Welcome to the AMG club.........Thats a mean looking machine.

That pipe is going to sound good, will have to put a louder one on my 6.2L so I can still hear my engine!

when are you getting a G wagen munro??

Nah, Im happy with my E63 AMG.

Besides, I've got a new metallic black Land Drover Discovery 4 on 20s for towing duties. Martin just tuned it to around 640nm.

Seb has pretty much bought the craziest 4WD money can buy....................its going to look sick down Rundle St.

Dare you to get some mud on it.

congrats on the g

i drove one last month (non-amg), along with a few other 4wds, but all were a bit too ott for me - i bought and sold an RR Vogue Supercharged within a few weeks because the body roll was really unnerving and had this weird driving position where i felt i was sliding forward out of the seat when braking and turning

i ended up going with a 12 FJ, surprisingly little body roll, and this way i wont be too upset when i hit the rocks and come away with bruises - first time doing the whole off -road thing

Not sure if there are too many advantages to be had with a larger plenum domino

The jury is still out on that one with VR38. There are companies making them, but look for some hard data :)

(GTR manifold is a pretty nice thing out the box)

Words simply cannot be used to express how great this is!

I got goosebumps when I saw that pic above ^ in the engine bay, looks stock!

I dont think theres anything on the roads that will be able to match or come close to it!

reliability is on our side

Sam, agreed. From what I've seen on YouTube and US boards the Lambos are geared for 100-200 MPH runs etc whereas R3s are pretty much good at everything you could conceivably want from a street car: drag, circuit, street. Personally I am not interested in the flying mile type of events.

What intrigues me is the G6 tranny. I've never had a car with two pedals ...

Building the rest of the cars support systems around the engine at the moment Mark - god only knows you must know the feeling! :)

Carrying out centre exit exhaust system, twin mount rear vent coolers (trans/rear diff), secondary front mount oil cooler

Triple pump fuel system, all new lines, transmission bracing, front differential bracing, the list goes on.

Turning the key on it and tuning it should be the simplest part of the equation.

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
