I catch the train to work, so my only drives are on the weekend for fun, and some errands during the week

Two cars would just be silly

Guess the beamer's gotta go then

On a side note, I never appreciated my car more than when I had Alvin's auto as a daily driver. Daily and weekender is the way to go. You try to combine both and you're taking your compromise work chariot out for weekends = not the same.

f**k that combine all the way.

And by combine, i mean be a man and deal with the uncomfortableness.

I had 6/8 coils slammed and wound all the way up, solid bushes and mounts, bride bucket that was on the floor with high bolster than squashed my balls, 330mm wheel with a 50mm spacer, a tripple heavy duty single playe button clutch and nismo diff.

I LOVED driving that thing as a daily. The ONLY drawback was police attention. The way it handled made even a short drive at the speed limit fun.

Yeah I thought up to 30% less would be pretty normal, but the problem was I was only getting 300-350kms to a full tank on a standard ecu with 100 octane, wasn't very impressed with that.

well the stock tune is overly rich and that's really all you will get from anything other than highway driving anyway

Birds I know E85 wasn't made for Economy, but what kind of mileage are you getting around town for a full tank?

I'm not the best example for economy simply because I race a lot / enjoy my car, and 80km/h is 4th gear territory for me (always like to have power on tap).

So with that said, my daily driving is 17-18L/100km on E85. I fill up with about 52 litres (~$60 thanks to United's rip off pricing now) and that's usually just shy of 300km.

Mind you, my fuel economy before that wasn't fantastic...about 400km to a tank on 98, with a pretty rich tune. I used to get 450 on the standard ECU with fresh O2 sensors.

Have you changed them in your car? They make a hell of a difference if they are worn and you're running a closed loop tune.

    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
    • Yes sir am asking is there possible way from aem tuner from wiring pins 
    • Have you checked cam to crank timing and confirmed balancer marks are correct?
