Sports car rentals.

I have the orange gallardo in my driveway at the moment, and do alot of work for them.

They had a near new porka crashed a couple of weeks back in the national park and a brand new Aston in a ditch along old pac months ago, that's why the minis try and keep a tightish reign on the drivers.

People don't understand or even consider the cost to repair one if you do happen to damage it.

I actually did a Drive day with them the other week - thoroughly enjoyable, no Mini's as one driver couldn't make it.

What is wrong with the Gallardo? Noticed a few rust bubbles and minor imperfections when we were driving it.

Lambo is back with SCR now. Was in for regular maintance and an oil leak that has been a nightmare to chase down.

Was leaking from a locating pin on the dry sump tank and was filling the rear chassis rails.

It's doing a lease day at Wakefield park Saturday week, so will be back for a once over before that day.

The body is actually all aluminum, it's got some corrosion coming through in a few areas which is apparently common for them.

Ah that must have been the cause for the "check engine" light we saw on the dash that the lead driver told us not to worry about :P

Negative, Corosion anywhere other than around some of the brake callipers is NOT normal. Who said otherwise????

A guy that lives in my parents street has a White 458.

Drives it all the time. I have to admit I'm a Lamborghini man but those 458's are by far the sexiest car Ferrari have produced!!! Yum yum

If he is a young Arab looking bloke it would be the car I followed to work one day last week. Going North bound on Homebush Bay Dr and turned left just before IKEA.

Tough sounding car :)

No he is in his mid to late 30's

But that young Arab bloke who has a white 458 is from Greenacre.... He lives near one of my mates

You'd think to move from Greenacre before spending on a car though...

Further up Point St, waiting at a set of lights, a young couple looked at this parade of supercars > he pointed towards Matt's car and said, "I'd prefer that!" > She said, "Yeah, definitely."

Yay for the 740iL ! ! !

Redbook says $789K for the Aventador, that's excluding on roads and options!

When we followed them into the valet area they got out and swapped drivers and quickly left again. Given that, and also that the two cars are so rare, it's possible they're owned by the casino (or someone associated with the Star) and they were loaned to some high rollers

That was definitely strange.

      Hello Everyone

      Welcome.  Glad to hear that you have gained some knowledge that has helped you. I believe the only fix for the power steer belt is an electric conversion with a Holden astra pump. If you get a chance, post pics of your car, please. 🙂

      to have this type of adjustment possible with a curve as I wish, what budget (engine) should be planned?

      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.
