in my personal experience, porsche's are extremely reliable machines ... even after severe modding ... prob the best there are ...
Everyone is joining in on the fun I think the exhausts are from the Carrera GT as well. Looks identical to me.
Was supposed to but arriving back from Thailand Sunday. Going this Monday though... and on 11/12 as well...
Sheeessshhh.... that intercooler looks like a freaking fridge!!! Awesome stuff bro.... cant wait to see the real thing....
TOKYO, Nov 4 (Reuters) - Toyota Motor <7203.T> will announce on Wednesday a plan to pull out of Formula One racing after this year, Japan's Mainichi newspaper reported on Wednesday. The reported withdrawal comes as the auto industry starts to stabilise after a sales crunch in the wake of the financial crisis. If confirmed, Toyota's pullout would be another major blow for Formula One after Japan's number two carmaker Honda quit the series last December to cut costs. It would also continue the drain of Japanese companies from motor sport, which has seen Subaru and Suzuki withdraw from the world rallying championship and bike maker Kawasaki scrap its MotoGP team in the grip of a severe market downturn. Japanese tyremaker Bridgestone announced earlier this week they would not renew their tyre supply contract with Formula One after the 2010 season. Toyota's Fuji International Speedway circuit in July gave up the hosting rights for the Japanese Grand Prix in 2010 and beyond to reduce costs amid the global economic downturn. The pull-out of Japanese companies from F1 began with Honda-backed Super Aguri, who left for financial reasons early last year. Toyota are the only remaining Japanese team in F1, but have no drivers signed for next season and were dropped as Williams' engine partner for 2010. HUGE BUDGET The world's biggest carmaker have failed to win a race since entering Formula One in 2002 despite an estimated annual budget of around $300 million. Their departure from the sport would leave just three manufacturers -- Ferrari (FIAT), Mercedes and Renault. It would also open the door for BMW-Sauber's new Swiss owners to take their place as the 13th team on the grid. Toyota signed the concorde agreement earlier this year committing themselves to F1 until at least 2012, so a pullout could also have legal ramifications. The Yomiuri newspaper said Toyota has raised its global production plan for the year to March 2010 by 13 percent to about 7 million vehicles from 6.2 million units forecast in February. Toyota has forecast an operating loss of 750 billion yen ($8.3 billion) on revenues of 16 trillion yen. It is scheduled to report second-quarter results on Thursday. ($1=90.36 Yen)

Hmm. on 2nd thoughts, maybe should've turned on the lights. I love the LEDs. You know Harold, that's one reason why I haven't pulled the plug. I really dig the LEDs on the MkIIs
Guess it's time for a re-shoot! Didn't light up the tail wing on the last pic & this time with a female subject Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
The Balboni? Do it mate. Gallardos are very well built & I'm sure Mel will make it smooth by taking in your pontoon
It is quite thick & if you notice, they've adapted it to paddle shifts. Something Porsche finally gave in but chargeable! The car has a strange sound. A low bubbling tone on start-up & idle but you know it's something really menacing! Patient mate. Need to audition the models you know You mean you haven't actually been there!!?? Shall we
I love most of it save for the wing which is a little OTT for my taste! Wonder how it would look with just a normal turbo or gt3 wing...
Hmm. On the top speed part of the SV. One Malaysian Lp640 owner did 341km/h recorded in the blackbox of his car. Yes, the Murcielago does have a blackbox which also records the no of Gs!
yeh I noticed that .. Uncle Lung, isn't your steering paddles as well? I am willing to assist you! In all honesty I've been there once only becoz that was the meeting place before heading up to Sepang last year.
Yeah. Not my taste either, some of these makers tend to overdo things. (Guess we like it simpler & clean) It is a Bi-wing & adjustable flap too! The lower side must have been derived from the 993GT2 with the air intakes for the intercooler while the upper wing acts as for downforce. Given the amount of torque etc, it probably needs it!
yeh I'm the same I can't get past the wing. If it was a coupe it wud prob look better with a wing that size.
