Was back in Sydney over the weekend for a wedding. Anyway when walking from China Town to the Rocks at around midnight these are the following cars i saw, in order that i saw them

- Yello Dodge Viper , 1st one i have ever seen on the road

- Yellow 355 Convertible,

- Yellow Lotus Espirit S4

- Yellow Lamb Murcilago (Spelling???)

... all yellow and all worth serious bankroll, have to say is take the Viper then the Lotus, but wouldnt complain if i had any of them.

I honestly think that part of owning a Ferrari is just enjoying that motor spin up.

I mean I honestly would have a better day at work if I could spin up the 3.5 litre v8 every morning and frighten the kids at the bus stop and annoy the neighbours.

Wonderful sounding motor.

I wouldn't bother with Porsches and Vipers.

T.

in my area, which i thought was predominantly students & the like, i see an alarming number of diablos & the occasional 360. dont know what they're doing in the newtown/stanmore area..

phat sounding cars though. 1st gear seems to go forever

I work close to the Westin Hotel in Sydney. Whenever you are in the city, take a walk past there and check out some of the weapons parked in their driveway. There are often 2-3 brand new Ferraris there - I think some Ferrari dealer must put people up in the Hotel for the night and deliver them there.

I have seen (parked in a row)

Red 355GT

Yellow 360 Modena

Red F50

Other cars I have seen there:

Red/orange Porche GT3 Turbo

At least 4 different Porche GT2 Turbos

Several Maseratis

Aston Martin DB7

Nissan Skyline R33 GTST M-Spec (mine) :)

Other less interesting cars like Bentleys and big RR tanks

....the list goes on

The guy in the 355 was by himself doing laps, man if i had that car id be going up Bells Line of Road or Putty Rd etc, not at 5km/h down George Street.
Their are no women walking up n down the Putty Rd, I'd be doing what he is :boobies2:

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
