Munro Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Nah, Im happy with my E63 AMG. Besides, I've got a new metallic black Land Drover Discovery 4 on 20s for towing duties. Martin just tuned it to around 640nm. Seb has pretty much bought the craziest 4WD money can buy....................its going to look sick down Rundle St. Dare you to get some mud on it.

domino_z Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 (edited) congrats on the g i drove one last month (non-amg), along with a few other 4wds, but all were a bit too ott for me - i bought and sold an RR Vogue Supercharged within a few weeks because the body roll was really unnerving and had this weird driving position where i felt i was sliding forward out of the seat when braking and turning i ended up going with a 12 FJ, surprisingly little body roll, and this way i wont be too upset when i hit the rocks and come away with bruises - first time doing the whole off -road thing Edited February 15, 2012 by domino_z Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/376636-alpha-12-heading-down-under/page/3/#findComment-6236106 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin Donnon Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Love tuning those Kompressor engines too, they respond nicely with a better intercooler setup, some more boost, and a full remap of the Bosch Motronic Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/376636-alpha-12-heading-down-under/page/3/#findComment-6236323 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin Donnon Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Not sure if there are too many advantages to be had with a larger plenum domino The jury is still out on that one with VR38. There are companies making them, but look for some hard data (GTR manifold is a pretty nice thing out the box) Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/376636-alpha-12-heading-down-under/page/3/#findComment-6236518 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultimategtr Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Words simply cannot be used to express how great this is! I got goosebumps when I saw that pic above ^ in the engine bay, looks stock! I dont think theres anything on the roads that will be able to match or come close to it!

MrBlonde Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 The twin turbo conversion Lamborghinis can match or overmatch a hot rodded GTR .. but the price differential is on our side.

MrBlonde Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 (edited) reliability is on our side Sam, agreed. From what I've seen on YouTube and US boards the Lambos are geared for 100-200 MPH runs etc whereas R3s are pretty much good at everything you could conceivably want from a street car: drag, circuit, street. Personally I am not interested in the flying mile type of events. What intrigues me is the G6 tranny. I've never had a car with two pedals ...

Martin Donnon Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Building the rest of the cars support systems around the engine at the moment Mark - god only knows you must know the feeling! Carrying out centre exit exhaust system, twin mount rear vent coolers (trans/rear diff), secondary front mount oil cooler Triple pump fuel system, all new lines, transmission bracing, front differential bracing, the list goes on. Turning the key on it and tuning it should be the simplest part of the equation.
