you shutterbugs with cars in return for some happy snaps and 'fabricated' adventures :)

Nice. So do I have to start preparing some '09 stuff now to make them worthwhile? I wonder if folks go for "financial year" calendars... :)

Oh well, got a few to choose from... http://aussieexotics.com/photos

There is a vw place in croydon, I'm sure they have some nice examples....I'll try and get there no.

my boss has a rad little beetle fully restored, and another one one nearly completed.. oh and a cobra.. but I doubt he'd be interested .. lol.. great help that is.

    • Reading through the engine service manual their advice is do a cylinder balance test. Unplug one injector at a time and see if the idle drops a consistent RPM. You can also do this using a Consult cable which is easier. They also call for unplugging the power transistor, then with the engine off and the fuel rail unhooked from the manifold verifying that you have good fuel flow (even injection, no dripping/leaks, etc) when you twist the CAS by hand. Also verify the spark by pulling the spark plugs and allowing the plugs to ground and turning the CAS by hand. I would also start doing the sensor checks and idle valve checks in service manual. Make sure the MAF tests reasonably, the intake air regulator is sane, etc. You may have to get new spark plugs.
    • This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.
    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
