I have no idea about it. I have a meth kit, as it came as part of a tuning kit for my car. The ECU in my car does have a 'meth' map.

I might have the same kit or similar. But mine says something about mixing water and meth in the window washer bottle.

Too much confusion.

Anyone actually installed one or know of someone who has?

Also, where to get the right meth from?

Cheers.

hmm sounds a bit risky to play with it when you dont know the history of it. The idea is to blend 50:50 water and methanol and add to the container which the system is connected to. Normal setups come with a dedicated tank and do not use the window washer bottle. Depends if the previous owner did a dodgy or removed the system?

You will need to find a supplier of methanol (methylated spirits is ethanol with a bit of methanol put in to stop people drinking it, so that wont work)

Most race fuel suppliers can supply methanol in 20Ltr or drums etc

Methonal is very dangerous and you dont want to smell/touch it etc. An option is to run just 100% water instead. That will reduce the air temperature but will not give more octane (methanol is like 120ron). A blend gets the best of water and methanol but having 100% water is easier to manage.

Apparently neither does the meth...guy at work reckons that when he had his own detailing business, one of his employees used to toss back a bottle of methylated spirits at lunch time...you know you have a problem when your alcohol doesn't even come from the liquor store.

oh man thats so bad haha

Nitro-meth is another level. Instead of using water-meth blend, you do a water-nitrometh blend. Moar powar

I refuse to jack off with anything but glitter lotion

Tuesday morning lulz

What did everyone do this long weekend?

I went on a 3 day bender.....

I think my heart stopped beating a couple times..

Helped a mate buy a s13 shell. Went to parents holiday house and fishing.... I've never really liked fishing, this time was different, it was good to just stand there pondering things. Fishing is kinda like extended shower time, Just stand there thinking about things.

    • Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.  
    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
    • I forgot about my shiny new plates!
    • Well, apparently they do fit, however this wont be a problem if not because the car will be stationary while i do the suspension work. I was just going to use the 16's to roll the old girl around if I needed to. I just need to get the E90 back on the road first. Yes! I'm a believer! 🙌 So, I contacted them because the site kinda sucks and I was really confused about what I'd need. They put together a package for me and because I was spraying all the seat surfaces and not doing spot fixes I decided not to send them a headrest to colour match, I just used their colour on file (and it was spot on).  I got some heavy duty cleaner, 1L of colour, a small bottle of dye hardener and a small bottle of the dye top coat. I also got a spray gun as I needed a larger nozzle than the gun I had and it was only $40 extra. From memory the total was ~$450 ish. Its not cheap but the result is awesome. They did add repair bits and pieces to the quote originally and the cost came down significantly when I said I didn't need any repair products. I did it over a weekend. The only issues I had were my own; I forgot to mix the hardener into the dye two coats but I had enough dye for 2 more coats with the hardener. I also just used up all the dye because why not and i rushed the last coat which gave me some runs. Thankfully the runs are under the headrests. The gun pattern wasn't great, very round and would have been better if it was a line. It made it a little tricky to get consistent coverage and I think having done the extra coats probably helped conceal any coverage issues. I contacted them again a few months later so I could get our X5 done (who the f**k thought white leather was a good idea for a family car?!) and they said they had some training to do in Sydney and I could get a reduced rate on the leather fix in the X5 if I let them demo their product on our car. So I agreed. When I took Bec in the E39 to pick it up, I showed them the job I'd done in my car and they were all (students included) really impressed. Note that they said the runs I created could be fixed easily at the time with a brush or an air compressor gun. So, now with the two cars done I can absolutely recommend Colourlock.  I'll take pics of both interiors and create a new thread.
