Spray what at both ends? I think I musta got confused cos my wife is yelling right now.

I've had a different experience tuning with 95 vs 98. Granted it was with a different engine but it had a very similar compression ratio (8.4:1 iirc), slightly higher dynamic compression (180 psi) and ran a gt35r, a 0.82 rear housing and a large external gate. 3 octane points was not insignificant and allowed for 20% more timing. If you see little to no gain using 98 over 95 then I suspect your car has been tuned for 95 or runs a super safe 98 tune that pulls timing regularly when run on less than 98. This is often the case when you pay for a tune. No sensible tuner wants a car at the ragged edge. Go look at jets tuning thread to see how he felt about taking a stock motor over 500rwkw despite his ability to control knock and fuel. Yes that example is timing vs mechanical but you get the drift. Baring faulty parts a misfire at idle is caused from either; running lean, a too small/insufficient plug gap, incorrect cam timing at idle or too much ignition timing at idle. Bad fuel will cause a misfire at idle too but that seems highly unlikely in your case. Oh I almost forgot, water out of suspension can create intermittent misfires. Fwiw I could run as lean as 15:1 at idle with about 7 degrees btdc but needed 13.7:1 to run 15-20 degrees btdc without misfiring in my other car. I tune my ford to the limits of 98 and would not consider using 95 unless 98 was not available. Sorry for the novel fellas but hey, it might come in handy for someone one day.

Haha no I didn't click it. I don't mind if it gets changed or not. 4 is as good a number as any.

Yeah I suppose if I used heaps of fuel I'd consider finding cheaper options. I currently use less than half a tank per week.

Sorry mate I know you said to gtfo but...my notifications are back down to 4 again. Not that I care terribly and not sure if this helps you at all but thought I better mention it.

But seriously even with a 15 c/L difference it cost less than $10 per tank. I check the price but still fill it regardless.

I'll pm you my bank details.

So...10 then?

Haha thanks mate. I was trying to give you a gentle ribbing but it didn't work. Back to the drawing board.

Today I learned k31th has so much money he doesn't notice his fuel bill. Hey k31th lend is 20 bucks will ya. I'll pay ya back next year sometime.

Awww how sweet, keefy da best. Here mate you can give this to him if you like

Glad to be of assistance mate. I hope you don't think that I'm paying you a beer per notification cos I ain't. Best I can do is 1 beer per 10.

Lol he'll either not give a fark and take it with a grain of salt as he should do or he'll get butthurt af. My money is on him not giving a fark. Op pls reply. You're not dead are you?

I was saving them up for a rainy day so I never click the button to check them. There was 196 there. Actually I only keep them as it let's me know I'm me when I'm on mobile.

Someone checked my notifications yesterday. If only I had a beer for every notification I lost I'd be drunk for a couple of months.

Whs.^^ I run those pads on t3 front rotors and fark me if the car doesn't stop in a hurry. My car did the same thing as yours not long after I bought it. I tightened the turbo and manifold bolts and it was a new car again. Check your tb to cross over rubber fitting as mine had split. P.s if they are worn to fark and broken then they could be breaks?... Ok I'll let myself out now.

Farken spewin. Hopefully the warranty covers it. Keep us informed mate.

The owner may be willing to let you take it for a safety inspection at pedders or ultratune for a cheap general check over. Fwiw I had to drive a 130km round trip to look at my car and test drive it then did the same trip a few days later to pick it up. Imo with your budget you should inspect every car that you are able to purchase. There will be sh*t boxes and there will be a gem out there waiting for you. Obviously saving more money would be ideal but that is up to you.

I thought that didn't look too bad myself but it definitely could have a few grand worth of maintenance needed as could any car. There is something to be said for waiting until a bargain comes along though and not buying the first car you see or test drive.

Fark me. It has been going between $1.30 to $1.45 mostly over here. I did see a high the other week of $1.55.

What does 98 cost there?

Why not both?

I'm pretty sure that post is worth at least $150 considering it's a Sunday.

Easiest is to do what boxy said which was what I had in mind. This is more of a general thing to do when browsing dozens of properties. In this case, as there is already a property chosen for purchase you should get an independent valuation and building inspection. You don't want to buy a nice looking house only to find out that it needs underpinning (like houses in Freeling) or something stupid like that.

You can find out when they bought it and how much they paid for it.
