"Your" 98 is shipped in the same unflushed container as kero, diesel, 91 octane etc...... we'd rather not take the risk of a bad batch. I've seen it too many times before.

But do tell if there's been a major change in the garunteed quality of the fuel?!?!

Yes please do ask.... would be good to have a definative answer :P

Like I say, just spoke to Vandenberg again, he said they're not running over to the mainland for 98 fuel this time, but suggested we bring our own to run in the 35.... don't wanna risk one of thiose engines :D

Looking forward to seeing the car in the flesh Ben, I'll be SOS on the chicane on stages SS2,7,8 and 13. Hopefully i'll be able to have a video camera running so i can see the performace of it accelerating out of the chicanes.

Sweet :dry: I'll give you a wave on the way past :/

ahh looks good, the stickers always make the race car.

no idea how you found spare money from ACL though considering their last 12 months!

Kel and Tony's 35, and the 32 are on the boat to Burnie on Thursday arriving Friday

Just a little something my mate at the Advocate whipped up to support the Boys racing next weekend.

the car looks awesome russ!

over the next couple of months i'm going to take some random samples of tassie pump bp 98 and have them tested by the company we have contracted for next years events do get some hard data of local 98.

Spoke to a manager down at the wharf the other day, he told me that the fuel comes in different tanks. They (the fuel companies) won't risk cross contamination, they have pretty stringent quality control procedures. So hopefully it's as good a quality as any where else in the country :(

hey thanks Stuart, i will proably be meeting you soon.

i really want to do the Wrestpoint Targa, & will have an entry in very soon. sounds like a top event.

also atleast we know we can get fuel over there!

cheers guys

    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
    • OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
