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...

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

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

    • If you're really considering leaving it, a great question to ask is, is the magnet going to stick to the sump? The answer to the above is the same answer towards if I'd have any level of comfort leaving it... Personally, based on the cost of a motor if the magnet were to cause damage, I'd be fishing it out either way. Use the methods in here. It fit in through the plug hole, it'll come out.   PS, get a small actuatable claw for a bore scope. OR if you know a vet, they have really cool controllable scopes with hooks on the end. Supposedly they're like playing a video game. Ask if they can acquire you one of their scopes... Engine oil after all is just a different type of lube right? Will only make it easier on the next dog or cat...
    • All other (Boolean) logic functions though, are just built on those blocks above. Which does give you a lot of functionality in logic. It is basing that on using thresholds with analogue signals like GTS alluded to.   Not having things like timers will make it less useful for some of the ramp up logic you'd want, and again, on Haltecs capacity specifically, I'm not across anymore what you can / can't do with different tables.   I'm assuming, with your logic you want to implement, not only do you want your timing safeties, you're wanting to be able to derive the duty cycle for your solenoid, to maintain I'm assuming 175PSi? Or are you using a standalone WMI controller to maintain the DC correct, and you just want the Haltech working out which fuelling maps you should be on?
    • It doesn't seem to follow revs. Oddly it seems to follow TPS a little bit from what I can see, but with some delay a bit. IE end of the graph, when he lets off throttle fully, pressure drops a lot, then slowly builds back up, but rpm is on a nice cruisey drop off. I do agree though, it seems very electrically.
    • I just try to entirely stay away from ladder now unless it's something basic maintained by electricians. Even then and to your point, it mostly ends up being blocks I wrote in structured text.  PLC's are slowly going towards C, C++ and C#. I just wish Allen-Bradley would jump on the bandwagon. 
    • All of them are missing. You do not get much done with just AND, OR and NOT unfortunately. Ecumaster for example has a text based editor with at least 60+ math and logic instructions.
