Either the plate is MCLF1 or BIGMAC.

It's usually at the GP each year. It lives in a block of apartments just behind the Hilton.

+1 for Baron25 to be banned for the most stupid question ever.

The plate is MCLF1 - think is the only one here. Soooo cool.

It's probably not registered to drive on the streets but like in the dude in Syd with the F40 just pays the fine every time he gets caught driving an unregistered veichle.

If you can afford those cars you can afford the fines. :)

MCLF1 was the plate of the one I saw in St Kilda some months back. Very nice car indeed and I still have the article from the UK when Rowan Atkinson wrote his one off all those years ago (in one of many boxes I hope!). :P

Cool pics Joel too! My mate has that Fiesta, I couldnt believe they renamed it to the Festiva until I clicked it and saw the plate actually said Fiesta, just your dodgy renaming! ;)

    • People still have Skylines? I thought they're non-existent now. 
    • Harness update time have had great fun and learnt so much already so far with this project. I started off making both the ignition and injector sub harnesses in the hope any mistakes i made here aren't as hard to undo and learn from as the main harness.  A cool comparison of the old harness using presumably TXL wire and the new which is using Tezel. Also opted to use DTM plugs to keep the whole setup as neat and tidy as possible and tucked the wiring under the coil bracket to try and keep it all from sticking out too much. Although the injector harness, I'm not overly happy with as I'm still using the rubber boots that are supplied with the type of plugs it just looks ugly and sticks out like a sore thumb with the white identifiers so a slight redesign may be done.   Then it was main harness time and most importantly trying to route it nice and away from the heat it will use the OEM heater hose routing which is no longer present to keep the harness up high and secure. it's amazing how much smaller this harness is able to be compared to the old one. plugged everything into the emtron and with the help of the tuner again attempted to start it up and instantly fired up and running smoothly on all 6 which was a big shock to myself. So still some routing and adjusting to be done for the final fit up and installing a knock sensor harness plug which is in the post all has gone surprisingly well.     The old harness for shits and giggles.
    • They do that at random every now and then, with almost no detectable cause. Mine has done it a couple of times (over 25 years!!). Never worked out why.
    • I don't post on here and have been lurking for some time now. Many of the topics have helped me out more times than i can count. I was racing yesterday (11/9) and blew a front right CV shaft. I have spares so I popped a new one in. A thread i read previously said to check the engine mounts if you blow a front CV. Upon inspection, the front right mount was completely separated from the upper plate. This discovery saved me time and money, because i would have blown another CV if i went back out. Just wanted to thank you guys and wish everyone luck with with their builds. (Now if we could only come up with a solution for my power steering belt flying off after hitting the rev limiter, lol)
    • Either way he still need those style of spacer to go into the manifold because the photo he currently has is not going to work
