Doesn't playing with your organ count as a religious act anymore.....
330 is piss poor in anyone's book!!! Give me the damn thing and I'm sure I can get it past 350 on the GC-Brissy hwy And Phil, playing the organ is one thing but you boys were in an orchestra, the ORGAN and brASS section yooz even got a new player to join in, haven't seen you refered to as ff since the Procar forum
hahahahaha....that statement should make you feel REALLY stupid. Hmmmmmmm...I guess that means you won't notice any difference, though.
I said I'm stupid already.... for at least 2 reasons.. I missed my english exam I accepted you as a customer despite countless warnings from your "friends" and others...... ....but I'm still able to work out how fast a car goes better than you, so that makes you even more stupid.....as has just been proven.
The more you open your mouth, the more stupid you seem to be. You just don't like me having me as a customer because I challenge your incompetence where the rest of your customers accept everything you say as gospel...well too bad, bucko. I noticed that you were very happy to take my money at the time, and not accept responsibility for the poor workmanship you carried out. Do you REALLY want me to tell everyone? I'm happy to start a new thread about it, if you like...AND make sure it's well publicised. Just say the word. As far as working out speed...what I quoted was the standard Ferrari figure...as I said before...show me where Tony said he'd changed anything on the car from standard apart from the kit before this speed issue came up.
I have HEARD that once you get passed a certain speed on the m1 the ocean "breeze" trys its best to push you into the baracades on the side. I reckon at 350 youd have to be driving with your wheels at 45'
that'd be those full syk mayte cars....they were never meant to do 300 so is it any wonder they float and the cops have never caught any of them from what I've heard. As a matter of fact they even had a BMW blow them away on the M1 and hassled all 3 series drivers over the following months (I was one of those hassled in my old 3 series, had to get a 5 series to stop the harassment) Whereabouts are you hiding out nw ? I thought I heard you say you were near Ipswich ? Top speed is horse**** really, I prefer P-P times like going from Amberley AFB to the border in an hour 20 25 years ago in my 2300S, I tried it in a Senator (1 1/2 hours!!) and if you know the road they are quick times (especially if you're a good boy and drve thru Warwick at the speed limit) Of course these days I drive very slowly and have much respect fro the law cough cough....my tongue nearly fell out
Pless, you can tell anyone anything you like. Your reputation is laid in concrete, just look at your posts on this forum as just a tiny example... full of crap, virtually every one of them. Then, ask around the Ferrari community.... quite interesting how well "known" you are. As for taking money... I've got some stories from a few of your aircon customers too. And anyway, you beat me so far down on price the job was barely worthwhile then (nearly 18 months ago), let alone now! Your car came to me as a stinking pile of crap with oil coming from every where, never mind the burst oil line. Its cam timing was wrong.. as set by the main dealer, and there's a dirty great cut and shut missed weld in the rear subframe from some half finished chassisrepair... that you were not that fussed about..... and under the belly pans, the body shop had left all their tape markers for the jig measurements where it had been checked for twist....which again, you were not worried about when I cornerweighted it. How come a few alleged drops of oil that don't even reach the ground worry you more that a clearly exposed half finished chassis repair and a quite obviously twisted bodyshell.... Maybe you'd like to tell everyone how much oil it used/leaked in 15 months / 2 track days and not sure how many road km..... NONE. How do I know.... because when you came to me whinging you told me you had NEVER EVEN CHECKED IT.... Now that is strange behaviour for someone with such a terrible oil leak...... almost stupid, certainly negligent. Say what you like, but be careful with the facts now...... I'll save it all up for when it really matters.
Of course I'm well known. I was the first person in Melbourne to have an F40 (wow...tm(ants)) I must be a legend. How come you spend so much time talking about me anyway? One of the many differences between you and me is that as a person gets to know me better, they like me better...with you, it's the exact opposite! Weird, hey? Plus, one of us has been banned from forums in the past....and it wasn't me....hmmmmmmmmm You're talking rubbish and riddles. Beat you down on price? $11k for a service and a couple of oil lines? Yep...I screwed you. Hmmmmmmm....a stinking pile of crap....oil from everywhere, you say? Amazing. Apart from the burst oil line, it had never leaked more oil than AFTER you said you'd fixed them! But yes...guilty as charged....the car was leaking from the cam covers. (and POURING from them when you'd done your bit to them.) Now, tell me more about these chassis repairs....you seem to know so much about me and my car! Alleged oil leaks that YOU left. The mechanics that inspected them said that it was leaking so badly FROM WHERE YOU'D DONE REPAIRS that it would fail a roadworthy. Didn't reach the ground? How did I know about them, then?? Did the car tell me? Twisted bodyshell, hey? You fool. The chassis had been tested on a jig and was almost perfect (better than the NEW 355 it was compared to) that's why the tapes were there. Can't you get anything right? Well, that's hard for me to do, isn't it? I don't know how much oil you put in it. Since you screwed up just about everything else you touched on my car, you probably overfilled it! Certainly, it left puddles on a few of my friends' driveways. I have every single email and sms we ever sent to eachother. I'm ready when you are. Now ferrarifixator, you DO know I enjoy this sort of stuff, right? You're getting all churned up inside (cos you know I'm right) and me? I'm laughing my damn head off.
