Hmmm, a big list here:

Audi - RS2 (in co-operation with Porsche, mid 90's); RS4; RS6; A8 and A4 Turbo quattros (especially the Avant). Oh, and the original quattro sport from the old days of when Audi took over rallying. Maybe an allroad quattro in either 2.7V6TT or 4.2V8.

BMW - any M3 (E-30, E-36 or E-46), especially the E-46 CSL; the M5 (E-34, E-39 and the new E-60); the E-34 540i with the 6-speed manual (super-rare and very quick), and any recent or current 3 or 5 in "Mafia-spec" (all black, dark tint and lowered over a big set of wheels - NOT chromies though). Maybe even an X5 4.8is.

Honda - wouldn't mind an Accord Euro or the original DC2 Integra Type R, and would love an S-2000, but that's about it as far as Aussie-spec stuff goes. Maybe a new Odyssey, slammed over 18s.

Suzuki, Kia, Proton, Daewoo, Daihatsu or Hyundia - ummm, I'll pass, thanks!

Mazda - a new 6 or 3 (SP-23) would be nice, and an old school RX-2 or RX-3, or an MX-5SP or RX-8 would be great.

Mitsubishi - any Lancer Evo from gen 5 onwards.

Renault - WilliamsRenault Clio F1; RenaultSport Clio or RenaultSport Megane 225. Oh, and the insane mid-engined V6 Clio.

Volkswagen - the Mark IV Golf R32

Mercedes-Benz - pretty much anything except the SLK with the genuine, factory AMG stamp on it - C36, C32, C43, and the new C55; E55; CLK55; CL55; SL55; and S55.

Subaru - the new Liberty GT and 3.0R-B.

Toyota - any JZX80, 90, 100 or 110 in Tourer V spec; a JZA80 Supra with no rear spoiler and a mild kit, slammed over some nice wheels; an IS200 or 300 (once again, slammed over some nice wheels); GS300 (w/ wheels and lowering); LS400 or 430 (same again); AE-86 hachi-roku, AE-82 twin-cam, AE-92 SX/GTi/FX-GT/GT-Z or ZZE-122 Corolla (with the 2ZZ-FE Celica motor); JZZ-30 Soarer and SW21 MR2 GT turbo.

Lotus - Exige or Elise 111R, and the last of the Esprit turbos and the V8S.

Pagani Zonda.

Koenigsegg.

Lamborghini - the new Gallado.

Maserati - all of the GTs, especially the original 3200GT with the boomerang LED tail-lights.

Ferrari - 308GTS, 328GTS 355 and 360 Modena, and some of the old stuff like the 250 and 275 GTO California Spyders (as seen in Ferris Beuler's Day Off).

Aston Martin - the old James Bond DB5 and DB6, and the current DB9 in all its various guises.

Nissan - well, the Skyline of course (KPGC10, KGC10, FJ20ET DR30, GTS-X or GTS-R R31, any turbo R32, R33 GT-R, any turbo R34, V-35), Stagea RS-FOUR, 350Z, RPS13 180Sx or S15 Silvia, N14 GTi-R, or "Mafia-spec" recent edition Gloria or Cima.

Porsche - maybe it'd be easier if I mention the ones I don't like - no, wait - there aren't any!!!

So many cars (and so many more), so little time/money... :P

Old ones...

Lamborghini Miura

Fezza Dino / 250s

BMW 3.0CSL (no not the E46M3CSL) / E30 M3

Skyline KPG10

Porsche 356 / Speedster

Porsche 930 Turbo - BEAST

Merc 300SL Gullwing

Merc 300SEL 6.3 - the original gangster merc grunt machine

Lancia Delta Integrale EVO

Geez i feel like an old bastard.

Any exotic.

In particular, the new mini lambo (cant spell it)

Any Porka, hell I drove down the coast to see the GT when it was down there. *note they have BIG BIG BIG MOFO breaks!*

Bentlys, I really like them a lot.

Any cefiro, but thats just to see what the others look like.

And finaly anything rare, like say a HSV SV99, that sorta stuff, limited runs of cars.

Two Id like to note tho are I once saw a Audi quatro 5cyl turbo, like the old B class rally ones, but the road going version, I nearly had to pull over. And the flat nose 911 I once saw (rather rare).

Add to that any sleeper, I luuurrrvee the sleepers.

Any 25yo+ car thats either clean & original or heavily worked (esp Toranas, GT's & BMW 3.0CS's)

4.2 or 3.8L Series I Jaguar E-Type's before they became fat & ugly for the US market.

Any BMW with M or Alpina in its title.

Any car where it is obvious that performance is first & everything else is a comprimise such as Lotus 7 replicas, Italian supercars, etc.

Any car that looks reeeal hard to control on boost :D

.

Have u ever actually seen one on road in Australia though?

I haven't seen one yet but they also have not been here for very long....

I am sure after being at the motorshow that someone with too much money should pick one up....

I think there are a lot more exotics down in melbourne though....

me?

well, an obvious would be a Skyline..LOL

but other notable cars would be:

Datsun 240Z (ghosts from the past, that have been claimed by the sands of time)

Lotus Esprit S4S (yah, the I-4 turbo one)

Lambourghini Diablo or Gallardo (saw my first Gallardo last month)

Ferarri 360 Modena (the red one i saw last year on the street........left me speechless)

NSX (only sometimes though, because i actually see them quite often)

FD RX-7 (actually more rare than the NSX here)

MKIV Supra TT (yah, rare but common now; and riced out after the first F+F movie)

S2000 (i like the car, but see it a bit too much)

SE3P RX-8 (makes me think, "hey, want to race? i wanna show you something." LOL)

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
