they are too small and over priced for what you get is the primary reason i can think of.

i actually dont mind the z4 myself but its a really niche market a pure two door, not to dissimilar to the slk mercs nice car but strict 2 seater is hard to go for when you have 3 series coupes of c class coupes etc

SLK and Z4 are good fun and practical if you don't need to carry passengers. Bit overpriced new though, especially the Z4. Second hand SLK are a good bargain, speaking relatively that is.

Hadn't seen the RCF before you lads mentioned it, I like.

Can't decide what to do car wise...

C63 would be sick (I assume, having never driven or been in one)

Some of the beamers look sick, 335, the M1/1M or whatever it's called...

But then there's the issue of needing a tow car/ute for my track bike and maybe a jet ski or boat...

can strongly vouch for c63 amazing to drive sound is so addictive its actually unfair.

335 is not in the same class imo still an absolute weapon fast, refined maybe even say the interior feels a bit nicer but probably subjective. to truly compare c63 has to be m3 (speaking of which one in altona meadows going cheap 79k with fk all kms) cos v8 > 6cyl

1m is a cool little car but i wouldn't consider it in the same line as the other two options its much smaller, still fast but almost seems like a novelty car given how rare it is etc. Never been in a 1m though having said all that just a 135.

for what its worth the new 235i about to come out is a very very attractive option 0-100 4.8sec (i think it was) making it .2 slower than the M4 and 79k brand new nothing comes close for the money. Suppose you'd have to see what options you'd need on top but brand new > 4-5 year old no warranty on something like a c63.

RCF is apparently going to be as good as the m4 - having said that the RCF will likely have 10 times the features of the m4 for less but be interesting to see when its out i think the lexus looks hot as wont be in my budget though so hoping the 3.5ltr 6cyl one will be *fingers crossed*

nice deal save quite a bit with the servicing etc, the best feautre IMO is unlocking the car at night / underground carpark and the welcome home lights up car turns heads like no tomorrow lol

love dem gimmicks.

havent seen that feature yet!

i look forward to it :P

Pics of Audi?

i dont take delivery until next week but its the same as this pic i found online..

wanted a black one but couldn't get one with those wheels for a fair while so went with the white

oh man you'll love it you go the xenons and led's yeah? just leave headlights on auto and jump out at night / jump in at night and the magic will happen as long as you got the feature set to on - should be as standard.

nice i love those rims mines the older model so got the 19" Y arm style was gonna change em over but cbf don't think ill keep it much longer

like this -

yeah thought of a new holden/ford as an option but I want something different that you don't see everyday/every man and his dog has..

Maloo/GTS/whatever the top FPV ute/sedan is these days would be alright and would be brand new as opposed to a second hand c63, but they're pretty common...

Maybe I'll settle for a regular ute/tow car, as in not even an SS etc and go all out on the other one..

I thought that was the issue? This isn't my bias opinion, but if I was looking for competition for the 1m the a and cla 45s would knock it for 6.

I heard a v8 a6(?) go past and I needed to go home to change my pants

But you just can't go past the c63 for noise, as Alex said, it's frustratingly addictive and makes you want to be in it all the time

    • Hello, sorry for being late to join the discussion, but my clock just died on me.   Ive tried to look at Michaels digital clock repair.docx and it doesnt work maybe the file has expired.   Please let me know if you can re upload it or take some youtube videos to show us how to get the clock installed? thanks
    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
    • My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