Dude those cars rule, you can have bloody 10 of them for the price of a new(ish) Ferrari sure the Japanese designers didnt design them for high speed runs on the m1 but you add a bigger turbo, body kit, rock hard track-spec suspension and a blow off valve and its as close as you can get to a race car for the street Thats between me and my parol officer Luckily I dont live in Ipswich but I am close enough to the greater Ipswich area to know to avoid it and its citizens if at all possible. Ill be heading to Japan in a few weeks and if I come back I plan on living as far away as possible I like that road, once you get passed the raceway it is visually wide open and the traffic is somewhat limited, even better with the forward visibility and lower amount of cars its not worth putting revenue raisers out there, you just need to keep an eye out for the patrol cars that you can see from a mile away anyway. So do I Its a shame really as a kid I grew up believing that the police were there to help. Now unfortunately like most my only interaction with them is when they are harassing me or passing the 10billionth revenue camera and anyone I know that has an actual criminal problem i.e their job has had to wait forever then when they finally got there the officers really couldnt care.
phil, koeing has a gear ratio up to 330k for 3000 . what part of the box could be changed and how dificult.are the gear ratios changable
Ton Unfortunately, the whole box has to be stripped to change ratios, as it's not designed for that kind of work. I'd guess about 40 hours labour, but I've not done it before. The 5th and 6th gear set I had made for 360 by Hollinger cost about AUD$1800 for the parts, but took a month to get done from a pattern supplied. A 360 box is quite easy to work on compared to a 355, which is transverse. With your car, it may be better to just raise the final drive ratio, instead of the gears. I assume that what the Koenig part is?
Yes, Koenig does make just the final drive ratio for faster speeds. Slower acceleration will be there, but when you have 600whp pushing you forward, you really should not notice too much.
Peter, as always most of your comments are not worthy of reply, as they are simply lies or major distortions of events. But you have conveniently forgotten standing in my shop..with your car on the hoist... watching oil falling out the sump to block joint, while being cleaned and re cleaned to confirm it was coming from there.... THAT is the oil you had on the ground... and is nothing to do with the work performed at the SERVICE. Produce a letter to show me from a repairer of YOUR choice, that guarantees NO LEAKS after multiple track days and 12 months road use. Get them to do the work, come and show me after you have done a similar amount of work with the car again... and i'll reconsider my position with you. Until then, just drive the car.
Oh my god....hey phil...kettle....black!! 12 months? I had the oil leak from the cam covers that you had off within 2 months. The only thing that took 12 months was for you to admit my car was in perfect mechanical condition and do something about the leaks! Man...you are delusional. Haha...produce a letter...haha..you're such a phool, phil. Sorry...I can't contain myself...your comments have me rotflmho, again!
Anyway, being serious and back on topic, just about the only thing that bugs me about my 355 is the low gearing. I'd imagine it's because it doesn't have much torque , so it makes sense, but with Ton's huge torque and power increase I reckon raising the overall gearing would be f*****ing fantastic! Less wear and tear on the engine...higher top speed (not a abig deal really) and buckets of torque with less revs for ease of driving. There's so much about this TT kit that I like, I must say.
No thanks, I'm busy. Anyway... what's so funny about asking for proof you can get a guaranteed no oil leak car?... it's exactly what you expected from me, so why do you not expect it from anyone else.....??
Whilst you two abusing each other is entertaining, either do it in good humour or start your own thread up instead of ruining other informative threads with your childish BS. In fact I'll start it for you now.
l think that it would be quicker. for the car has got the power to push the higher gear . when l had the 295/30s all l was doing was changing gears , the 295/35 was better but the 305/45s is better again so fai autosport or phil is it a big job to change the final ratio . the305/45s are a big sidewall and not good for cornering. in drags if you have the power you keep putting taller gears in your car until you loose et then you up the power or go back in ratio .
As I said Ton, my guess is about 40 hours plus the parts., which would only be some fluids and a few bearings as a minimum, plus the ratio. But you need to factor in down time to make the ratio you wan't, or chose one you can find from another source. If you had a spare box, it could be getting modified while you continue driving the car....
