dont wanna type my rant 2wice so i'll ctrl-v it:

united have kingsway listed as having e85 on their website AND they told me it would be there when i called head office!

BUT ITS NOT THERE!

i went in today expecting to fill up and there is no pump... this is the SECOND time united have told me incorrect information relating to e85... last time after speaking to head office i drove out to buleen to NO avail!

UNBELIEVABLY disorganised company.... they dont have head office listed with directories, or even most of their outlets!

not happy jan.... srsly how freakin hard is it?

There is NO E85 on Kings Way yet.

I'll know as soon as there is because Lowth drives to the west with 4 jerry cans... he wouldnt be doing that if there was some on Kings Way because he's as lazy as i am :P

I think its listed on thier website as being there, but isnt actually "there" yet

well the tank is at 1/4 full (my standard refill point) and i have done 220k's, nomally i get 320...

so in essence.... if the price of e85 2/3 of the price of 98 then you are getting a free power increase..... and if its below 2/3 you are actually SAVING $$

220kms is that driving with feather foot or driving like how its ment to be driven.

i so want to go to e85 but its going to be a pain for long cruises like GOR or if i ever feel like taking a long drive. gotta carry Jerry cans in the boot.

so tempting to make the switch :cool:

You have a GTR? :)

yep, gone over to the dark side :D

Nathan's old 33 GTR... is a bit of an animal... would love to tune it on E85 as it runs the old Trust plain bearing turbos and although its not real laggy or wanting for power it would be a weapon with an E85 tune

pity you have to drive to woop woop to get the stuff!

320 to a tank?

Jebus... i get 400km's to a tank city driving... open road its closer to 550-600

read harder ash... :P

320k's to 1/4 tank.... i NEVER get it less than 1/4 so i wouldn't really know what i get to a full tank

read harder ash... :down:

320k's to 1/4 tank.... i NEVER get it less than 1/4 so i wouldn't really know what i get to a full tank

Ah... ye :P Was late... lol

but 220km/s to 3/4 a tank

phark... you need a mobile tanker service

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
