"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

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
