haha had to drive it with a sleeping bag covering it so rain wouldn't get in. (Very interesting looks from that)

The vacuum from all the glass is all scratched inside from the cyclone type bag less depository.

Can never see if its full now. Its quite stressful.

My mum's CLK does it all the time too, but their system is not as aggressive as Aston's. They stay within the confines of the car when they go off.

Still, very annoying as you can't use the roof when they go off and it's a bitch to get them back down, but at least it's free!

No i never found them sorry James.

By the time i got back from the airport there was a lot of people out seeing what happened with next door and others trying to clean it all up in the rain.

It would be hard to believe they be in one piece after something like that?

The general thoughts of the neighbours was that someone had bricked the car which is what i thought when i got the call on my way home. Strange little surprise.

Maybe that's why the Aston roof wouldn't go down. Precautionary measure before it lost its dice.

Just parked it out the front of the house.

God.... Damn... if you park a new DB9 Volante out on the street I'd love to see what you've got in the garage :thumbsup:

Oh yeah, sorry I didn't realise they were anti-roll bars. That's some vicious deployment. But twin NOS bottles in a DB9 would've been cool.

DB9 volantes have 2+2 seats right? What happens when the bars deploy with people in the back? Obviously AM have engineered for their safety as well, but from the photo it looks like they'd get a huge metal rod up their ass or something :down: lol

1. My car

2. The ROPS deploys behind the rear seat headrest

3. The roof wouldn't go down due to an electrical motor problem in the rear decklid BEFORE the ROPS deployment.

4. There were no computer activations of the ROPS - a mechanical latch failed

4. Aston Martin rear windows are NOT available as a spare part... only the roof as a whole

Drove through Toorak Rd today. Been a long time since last. Goddamn there were some good cars today...

Bright orange 911 GT3RS plates [RS911], White 911 Turbo plates [15].

Jag XKR, White R8, 2 Bentley Continentals, brunette chick driving M6.

white 911 is my boss, has heaps of the old plates, one stage we had 4 million dollars worth in the shop window, 15 i think is still for sale for $750,000

On Collins St near Spring St intersection tonight at 730 - Red Ferrari 430 parked behind a blue 612 Scaglietti (I think) with plates [480]. There were outside Nando's but kinda doubt that's where they ended up having dinner :D

Holy shizz... 4 mil worth of plates could buy me a 500 new Nissan Micras. I could start arguably the largest single-model Victorian car club right there :)

I think you mean Bourke.. they're always there at the 'mob cafe'... never actually noticed what it's really called :dry:

Some of Tony Mokbels friends hang out there

They always park in the loading zones..

It pays to be a criminal..

I think I saw James GT3 driving through Southbank yesterday at lunch.. certainly looked like his one

Oops, yeah it was Bourke.

Geez, didn't know the underworld was so.... well, exposed.

Thought they would be driving around in nondescript Mercs with tinted windows and armour plating.

    • Reasonably hard, although I haven't run it with the new Endless setup yet. The old brakes were F50's on 335mm rotors and the car did a 1:40.6 at Phillip Island which is a reasonable time, I'm seeing high 600s on the temperature paint. A guy I know ran the Endless fluid at WTAC without issues and he was doing 1:33's I think (Evo) with a 355/332 setup. I don't get out to the track as much as I'd like but we put the car on the hoist and spanner check every bolt and re-paint mark everything, bleed the brakes, change the fuel, check the coolant system and re-bleed blah blah blah before every event. Motorsport is expensive, RB's are expensive so a couple of hours before an event is time well spent. It's also a net time saving because if you can keep your RB from self destructing it saves you time in the long term!
    • Welcome Alice......hope you have a bit more luck from here on! What was done in the build?  
    • Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!
    • Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
    • I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
