Fliders Street tram stop on Swanston Street near Fed Square at arround 7:45am today.

Saw a Ford V8 Supercar on a tow truck and the Toyota F1 car on the tow truck right in front of it, heading towards Albert Park I guess. I was too slow to take a photo, its 2 early in the morning :down::P

Was the F1 car towed out in the open? How odd...

May have been an 08 car doing some promo work...caught a quick glimpse of the BMW or Williams (didn't get a good look at it on TV) that did the King lake demo, and it looked like an 08 spec car...

yeah, thats how they transport them i guess. i saw the McLaren F1 car last year on Hoddle street, it was also sitting on a tow truck. I had a great view of the car as I pulled up next to it and took a couple of snaps on my phone. :P

I guess it may also be a way to advertise and attract people to F1 by making more people take notice that the F1 is in town.

saw something really rare today just outside work near our loading dock. it was called a redback syder the guy said there is only 2 in the world at the moment and there aussie built. couldnt get a photo but i went to there website and got a pic. he had to get it towed because it broke a ball joint or something like that.

hear is a link to there site: http://www.carbontech.com.au/photos.htm

Nice spot! Saw the Redback Spyder on Beyond Tomorrow before. Wonder if anyone actually bought one. I think the owner owns the two in existence?

Props to the builder, but to be honest 350k is a bit steep for an LS1 in a carbon chassis. I think the Joss Supercar looks so much better and is faster, for around the same money. It's also built by an aussie in his "garage". Some of you may remember it from previous motor shows.

Great job spotting the Redback though. The only super-spot that can top that I guess is of one-of-a-kind car. eg., if the sole Maybach Excelero ever comes here . Not sure what other one-of-a-kind road cars there are :blush:

Spotted one of these on my way to work...

Tell you what its not a STOCK BMW lets say that...

sorry for poor pic...

Not 100% on spelling but it was an AC Schwizer.... VERY VERY nice and sounded awesome!!!

it's not a AC Schnitzer car, his just got the bar on it, it's not a M6 so it's either a 640, 645 or 650, it's a individual color from BMW, did he still have the black wheels on it?

well had me fooled...

It had full rebadged AC Schnitzer on the boot, and also side skirts along with the bonnet badge..

The wheels were labeled BMW which were chrome / Yellow spoke...

It also sounded tough as!!

Not sure what the real deal should look like

    • I was poking through the R34 wiring diagrams vs R33 and noticed that the R34 has proper headlight relays while the R33 is like the R32 and sends full headlight power through the headlight switch. I'm not afraid of wiring but I really would like to do this in a way that looks OEM (clipping into open positions on the OEM relay box) and also unlike the factory wiring which interlocks the high beam and low beam on the halogen series 1 GTR headlights I want to make it such that turning on the high beams keeps the low beams on as well. Any advice on how to locate the specific connectors + crimp terminals + relays I need? I was thinking one NO relay for low beams and another for combined high + low running off the factory high beam headlight connector. I don't really want to splice into a crusty old probably discontinued factory harness so fully reversible is my goal here.
    • Pretty sure they run the same engine as the Q50 hybrid which specifies 95 RON.  I ran 98 in mine for a while, but it made no difference in performance or economy, so I have been using 95 for the last few years.  I have never hit 6.0L/100km, but have returned mid to high 6 on the highway.  Being a hybrid, fuel economy is a lot more dependant on how you drive it.  At 110km/h, mine never goes into EV mode on the highway, so returns closer to 7.5L/100. urban driving can return low 8s if you are careful or over 10 if you are a bit more enthusiastic on the throttle.
    • About a quarter of what you want to do. It's only R7R, not R&dismantle&replaceparts&reassemble&R. ? It is stock. I already told you, you will NOT have broken those. It's f**king 4th gear for Christ's sake. You just chipped the teeth off.
    • *waits* for chop idle videos and TT kit hanging off the motor. I like these sounds now, my inner bogan is growing.    
    • Want to buy a good running Rb20det in Sydney preferably complete or long block
