Just FYI.... the first Texi in Sydney is June 12, and it's only $30 if it's your first time with us.

It's not *too* much of a shitful drive from here as Quakers Hill is just off the M7.

should be fine, how much power do you have?

Smoke-worthy power?

Im not sure, would be 140kw at the rears (ish) and about 390nM torque.

Enough for a 400m speed of 189km/h

Might bring a few sets of spares to see what gives good grip.

Hopefully I will have Pinky back on the road for the April local Motorkhana.. If all goes well, got my side indicators half installed, new mirrors on, will have my front indicators soon then get the front bar fitted and sprayed and all ready to go!

more details on the cressie kthx

Bought it as a finished project, built for daily duties and long cruises. Came with a trailer load of spares, literally.

When its washed up a bit I'll get some pics and maybe a mini-build/ fix it diary thread.

Currently waiting on the USA for cool-flex radiator hose couplers. (1.3/8" rubber joiners for the custom rad hoses)

So its not running.... missed very much too. The Holden Cruze/Ignis just doesnt do it for me :(

    • Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though
    • and it ends up being already priced in as though you're just on 91RON without any ethanol. Car will lose a bit of economy as the short and long term fuel trims bring down the AFR back to stoich or whatever it is for cruise/idle for the engine.  
    • Oh, you are right. But, in Australia E10 is based on 91RON fuel and ends up being 94RON. Hence it being the cheaper option for economy cars. The more performance oriented cars go for the 98RON fuel that has no ethanol mixed in. The only step up we have left then at some petrol stations is E85.
    • There is a warning that "this thread is super old" but they ignore that anyway...
    • With 10% Ethanol, we're talking 2-3% fuel consumption difference. The emissions reductions and octane boost in my opinion far outweigh this almost non existent loss.    My tanks sitting at 80%. Luckily that should go down fast as I'm on vacation again for the next two weeks.
