Snowman Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 The way I read the rules it's any E85, as long as the 85% of ethonal is from CSR. "CSR Ethonal blend" is the wording from memory.I'm hoping that's right, cause the Powermax is cheaper than the CSR (now Sucrogen), and uses CSR ethonal Did you mean Power Plus? Right now I can find 4 suppliers of "racing" E85. Power Plus Cheetah Race Fuels Elf Race Fuels Fuel Control Australia But you can also buy the non-racing (basically 91RON mix rather than 98RON mix) from a couple of local petrol stations. I guess it would be tops to know from that list what can and can't be used.

sav man Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 yeah that's the one. From what i know Power Plus - 85% CSR Ethonal, 15% Power Plus 98 - $2.30l in tassie Cheetah ? Elf - ? Fuel Control Australia - official CSR E85 (now Sucrogen) - $2.50l +postage to tassie Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/228058-tarmac-rallying-perpetual-thread/page/121/#findComment-5381020 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beer Baron Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 that RX7 is not a bad piece of gear for $35K providing the engine is a good one. it would be a great fun circuit car or a pretty lively tarmac rally car.

Beer Baron Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 also on E85 there is also a local sydney supplier now who is selling E85 with the CSR ethanol but blended with BP100 RON premium petrol instead of 98 pump gas. if anyone is keen send me a pm and I'll put you in touch. price is competitive I think and can deliver drums of various sizes.

Good to know - thanks Stu. Spoke to Mark this morning and the Elf E85 is selling here for $2.20/L - best rate so far I've found for 98RON blended E85 - and will also be available as an on course back up for THC anyways. Hopefully it goes well and we see them back as another supplier in Tas 2011 as well.

Snowman Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 So I took Newtons EMO 4 for a spin up at DECA on the weekend. Easiest car to drive fast I've ever driven - by a long way. Quite scary really. I've driven lots of EMO's over the years but that was the first one thats made me think twice. The challenge now will be to make my new toy as close to being that good as possible. But it was a real eye opener into how good a pretty basic, low powered car can be. But it was a good lesson in that an easy car to drive fast is better than a fast car. It's just easier to build a fast car than it is the other way around!

Snowman Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 I heard on the grape vine today that a Western Australian father of a former Joker is planning on building a number of homologated super EMO's with stroked engines, carbon fibre everything and sequential gearboxes to run at Targa 2011 with his #1 driver moving from the R35 to the new car. Apparently you can have one for a cool $250K (or less if you provide your own "donar" car). I really need to get onto this Racepace GT-R concept before this window gets closed!

Snowman Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 I concur. I think factory specials are ok but workshop specials are going a bit far. But where then do you draw the line with things like the Skelta's / Daytona's etc. It's all too hard - but the big boys with the cash are sure going to exploit it whilst they can I guess. Perhaps TQ will see if there is some way to homolagate his RSR.

Marlin Posted August 18, 2010 Author Share Posted August 18, 2010 Confuses me why they wouldn't base it on the Ten (X). By most accounts, the X is a better "thing".
