was watching top gear on tv last night and they had coulthard farking around in a 05 RBR car and man they look and sound great. I do miss the old V10 days. they were a sweet engine. The car looked great too. the cars look a bit cheap these days by comparison. :cool:

Probably old news to most now, but the other night I watched an Autocar vid where Chris Harris drove an '06 Red Bull at Silverstone and reckoned it would waste a Veyron with only 1/5 throttle. First time he really gets on it he says "it makes the Buggatti feel like a Mazda 2!"

if you can turn passenger laps in that thing for $99 count me in.

in other news I will be in europe later this year and currently deciding between Spa (end of aug) or Monza (early sept). Monza will be easiest as it already tees up with some plans and I'll be in italy at the time. But Spa is just another level all together but it would mean having to reschedule things a bit and mean going to belgium which is a bit of a punishment really. lol. anyone seen "In Bruge"? lol.

currently leaning towards monza. it will be cool to see all the tifosi out in force. I wonder if any of them still have love for schumacher?

on the plus side if I do monza it means before it I can scoot over to germany and get some laps in on the nurburgring. yeah baby!

oh, and I've just made the choice. fark watching at spa. I'd rather fang something around the 'ring instead. I may even forget going to the monza gp too and use the money for another day of ring and then just watch it in a bar in italy somewhere.

very excited about doing the ring. just need to decide what to drive?

    • Hi, i’m making a rb25det coil loom for Vag short coil. Can anybody tell me which Ecu signal wire belong to coil number 1 and 2,3,4,5,6? The connecting switch in above pic is 8 wire i think white is for +12v and black for earth.
    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
