BTW, is that a 400r bar on your r33? i'd love to see what that bumper looks like in the flesh, i like the look of the extra vents on the side.

Yep, it's a 400R bar.. I'll PM you some better pics

I can't believe some of you people are giving the Veyron shit!! It's simply the overall best car ever built.... as for not having a "proper" manual transmission, try making a gearbox that will last with this motor... Bugatti had a team of 50 engineers working for 4-5years JUST on the transmission. F1 cars trannys only have to last 1 race.... Each car costs 5million pounds to build, and they sell for under 1million... bargain of the century.... You just can't compare the Veyron to anything else, not an Enzo, Mclaren.... specially not a GTR.

Well actually each car does not cost 5 million pounds to build, but if you divide the amount of money which was needed to create this car between all the Veyrons to be produced then yes, it will amount to 5 million per car.

IMO the veyron is a engineering feat, but if i had the money I would much rather buy something else...

Ditto.. there would be a big list of things I'd buy before one of these!

how does shut up sound?

if the whole car was smashed and only have of its engine was left, it would still be worth more than any of our cars and still pull better then most. if that doesnt get your respect then you need an egyptian sidekick the the head.

can you make my sidekick a chinese one? :happy:

i don't want to sound like a spoil sport, but a crashed veyron doesn't bother me in the slightest way for a couple of reasons:

1. in my opinion, the veyron is a try-hard attempt by bugatti to make the biggest and the best. quad turbo W16, what the hell for? the koeneggsig ccx weighs nearly half as much and probably has similiar performance as a result.

2. the veyron is far too clinical for my tastes. i look at a mclaren and i see passion, emotion. same with an enzo. i look at the veyron and i see white coats, calculators and pens.

3. how would you feel in a veyron when LEEWAH or GTR-800 pull up at the lights and actually manage to keep up? not very happy(unless you are in the GT-R! LOL)

is it sour grape season already?

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
