Porsches. I'm a sucker for the Porsche flat-6 rumble.

A man with good taste! I'm also a sucker for a porker! :P

When I was in the states I would drool over a Corvette. But I almost orgasamed over Vipers. That V10 sound just has to be heard to believe!

Forgetting the cars i will only ever see in magazines or Burrows drive day it would have to be:

- any 57-65 Vette :P

- 92-96 Vette especially ZR1s and Callaways

- Tough 68-69 Camaros

- Tough 65-68 Mustangs

- 1994-Present TVRs

Or tough as nails modern track cars like GT3 Porka or Lotus Exige , TTV8 Espirit... oh if only i was rich

Yeh i think the thread went missign when the forum went down earlier in the year.

I would kill for that '69 Camaro...My Powerball winning would be well spent ...hell its even the right colour:)

I love:

Group B Rally Cars that were banned- peugeot 205, lancia 037, lancia delta s4, audi quatro.

Old Mustangs, Monaro's, Impala's and other low riders...

Alfa gtv's, all skylines, supra's, rx7's (series 4 up), pritty much most jap imports...

Did you know a rally driver names Henri Toivenen in 1986 took the lancia delta s4 round Estoril the Portugese F1 track and the time he got would have placed him 6th on the grid for the F1 that year. Saddly in Corsica Herni Toivenen died and Group B rally cars came to an end.

take it easy

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....

Well if you are in Sydney just keep your eyes OPEN :(

Article from A.I.M.S. here: http://carsguide.news.com.au/aims/story/0,...6-28977,00.html

"The three firm orders are all from Sydney, all have property development as their core business and all are in their 40s."

Looks nice in black.

Not too many S4's on Aussie roads though makaveli, but they sure were awsome cars.

They took the S4 in race trim around one of the F1 tracks in '86 or 87 (can't remember which one) & it would have qualified 6th on the F1 grid at that track that year!

    • The oil pressure sensor for logging, does it happen to be the one that was slowly breaking out of the oil block? If it is,I would be ignoring your logs. You had a leak at the sensor which would mean it can't read accurately. It's a small hole at the sensor, and you had a small hole just before it, meaning you could have lost significant pressure reading.   As for brakes, if it's just fluid getting old, you won't necessarily end up with air sitting in the line. Bleed a shit tonne of fluid through so you effectively replace it and go again. Oh and, pay close attention to the pressure gauge while on track!
    • I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.
    • Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.
    • Thanks @jtha7 I will have a look around tomorrow but it is a prick of a spot. These are some photos i tried taking 
    • I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
