Ever driven next to one of those small trucks or near the back of a government bus with your window down, ear piercing at best, double standards I'm thinking.

When you have a car that can carry 60-odd people I am sure the government won't mind you creating an little extra noise due to the savings on emissions.

If you look up the EPA study on emissions from buses, you will find that the amount pollution out weighs the payload of people, caused from the diesel fuel. Gas is a much better alternative. I can’t remember the exact figure but it was around 1:1.3. Maybe they should make these buses louder? And if your asking yourself why do they want us to take the bus, the main reason is traffic congestion. I think gas buses are a damn good idea. :)

Almost all the buses I catch are natural gas, then again I am near the CBD on very busy bus routes...

And I was only trying to stir :)

yeh in the same bust last night  

an r32 gtr got impounded for 3 months

number plates were TURBOS its maroon

if anyones seen it around

I was at some runs that were happening a few weeks ago and that was one of the cars that was running- with an rx3 i think it was- the guys were trying to convince me to run them

Yeah they should have the race track open more so I can go there whenever I want to drive fast.

get organised - where is the underground? what happened to the good old days when the oldies scanned the police? Maybe set up our own network of citywide cameras and call it a public service where we can monitor the traffic too.

find out where those disrespecting cops who think we should race during the day live.

Even if I opened a farm to racing, I'd probably get sued when someone gets hurt. Is there a way everyone can sign disclaimers for farm racing?

open up a racing suburb where the law says we can race all night.

    • 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.
