I went for a long drive tonight down to the gong and noticed i was getting shocking fuel economy.I used a full tank there and back with a bit of a thrash here and there.The 02 was turned on but i noticed a couple of sensors had a black dot next to them (power fc)

Ones i can remember are IGN,F/P there where 3 others.I dont think ive seen these have a dot next to them before.

Should i be worried? The car was running rich but i put that down to the fact i was running 8 psi as the car is tuned for 16 psi with my highflow.

Found out what it means.Man i feel like such a NOOB! Thanks Paul for the FAQs ;)

You tend to forget things after being with out you car for 3 months lol

Still doesnt explain the fuel economy,will get it looked at.

Admin you may delete.

3 month+ old fuel is probably in the territory where you've lost a few octane points due to the fuel going bad(or starting to).

Take it easy and see if its the same on your next tank of fuel.

ps. my car drove like crap for a few hours after a week at the smashies.

Yep, your fuel is likely to be stale now Dave.

I would normally say drain it and refill it.

It did that itself up the maquarie pass on friday night :thanks:

    • There's not a great deal to report here .... except ...... FOR .... LSD!!!  I bought a Quaife LSD from the UK and shipped it here .... Wish I'd just bought locally cause the shipping and duty was $700! But there were so many diffs used in the E90s I just wanted to be absolutely certain I was getting the right one so I spoke with a supplier in the UK who builds race cars and they have heaps of experience with the E90s.  I pulled the diff out which was seriously awesome - I've never done anything like that before, I must have watched 1000 videos on YT about it as well as consulting the Bentley manual. It was super easy in the end. The diff was delivered to the awesome folks at Hornsby Diffs and will be back in a few weeks. I also replaced the diff bushings with some Nolathane ones.  Really looking forward to getting it back and getting back to the track or even the skidpan.
    • yeah... the 13kg/mm springs weren't always in there, I had 10kg/mm but doing a few SMSP commanded heavier front springs. It's so good now going into T1 and T2, just need more seat time and real tyres.
    • Yes, well. Mine are less than half that. ARBs are not set to "dumb" either.
    • I would hope. But, we all know even the best companies have an issue sporadically.
    • LOL well, lucky mine doesn't have some R shit on it. Around town, it handles so much better than the R33, R33 in the wet is pretty dangerous to the untrained hoon, especially with 13kg/mm front springs.
