Anyone know why i would have shocking fuel economy? Getting roughly 250-300ks a tank.

[Boof R33]

oxy sensor? i am on to my 2nd one in 6 months it was almost that bad when it was not working. i got 220 from 27 ltrs (12.7 ltrs to 100) on the cruise not to bad cant argue anyway.

[scandyflick]

na POWER(!)?

[MissR34]

lol

[TALBO]

nah no bogan, im not into incest

i do like aussie muscle tho.. xu1/slr5000 toranas, chargers, xb/xc fords...never got into monaros tho... i also like american muscle (57' thunderbirds, 67 camaros, corvettes, pontiacs firebird & fieros etc)

they're the exception to the rule sadly, most australian (and american) cars are utter garbage. much to my chagrin.

-D

Edit - and while I detest 4wd's, f150s/250's are quite ruggedly over-engineered

I probably should of used italics. Each to their own, I do like some of the aussie and yank classics too

That's shocking , i used to get about that with my car, not sure what its gonna be now after the retune etc.

[Tangles]

yup new O2 sensor time, I replaced mine recently (4wire wired up to 3wire connection)

I love the Corvette Stingray, 67' is a classic but Id love a 77'. With a twin turbo 6.0litre V8.

Also love the TA-22 77' Celica, with a RB25det she'd be awesome

As for 4wd's - I hate the size of the things, but recently we got a make-believe 4wd, the Ford Escape 02'.

not a bad car whatsoever, very roomy inside (enough for 4x 200cm tall adults + luggage comfortably), but not that huge on the road. easy to handle.

very happy with the purchase at $6500 incl. tyres, airfare and petrol melb-adl. spending $500 on it atm thru Boostworx and its in top notch condition.

also dropping in the injectors, setting up the ecu and tune, on the 8th. cant wait. Boostworx of course

Pulled the engine cover off the RS250 race bike today, found some bits floating about in there that shouldn't be! One part was a dowel pin or piston pin by the looks of it! The other part looks like a bit of the casing damaged by the pin. I reckon someone has intentionally dropped this pin into the oil cap hole to f**k the engine up. A bit pissed off as it could have been dangerous as it jammed up at about 170kph at the track at the time I noticed the noise. Lucky its only isolated to the clutch basket and kickstart gearing, and not the crank or barrels. Anyhow, now I gotta rip the engine down to make sure its all okay.

That sucks Rubes.

We sent an engine off to get rebuilt once, when we got it back they told us that they found a tappet in the sump

Yeah, I figure if I'm ripping the engine down for look for other problems, I might as well rebuild with new pistons etc, and AF1 heads. The engine is barely 500kms from its last rebuild, but its compromised now. And at 9,000rpm and 200kph on track, I can't afford a compromised engine. I'm also shopping for a spare engine too, just in case it pops in the middle of the season.

My racing budget is already hit hard now, and I haven't even started the season yet.

250-300 kms to the tank? ouch, i'd hate to see your fuel bill.

Managed to crack out a solid 600km this weekend on one tank in the 31 with 290,500 kms on the dash. Mind you, that was highway driving to Victoria.

[Import S13]

does anyone know what would cause a battery to spark and go all smokey (on the negitive side) when trying to start a car?

happened on my drift car today, gonna get a new battery but not keen on it happening again.

[Fishpaste~]

mmm... new SGU is good, shame about the lack of 'talent' in the cast tho =P
