That's the one where the bumper half fell off it when he left the pits last year if I recall correctly? Must admit I smiled at the pic, but not laughed.

How were the '35s being driven Kev? Hard or conservatively?

Genuine Fastback Eleanor super snake (the 700hp version) like from "Gone in 60 seconds" sounded like the world was ending as it came down punt road, with the whine of the charger. Followed by a black Countach, i think its the replica that everyone keeps seeing around.

Canary yellow Lotus Esprit V8 parked on Russel St around 1330 today. Black plates were [XQUSIT] or something similar. The paint job was perfect and literally glimmering.

Almost every 2nd guy who walked passed was checking it out or taking photos of it. Nice to see a sexy, English non-Aston car getting that attention. Owner obviously spends a lot of care and attention.

Hehe - it's actually Norfolk Mustard, and it's an S4s not a V8 - THE best version. It was me and a mate out and about today while I was in Melb, we were actually over at Louis Vuitton across the road - he's in the doghouse with the lady so he had to buy her an expensive pair of shoes :P

And btw yes - this Esprit gets driven like it's stolen, and is a concours winning car, no better caretaker for it.

The car should have a decent photoshoot soon, until then: http://aussieexotics.com/forum/ferrari/the...g20709#msg20709

Within 24hrs

On my way home;

Yellow Galliardo (again)

Ferrari Modena (red - duh!)

Lamborghini Diablo (black)

At shops near my work (Mt Eliza);

Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead (THAT has a PRESENCE!)

3x Porsche Cayenne Turbo's (they are everywhere around here)

2x Aston Martin DB9 (one black, one "brittish racing" green)

Just ridiculous.

Wow... you're one lucky bastard :) . Pure car porn.

Sorry for mis-identifying your ride on so many counts lol. Does your mate drive the Testa in the photo? Geez... LV shoes. Had to have done something pretty bad.

    • 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
