let me start by saying i hate the rta.

now that i have that out of the way i need your input. do i display my plates while i'm selling them and save on the storage fees or just fork out the cash and store them at the rta. it's not really about the money as i'm going to have to pay $50 to store them or pay $50 to change them to black and whites. i ordered yellows and i'm not about to display the yellows on my car as it looks wrong.

if i display them i can at least advertise them on the car but i'm not that keen to for some reason.

what would you do?

I would display them dude.... in black on white they'll be fairly inconspicuous (sp?) and may as well get them out there so people have a chance to see them which may help them in their decision to buy your plates or not.

Your Dragster.com.au and your Drags.com.au add selling them could EASILY be mis-read as NEVER DISPLAYED. That's the impression "not currently displayed" gives people.

I would however ALSO like them to be displayed on a big f'off dragster.

george, i dont know if youve checked, but you cant store them at the rta for $50

i tried to do the same with my custom plates, and you have to pay the $400 odd dollars whether you have them on your car or not, once you got them originally.

i didn't want to pay, so i handed mine in.

cheers, mark

if you want to store them at the rta you pay the $50 on top of the $400 but if you display them you only pay the $400. that's why i'm thinking of displaying them. plus, i can advertise them that way.

bit of a jip but at least it stops all the ppl that store plates simply for the purpose of selling them. it's hard enough finding a combination for custom plates so you can imagine how hard it would be if storage fees were only $50.

so when am i going to meet the beast?

    • Yea mine does, I assume we all use the same sensor. I'm not sure whether it is exact down to the .1%, but it definitely does have decimal points involved.
    • Haha fair question. For two reasons. 1. Once I'm done migrating my water/methanol system over from pre-TB to direct port, I'll be hitting the dyno again. I also plan on trying Ignite E98 race fuel at the same time. I could not be bothered with emptying the tank every time, so anything between E70-E98 I'll be happy with. "Race" fuels are very expensive vs pump E85, so if I grow annoyed of paying, I may also just cross the border to fill a barrel and keep it in the garage.  2. Quebec is slowly increasing all pump fuels from E10 -> E15 by 2030. My daily fuel is 100RON + Water/Methanol and this will have an impact over the years. 
    • Maybe for when he's feeling rich and buys E85 drums
    • I have to ask, if all your fuel is the same, why did you buy and install a flex sensor?  I'm so confused, what do you use the flex sensor calibration tables for? 
    • Thanks everyone for the responses. Our fuel in Quebec is all E10 by law. We do not have any other options. I know in the US, E85 has a wide tolerance (~51-85%) and I had presumed E10 would also have a slight tolerance but to some peoples point... if it's regulated by law then more effort must be put in to keep it at 10%. I'm thinking I'm just going to remove my sensor, cap an end and fill it with different fuels I have in the shed for my lawn tractor, power toys, etc. They are all lower octane and from different vendors. I'm presuming if I still see no variance from 11% after that, then I can conclude the sensor is no bueno.    Your sensor reads down to .1%'s? I recall mine only reading 0-100%. I'll check in my ecu tonight in case I didn't scale it properly.
