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.

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

Phuck bolts, too heavy.

Zip ties and black Sika is where its at.

black sika? forget that, just get into some black nikka and you will think chewing gum is all the sealant you need... my nikka.

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.

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.

Ric know's how to build them, and with his mullet powers he can race them too

yeah those more cost effective E85s work under the regs.

for THC mark and the team at race fuels will be doing e85 fuel service http://www.racefuels.com.au/, and there is a 98ron servo on the coursewe cross over twice daily (well prettty close on sunday anyway).

touché... both the red and silver ones!

word on the street is they're right up there with white gts-t's :)

actully it's better than mine, i just got 0km/40l when i emptied my tank. The fuel was so stale it wouldn't run a lawnmower

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.

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!

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!

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.

    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z

    • Wanna rewrite all of that in, say, 2 or 3 separate sentences, so that we can read it?
