Hi all

We're shuffling the fleet around - getting rid of cars that aren't getting used much (Lotus, 997 Cab etc) and updating some that are getting a few KMs on the clock (F430 Spider etc)

So, if you could pick the top 10 cars for us to have - what would they be?

Feel free to pick cars we have already, and obviously make sure they are current models and available in Australia.

I'd like to see what you think!

Lamborghini gallardo and lamborghini murcielago, theres your lambos sorted. Ferrari f430 scuderia and Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano. Theres the Ferrari's. Porshe 911gt3, not the rs as thats just to hardcore for the kind of clients that can afford this. Mercedes CLK 63 AMG, Ford GT. BMW M6 Coupe. Auston Martin DB9 or V8 Vantage and ofcourse the R35 Skyline GTR :cool:

James - it would help if you listed a couple of simple rules. Like an upper price limit as we both know you aren't getting a 599 or a Murcielago as they are too expensive which is the same as somehting like a Zonda.

So perhaps say cars in Oz under $500K

My 10.

1. 997 GT2

2. 997 GT3

3. Maserati Gran Tourismo

4. Maserati Quatraporte

5. Ferrari 430

6. Lambo Gallardo Rag

7. E92 M3

8. E63 AMG Estate

9. Shelby GT500

10. R35 GTR

Note - there's no bloody Astons :cool: I also left the R8 out since I never seem to get a chance to drive it anyways.....

Lambo Gallardo

Fezza Silver thingo that make little school girls scream wth it's trumpet exhaust

The biggins DB9

M3V8

997 GT3

997 GT3

R35GTR

SK55 AMG Brabus

GT40

R34 GTT modified.... I know where you can get one, it's silver like the Ferrari :cool:

James... what are your clients like? Do they primarily want the pose factor? or are some boy racer types who will appreciate a Exige S for example over a 997cab?

anyway, no point me numbering them cause i have never (and most likely never will) drive them

- 997 GT2

- E46 M3 CSL (I know its not made anymore but what a car)

- Arial Atom (the SC'd one... hey... someone may want to drive one... i know I would :D)

- Aston Martin DBS

- Range Rover Sport

- Any Lamborghini... 'cause its a lambo, 'nuf said

- Hire yourself an ex F1 car and take it to PI or something... im sure your members would like that.. hell.. I would :D

Widowmaker is great, but if I had to have just one Porsche... I'd take the GT3. Ideally an RS.

Yeah and thinking on it further - your clients have shown they can't even drive something as easy as a 997T, R8 or F360 without crashing it so the GT2 would only last a week before being destroyed. :D

If it were me driving them, then:

1.GT2

2.GT3

3.GT3 RS

4.F430 Scud

5.R8

6.Vantage

7.Gran Turismo

8.M3

9.GT40

10.Gallardo Supperleggera

If it was for what I perceive as your customer base, I'd take the rag top/softer version of each of those :D

Aaron - different strokes for different folks.

Some people love the GTs (Bentley, DB9 etc), some love the road-racers (GT3, Exige etc) and everyone loves the exotics.

Hehe Snows - that's so true. Vic rego WDWMKR is available too :D

Chuck in a evo 6 :D hahaha

but none the less i would love to hire any of these cars but damm being under 25 GRRR i just want a farrari for 1 night to take gf out in her dream car as i already own my one HAHA

that must hurt - like you will be in your dream car and your gf will be talking about a ferrari and how she wished you would own one.....

    • Hi 🙋‍♂️. Just bought my Unicorn but the interior need some minor work so it would match my expectations ;). I noticed it is hard to get used oem floor mats in good condition so i started to dig if there's any chance to buy set of new ones. I found two websites - nengun and amayama and it looks like one can still buy factory new floor mats in Japan, but thers a small issue. Some mats (i assume genuine, oem ones) are marked as G4900 and these are "discontinued". The ones you can buy are marked as G4911 but i have no idea if these are also oem, made by other producer or some lower quality replacements that looks entirely different. Can anyone help? 😃  P.s. there is also some strange indication - 0V005, 0V015 and 0V505. Any idea what does it mean? Would appreciate any help with this 🙏
    • Hi, Marek here 🙋‍♂️. I finally fulfilled my longtime dream - recently bought Stagea and now waiting for it to arrive in Poland. There's only few of these in my country, and one of the owners  recommended mi this forum as a source of all the info i'd need since now i own one  so here i am.  
    • Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though
    • and it ends up being already priced in as though you're just on 91RON without any ethanol. Car will lose a bit of economy as the short and long term fuel trims bring down the AFR back to stoich or whatever it is for cruise/idle for the engine.  
    • Oh, you are right. But, in Australia E10 is based on 91RON fuel and ends up being 94RON. Hence it being the cheaper option for economy cars. The more performance oriented cars go for the 98RON fuel that has no ethanol mixed in. The only step up we have left then at some petrol stations is E85.
