or the F40.... IN THE 80's!

But that was cool, cause the outer 2 were from the turbo's, and the middle one was from the wastegate.

Don't think that PM35 has a wastegate :rolleyes:

Except that the 458 isn't turbo... stupid nostalgia trip!

its strange that most car companies are now producing a retro model of some description. Some work out OK I reckon, but some are just dogs.

If Ferrari wanted to put 3 exhausts on the 458, they should have put turbos and a wastegate on it!:whistling:

I wonder if when F1 goes back to Turbo's in 2013, companies hero cars will then become turbo again- like the 80's?

Funny how Ferrari get away with it when they put them on a 458 Italia...

Difference is;

1. Ferrari 458 is beautiful (and I'm a Lamborghini guy!)... although I don't really like the rear lights

2. The exhaust is in the middle of the 458

3. It has a specially designed rear bumper designed to "work with" the 3 tipped exhaust

4. Not styled similarly to a Volvo :P

on the topic of tires. which im not very good at calculating as I have No f**kin idea on how the calculations work.

if on the stock 18" ARX wheels i have 245/50R18's which is the standard rolling diameter for the ARX, and I wanted to go to 19" x 8.5 - pretty much same as Bbenny's wheel, what tire size would I need??

I want to stretch the tires a little to.

i tried searching a calculater, but i dont even know where to start!

I like this one: http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html

or this one:

Damn the standard ARX tyre size is 245/50?

If you going 19's in 8.5 I reckon 245/35 or 40

If your gonna stretch it a little go 225....lol

235/35-19

    • Spotted in Adelaide last week.... mine! New to me two weeks ago.. love it!
    • Congrats on the career change!  I did something similar at the start of the year too, left IT / corporate after nearly 2 decades. Soooo when's the motor coming out for the spark plug change?
    • Hi guys, long time no post as per usual! It's been a busy year so far, the biggest thing being a new job.  After 28 years in the automotive industry I decided it was time for a change.  I was losing faith in the industry and where it's heading.  Now in a completely different industry (electrical) working for a company that manufacture water pump contollers.  Not as sexy as cars but it's an interesting,  challenging industry. I now don't work Saturdays which is a bonus!  It's still 50-55 hours a week but having Saturdays ack after 28 years of working them is awesome!   No news on the GT-R but i did decide to add some more JDM goodness into my life....           1990 300 ZX.  She's not perfect but for a 35 year old car she ain't bad!  Just going to tidy it up a bit and enjoy it.  It's currently auto but will start stockpiling everything for a manual swap. It WILL distract me even further from the GT-R but im hoping not for too long! It somewhat proves a 6'8" freak can fit in a 300 ZX.  Sort of...  I drove it home from the previous owners house in Melbourne via Black Spur and Merton Gap (2 awesome bits of Victorian twisty road) and it was amazing!  Handles so well!!!   I don't think it would be worthy of a full build page but I'll post up some of the upgrades here if anyone is interested?  Cheers guys!
    • End game is to: - Remove all the slop from old worn parts - Adjust setup so that the wheels actually fit and the car is drivable (currently it is not because of the extreme rubbing on the guards).   Progress over the last couple of days, removed the rear hubs! Next steps: - Buy bushings - Replace bushings/bearings on hub - Reinstall
