Term, I've found out that my Stagea goes through the petrol with short trips and city driving.  But on the highway it's fine.

I think it's cause of the auto box and short trips when cold (cold = rich).

I wonder if you could put gas on one of these..  lol

Don't even joke about gas, i hate that stuff so much.

does gas work with turbo's? because i know the emmissions are different, and turbo's run on emmissions. a lot more water comes out of a car running on gas i think.

lol, I couldn't go gas on the Stagea. Nowhereto put the gas bottle anyway...

The old man has got gas on his VS commo. 440km's costs him about $20 !!! 440km's for us is about $65 :rofl:

I've seen a few turbo cars with gas but I'm not sure if it's the same setup as a N/A car. But to get the most out of it you'd probably need to tune it just for gas and not dual fuel..

There are plenty of cars out there that are turbo and gas.

The same principle for fuel works with gas, the more boost you run the more fuel, but in this case would be gas.

To get more gas you just add an extra mixer.

I checked the other day, and put around 45 - 50 L in after 300 or so kms of driving if I take it easy (city). So, its pretty poor but I love it. :rofl:

On the open road its tons TONS better, I can get to Sydney from here on a tank easy (500 + kms)

I thought "dedicated" gas systems could make great power, cost the same (if not more) as you use more gas but the higher octane rating actually helps.

Yeah they do still get good power out of them, but there has always been the difference in power (only slight).

yea i read a car in zoom that was pushing big power i think it was a gas powered datto was some good power too.

Dont get me wrong, you can still make great power from gas. I know of quite a few cars that have gas and have big power.

But if it were better then fuel, then i would think that the guys that go for big hosrepower, like at the summer nats would all have gas on there cars.

I have lots of parts my self just from wrecking cars, but dont have a grill.

Check www.ausrotary.com for parts. The guys on there have heaps of stuff.

There hasnt been many RX3 grills for sale lately, but keep looking, you may find one.

    • Did you pay with a credit card? I'd be putting a charge back through then finding a new sparky to sort it out. 
    • If you mean the alarm immobiliser; theyre internal to the alarm itself which makes that difficult; I couldnt even see where he put it; its not in the same place as last time; but with all black wiring it might be very challenging to trace  I had someone turn the key for me as I know it only primes for a couple of seconds As my post above; I am getting no voltage to the pump at all; but I am testing continuity of the power line (SB) from the pump plug to the relay fine. As well as the negative from the pump plug to a 12V constant.    Yeah; he blammed the no start on a bad battery; said I needed to get a new battery and it'll start. Turns out the battery drained because the tail lights had been on for half the day during the install (the rubber cushion on the brake switch gave out while he was testing it as I have a picture of the car from that morning with the tail lights off..i've replaced that). The battery was turning over the engine just fine for a long time; but got low since lights were draining it so it was too low to test a start after he finished. I bought a new one on his advice...$250 wasted. My original battery charged up just fine and is healthy.    It was running perfectly fine when I messed up the old alarm (programmed out the remotes). He couldnt start it after removing the old alarm; my assumption is that when he unhooked it; he didnt bridge the circuit back when trying to start it. Its always been perfectly fine. The ECU swap and pump were 2 years ago. It's never missed a beat in that time. 
    • This is a big issue for me without the diff. I just have zero drive from the passenger side when drivers side has no traction. Bec's parents place has a crazy steep driveway with odd camber and I have never been able to get up. My bro-in-law's 130i with an (unknown brand) LSD gets up fine as does their dad's Hiace. My car stays at the bottom. We have other odd camber roads around here as we're elevated a bit and if it's raining I can get totally stuck around some hairpins. 
    • Yeah, I am super excited for this.
    • Was the car running before he touched the car?
