I dunno Alan - car looks tuff to me. Here's a better shot. I'm not a huge fan of the red red ferrari's. If I was ever stupidly rich enough to be able to get one for fun I would get one in the burgandy color they come in. I reckon that looks awesome. But anyways....

Yeah, photos came from the WRX forums.

Wonderful thread bout whether WRXs are better than Ferraris....WTF???!!!!

lol! Snowy we await your response!

Na look some people are tools. Some guy reckons because his modded wrx was able to keep up with a ferrari that a wrx must be better than a ferrari.

He suffers from delusions.

I mean last year at Sandown I chopped a 355 and in the Dutton blew off a 996 RS. But I know my car isn't better than either of them.

um...are they pulling out to overtake, or just getting a better angle... either way thats a damn nice car!

I may go out on a limb here and say that I would prefer a hard top over the convertible, I always find the soft top wrecks the cool roof lines of a coupe... examples would be the 350Z, 911, etc

Has anyone watched some of those Best Motoring videos? In every race where there is a Ferrari it has come last. It was beaten by R34 GTR's, 911 Turbos, Murcielago's and even a M3. It wasnt the driver either. One time it was Gansan and even he said that Ferrari's tend to perform poorly on the track due to the lack of 4WD. I'd still get one though.

Why are they comparing a RWD to 4WDs with just as much if not more power? That's simply unfair. As for the M3, I'm betting it wasn't a one sided fight there.

Don't get me wrong, I think they are all magnificent cars (having driven all of them bar the Lambo) but when comparing things, don't compare a fork to a spoon.

    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.
