TiTAN Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Pretty sure grant just drove it like he stole it. Never shift below 4500, cruise at 2500-3000.

Yay me. #autolyf Lol f**k, and I thought filling up mine every 350km or so was a pain in the ass. that would mean you'd be looking for a servo after 150kms Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/458531-vic-wasteland-thread-150/page/766/#findComment-7843964 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kinkstaah Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 I pretty much consider a full tank of gas for any kind of spirited drive - I.e going to Healseville, Mt Donna Buang, Buxton, etc are all $80 affairs for the round trip. 98 gets me maybe 20-30 more kms from the tank. It isn't so bad as my drive to work is 5km, if I had to commute an hour each way every day then oh boy. $ Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/458531-vic-wasteland-thread-150/page/766/#findComment-7843967 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leroy Peterson Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Reminds me of a street machine mag I was reading during lunch the other week, old man with his yellow classic Monaro with 900hp that runs 9's saying he drives it every weekend and is a great cruiser. Runs bicycle wheels are the front and a 2 speed powerglide. Have fun with that buddy. Would make Gregs fuel economy look like a VW golf diesel.

TiTAN Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 2 speed with a loose af converter wouldn't be too horrible to drive around with a big cube v8. The skinnys and likely mini spool or locked diff would make it a bit of a pig though.

Rekin Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 She is back and powered by e85.Relied on the stock fuel pump wiring to keep up but couldn't hold fuel pressure. Dyno tune aborted but car is driveable for the 1000km run-in. Time to rack up the km's for the eflex tune. 3 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/458531-vic-wasteland-thread-150/page/766/#findComment-7844277 Share on other sites More sharing options...
