  1. 2018 Porsche 911 GT3 RS revealed

    WP in Lizard green .. none WP in Racing yellow ...
  2. My Father had a 355 at one stage Timing belt replacement ,clutch replacement all require engine out from memory Timing belts were every 20000 K on it .........From 360 model on wards Ferrari had a think and the timing belts can be done with out engine removal as Ferrari created and access panel behind the seats ... My father is a long time Ferrari owner and had numerous models over the years ,,,so he is well acquainted with the acentric mechanical nature of these cars ..Replacement parts are very pricey as you could image ,,,,for example over X mass we replaced the front left tie rod end at 38000 klm had some play in it from our pot hole roads ..............cost of the replacement rod end just under $400 Aud for one rod end and we did the replacement work our selves ,,,,,other basic service items like plugs , oil filter and air filter are quite costly as they are specific bespoke parts made exclusively for that car unlike many Porsche Parts that are generic and shared with VW and Audi cars ... I personally find many of the eccentric characteristics of owning and living with one of these cars not to my liking ,,,but for the Ferrari faithful like my father this is all part of the charm and mystic of owning one ,,,,as I must confess that when every thing is working right and you can take it up to the redline in every gear it is a special and unique moment they do make one hell of and engine noise

Oil cooled

    Yes that is what gets Sydney motorists so fired up the barrel price has been pretty consistent but the pump price can go up and down over night 15 to 20 cents a liter and then back down again ,,it is just blatant price gouging and rubbing it in the motorists face ..

  11. 98 fuel choice

    Sadly Bad leadership mate Australia could be a world leader with its abundance of resources ,,,,we shouldn,t be in the current situation with shortages of energy requirements in this country we should an be a glowing example to the rest of the world .................The situation with our refining capacity is ridiculous as per usual ,,,,like you said imagine if the flow of fuel stopped for what ever reason we would be rightly screwed ...............I am certain our quality leaders know better than us , while they are shagging staffers and living it up on the tax payers ..............
  12. 98 fuel choice

    I always us 98 in my 997 S ,,,,I have no real preference for brand i just use the one that is convenient at the time of filling up ................But according to their BS adverts material they all clean your engine,,, increase HP ,,,give better MPG ,,are better for the precious bloody environment ........and BLAH BLAH BLAH ... One thing I can confirm is that is cost far more than it should and we get screwed at the pump real hard ........
