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?

    • The spray cans were in the "Kiln" room whilst I was preping the parts,  so probably around 2 hours to get them warmed up, the kiln room has 3 small ovens running at 100°c, 3 medium sized ovens running 100°c, and the large one I used running at 80°c, the room itself was about 28°c, I also spent a bit of time taping up the parts in the room as well, and by the time I was done I would assume that the parts were around that 28°c As for power, I expect a couple of Killerwasps up high would be achievable with the current mods, I'm still running the MZR 2.0 intake and throttle body, and there is a slight mismatch with the 2.0 intake (smaller) and 2.5 intake ports (larger) on the head, this intake is matched and specifically designed to fix this issue with the ports mismatch, the throttle body is also a couple of mm larger, OEM is 65mm, the Bosch is 68mm In the end it will look "prettier" than the molded plastic thing that is the OEM MZR 2.0 intake As for the LSD, it's the OEM Torsen which works fine for what I use the car for, plus, basically no maintenance apart from the occasional oil change
    • I was at Tunehouse in Marrickville (great team over there really know their VR's) , and I spotted this Very clean R35.  
    • Mate , I have the same issue right now with the exhaust noise , if you can tell me what your local guy did , I'll talk to my guys and see if they can do the same. Power is good but it just too loud when put it down. 
    • The other trick I've found with wrinkle black is to put the can in hot water for a bit to warm the paint up, and to pre-heat whatever you're painting. It'll be interesting to see if you pick up any power with the intake, following with interest. Got a proper lsd for this?
