We've been over this before....

ECU isn't compatible. Plenty of servos around. Why bother.

orly?

The reason I ask is because of this

Because just a few days ago you were tossing up the need to carry a Jerry can or not?

Almost didn't stay up for the race last night. Glad I did :), but boy am I going to pay for it today. Struggle street... :S

Pretty sure I will be going home this arvo to watch it online... I like 4 or the top 5 so I will like the race at least :P

Yeah. And by carrying jerry can problem solved. In fact I can fit 2 of the 20L ones in easily. It was really more of a question of do i stop at every servo along the way or do I take the Jerry can so I can stop less to save time, As I was trying to cram Leyburn and Kawana into one day. My range is limited however, yes, but honestly I don't think that i'll need to go further than a bit of planning will allow at any point in the future.

Part of it is also that i'm still trying to get a handle on the economy of the new Fuel. I was getting 17-18L/100km on the first few tanks but these were city and spirited driving, so max 400km from a tank. From T'bar>Leyburn>home>Logan servo on Saturday I averaged 14.7L/100km which is much better, almost 500km/tank range there.

Once I get the O2 sensors in hopefully it'll be even better again!

I ended up gong through just under a tank yesterday. I brought 20l with me just in case and filled up during lunch at the BBQ. Though the way home was hardly any spirited driving

I travelled to and from bribie island though so there was some km's involved. I left my house with a full tent got to the BBQ point with half tank, threw in my 20L then drove home and once I got there I had half a tank again. A lot better than I expected really

Guess it's less painful paying $1.25 p/litre

Mitsubishi ASX is a POS but fuel efficient... Just don't try to overtake, or corner at a normal speed on a slightly rough road... Needless to say it was over 10hrs in a boring car on the weekend...

What ecu are you using Pete? Nistune?

How will narrowband O2's help with e85?

Better off removing closed loop IMO and tuning for a targetted afr at cruise ;)

    • If it's all just in paint, then....yes. Sort of. Depends on what you mean by "easily". Complete strip and powder coat? Easy. It's just you hand the wheels and a stack of coins to the wheel guy and they come back fixed. Damage to the alloy? Not easy. Still doable. Same basic method. Wheels + money to the wheel guy.
    • Found a set of Rays online for a pretty good price (missing centrecaps), do y'all reckon these chips/dents would be easily repairable?  https://imgur.com/a/My5Sxss
    • Trueee. Anyway I found out you can buy mock ones called ETC melody boxes or Ressha melody boxes and they’re powered by USB so it’s easier to set up. In case anyone else wants to know. 
    • I agree, particularly if the test was done before the engine was warmed up (which is how you would normally do it so you don't burn yourself). Have you confirmed it is not loosing coolant since the first instance? Also, has the overheating after a while thing only been happening since it got hot, or did it do so before that as well?
