  1. Whoops i was referring to the base petrol :) Bit of a catch 22 how do you demonstrate your cars tuned for it? Without putting it in and tuning it but, you need to tune it first to buy it :/
  2. looks like its had it teeth kicked in :)
  3. It IS drinking alcohol have a dive through wiki to get a crash course in fuels. 98 is 'pure' petrol, though petrol is made up of a load of stuff. E85 is 85% ethanol with 15% regular petrol (duno which ron it is though i doubt it would matter at those concentrations).
  4. Cheap accelerometer would be just as useful for 'shift light tuning'
  5. Fully restored 1984 colt running evo drive line :D
  6. hahaah love it :D
  7. Stupid *** spam froward emails.
  8. 10% is nothing its really not THAT caustic to plastics. Youll find a lot of those stories from places that run 50 - 70%. Just have a look at the people making and using biodesiel they are pumping through much more than 10% into old trucks.
  9. Bring it on! Ethanol strips old rubber, but new rubbers should (should) be able to handle 10% easy. IMO its blown out of proportion. Ethanol makes less specific energy / weight, but burns cleaner and cooler (run higher compression and or boost and or timing) I want E50 :D
  10. Probably the same guy?
  11. I'm looking for some splits, i don't want to spend top dollar. But i don't want absolute crap. I was considering Jaycars Kevlar splits but people are saying there very bright to the point of hurting your ears. I might drop into the store tomorrow and have a listen. I'm looking to spend under $200 (100-150). Suggestions?
  12. wisdom teeth :P getting all 4 out on friday...
  13. I want a_playground like that too!
  14. While cleaning the garage i found a really low quality tyre pressure gauge, i tried it and it exploded. :'(
  15. Bah don't worry about buying another mount couple zip ties will do it :'(
  16. I'm not saying it will but it might, you really have to test it your self if your going to get serious about it :yes: When i did some tests on the volvo highest places were the front grill area and just above the air dam. So what would look like below the bumper indicators on yours. J. Also what irokin said NACA duct would be sweet.
  17. ^^ :hmm: You might be surprised when mounting small bonnet scopes (Near the front) that you might have a negative pressure. So be careful :P The best place imo would be right before the wind screen, you will get a positive pressure there. Aerodynamics is really surprising and alot of your intuitive thoughts are wrong (atleast mine were :yes: ). Best thing if you want to find the ideal place and a play around with a manometer (or similar thingy) testing different spots on the car.
  18. love bliss n eso :dance: Fortune & Fame Feat. Howling John Stone - Downsyde
  19. You can pick up kits for around $50. There easy to install depending on what your term of easy is. Remove door trims, mounts actuators and bend and tweak the connecting rods. iirc took about 4hrs to do 4 doors.
  20. How long does it last is the only thing. Been thinking of the same kind of thing only with nitros and dedicated bottles / cylinder. And heat exchangers :dance: :P
  21. You do have something to prove. You brought up how much money you have and had a corvette. Maybe think about what your posting before pissing everybody off.
  22. lol don't have a huge data base of old cars in my head :( Nothings going to stop me wanting that :)
  23. I want that mustang/kingswood?? (cobra badge??) in my life :)
  24. Or you could just not bother at all and sit at home playing with yourself. Id say go for it if you want to make a 55. It will be more expensive but at least it will be a little more unique :)
