Unfortunatly Tas is a bit behind, no 98 fuel at the pump, best bet is Burnie Mitsubishi, I beleive they keep is in 200ltr drums for STi's etc. If your about on the weekend call in to the garage should be there workin' on my young blokes car.

i will pop in on saturday monring then, i hear you have some nice mods to your beast now.

Will be good to catch up

If you make it to launy let me know, you can get 98ron at shell on tamar st. expensive though.

i will be in launceston next friday for a while so, if you see me give a shout

i will cal past the shell, i dont mind the price i just need some good feul, up here all ican do is vortex (96ron) and put some octane boost in it, which i dont like doing to my engine due to the amount of internal mods

we saw you in town lastnight!! sweet ride

yeah thought i would drive round and see whats happening which not alot was but that was ok as i was just cruising.

was good to get back to launi, took my mate who has the XR6 for a ride and well after that he dont want to race me any more :aroused:

I went to the shell on tamar street and they wouldnt give me optimax, but for 1.55 per litre i just got premiuim plus octane boost and its runing ok on that.

I was going to go into the car park but i didnt know if any of the guys from here would be there

I went to the shell on tamar street and they wouldnt give me optimax

What?! serious? I know they are strict with who they give it to (being only high performance cars) but geez.

Nice wrx btw.

They told me they can't get high octane fuel in Tassie, and probably won't...

I've been running Vortex with Octane boost... the only time it ever stops pinging...

But damn it gets expensive.. Especially in a 5.8 litre V8....

1000 rpm, 2000 rpm,, 3000 rpm (stall kicks in) there goes $25 fuel lol

Was talking to a local shell rep and he said they are trying to get optimax at a couple of servos from the pump, but he said that it looks like it wont happen until lrp is banned(these pumps will be converted to accept optimax). Maybe a petition would help, even if one servo has lrp and the one up the road has optimax instead?

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
