Hi guys.

I just wanted to list all the places that sell racing fuels around Sydney.

I've got prices from BP and Shell for their AVGAS based racing fuels which I'll post below.

All prices inclusive of GST

Shell Racing Fuel 100

MON= 100 RON= 108

Phone- 131618

20L = $39.31atm works out to $1.97/L

200L = $235.84 + $38 for drum = $273.84 works out to $1.37/L

BP 100

MON= 100 RON= 104

Phone- 4572 3113

20L = $48 works out to $2.4/L

200L (AVGAS) = $309 works out to 1.54/L

For all these fuels you will need CAMS license (looks at Dino:rolleyes: ) and a log book. Check with your council for storage permission.

Anyone else know where AVGAS can be bought please post it.

Cheers

Yep I know where you can get AVGAS George but there is a HUGE fine from the EPA for using it on the street. Apparently the fine is levied per cylinder and the guy I heard of got busted in a V-8 and was slugged with a $20 000 fine. :eek:

Hume Performance out Liverpool way sell VP racing fuel.

Bit pricey ($100 for 20L) but damn my engine ran alot cooler, idled so low, idled and revved out so smoothly.

As for extra grunt i dont think it made much difference. Needed to be running more boost or different tune to get the most out of the VP109 (i think thats what it was called)

Oh and still legal as it doesnt contain lead like avgas. I gets its better octane rating due to the fact that is oxygenated, and has a few other little additives in there.

    • The rain is the best time to push to the edge of the grip limit. Water lubrication reduces the consumption of rubber without reducing the fun. I take pleasure in driving around the outside of numpties in Audis, WRXs, BRZs, etc, because they get all worried in the wet. They warm up faster than the engine oil does.
    • When they're dead cold, and in the wet, they're not very fun. RE003 are alright, they do harden very quickly and turn into literally $50 Pace tyres.
    • Yeah, I thought that Reedy's video was quite good because he compared old and new (as in, well used and quite new) AD09s, with what is generally considered to be the fast Yokohama in this category (ie, sporty road/track tyres) and a tyre that people might be able to use to extend the comparo out into the space of more expensive European tyres, being the Cup 2. No-one would ever agree that the Cup 2 is a poor tyre - many would suggest that it is close to the very top of the category. And, for them all to come out so close to each other, and for the cheaper tyre in the test to do so well against the others, in some cases being even faster, shows that (good, non-linglong) tyres are reaching a plateau in terms of how good they can get, and they're all sitting on that same plateau. Anyway, on the AD08R, AD09, RS4 that I've had on the car in recent years, I've never had a problem in the cold and wet. SA gets down to 0-10°C in winter. Not so often, but it was only 4°C when I got in the car this morning. Once the tyres are warm (ie, after about 2km), you can start to lay into them. I've never aquaplaned or suffered serious off-corner understeer or anything like that in the wet, that I would not have expected to happen with a more normal tyre. I had some RE003s, and they were shit in the dry, shit in the wet, shit everywhere. I would rate the RS4 and AD0x as being more trustworthy in the wet, once the rubber is warm. Bridgestone should be ashamed of the RE003.
    • This is why I gave the disclaimer about how I drive in the wet which I feel is pretty important. I have heard people think RS4's are horrible in the rain, but I have this feeling they must be driving (or attempting to drive) anywhere close to the grip limit. I legitimately drive at the speed limit/below speed the limit 100% of the time in the rain. More than happy to just commute along at 50kmh behind a train of cars in 5th gear etc. I do agree with you with regards to the temp and the 'quality' of the tyre Dose. Most UHP tyres aren't even up to temperature on the road anyway, even when going mad initial D canyon carving. It would be interesting to see a not-up-to-temp UHP tyre compared against a mere... normal...HP tyre at these temperatures. I don't think you're (or me in this case) is actually picking up grip with an RS4/AD09 on the road relative to something like a RE003 because the RS4/AD09 is not up to temp and the RE003 is closer to it's optimal operating window.
    • Either the bearing has been installed backwards OR the gearbox input shaft bearing is loosey goosey.   When in doubt, just put in a Samsonas in.
