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?

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
