Audi R8 on the RE customs dyno last night. That car is so sexy... carbon fibre finish is superb

Yellow Ferrari F430 in southbank on kavanagh st yestrday. sounded TUFF!! :wave:

that r8 was a pleasant surprise when i came to get my car. sounded so sweet too

Maybach in the little off-street street-level car park in Lt Bourke St east (the less busy half of Chinatown), the one next to the LAN cafe. Didn't think one even existed in Melbourne. Wish I had my camera with me lol.

mazda 626 wagon in geelong yesterday, sporting a very nice body kit just revealing enough cooler core. lowerd black wheels on white car, and looked like a carbon fiber tail gate.

very much a sleeper

Not sure if it belongs in this thread, though? I wouldn't look twice at a 626.

" Super-spotted Thread, Things you don't see every day... "

dont see a 626 everyday that someone has put time and money into it, and stuck with what they have and built on it....

I've never seen a modified Lada in oz either, but I wouldn't be interested in it. I can definitely appreciate the amount of work an owner has to put in to modify a non-popular choice of vehicle, god knows I spent years researching and saving up to twin turbo my old 3L Magna, but that doesn't mean it's a good car. And I agree that a modded 626 definitely is not something you see every day.

blue rolls royce phantom drophead coupe parked in my street in ivanhoe

and a burgundy rolls royce phantom coming out of a street around the corner from me also in ivanhoe

Now that's more like it! :Drool:

Never knew Ivanhoe was so upmarket.

    • My hold point for future mods is that I want a OEM detachable hard top first, but, finding one is a pain, MX5 Mania are looking for one for me, but, as hens teeth are more common, finding one in Australia is proving problematic  I can get a OEM one from overseas, hell, you can still get new ones in 'Merica, but, shipping is a absolute killer and I cannot justify the cost, or the risk of it being damaged during transport As for the aftermarket hardtops, whilst they do the job of being a hard top, and are fine for a track car, they don't seal well (read: leak like a sieve in the rain), and you need a plastic/poly rear window, plus they are a bolt in option only and not made to be easily removed I liked how the hard top on my NB could be fitted, and removed, by myself, in less than 5 minutes I know it sounds bad, but I'm waiting for someone to write off a car with one so I can swoop in on their pain, it will go to a good home though, so my guilt of this is tempered
    • I’ve got one on mine and it’s fine, 
    • No, you don't want to plug the vacuum line, as that will turn that side of the booster into an air spring and probably make it feel worse. I'm not saying that the GTR master itself doesn't need a booster. I haven't paid attention to the GTR one to know what size it is cf the non-GTR ones. But when you think about it - they have to do the same job, which is to move a little slave piston a few mm to do what it is supposed to do, and that final action is the same on all the cars. So, it is very unlikely that the GTR MC is any different than the others, because it has the same pedal stroke and the same output requirement. The booster just makes it feel easier. I'd suggest you probably have an actual hydraulic problem. It's totally common on these old shitboxes.
    • Ye, in terms of bolting up the "Conversion" from a GT to a GTT is effectively "Use GTT parts for everything" Except the subframe itself, because you won't want a HICAS/4WS subframe. Remember your ABS system will be different too, thanks to GT being the S15 3 sensor system, instead of the R34 4 sensor system for wheel speed. I do not know how people get this to work given R34 diffs do not have a provision for an ABS sensor (they are on the tone wheels of the axles). I assume***** people use S15 gear/R34NA forever when they realize this - Or they convert it to a rear diff/axles that are R33 style which I presume has the singular speed sensor on the diff itself, but then you have to wire it all in and...and... and...
