Mines like 21 or something stupid and im the biggest gribbly driver, e85 has stuffed me gauges right up

Hahhaha....yeah yeah Dan..and that was when my car was running sh1t!

I'm at a healthy 12.something atm maybe my computer is a little out?...but yeah I only thrash it a little bit when the tanks full and when im down to the last quarter lol but most times hang around the 2000-3000rpm mark

But I drive just under 100kms each day going to and from work...so I try and be stingy with fuel when I can

And Aaron 21 is impressive LOL

Fuel card = foot flat everywhere. And fuel consumption, WHO CARES................

Make consider E85 when its at a few more servos closer. My car isnt a daily.

My VE wagon likes the P100 but my F6 likes it more.

Hey bisches....anybody know if electric boost gauge is more accurate than mechanical ones? Or other way around?

I'm looking at prosport evo boost gauge; but not sure if electric will be inaccurate? Otherwise gotta fork out nearly double and go ghey autometer colbalt :/

Is one easier to install than the other??

Anybody know???

CHEERS!!!!

[discostig]

Mechanical boost gauge all the way!

They will be much faster to respond to boost changes. If you only care about peak readings, the electric I use does the job for me. Just get an accurate set so you don't make 2PSI even with the engine off and "25" PSI under extreme load like I do

Hahaha....cheers Steve...prosport are pretty good yeah?

Just sux cause cheap supplier can only get EVO in blue...but mechanical 'Premium' is only available in red :(

[discostig]

Haven't heard of Prosport but I'm not an expert at gauges.

I use Race Tech which are cheapos $50each and do the job OK, but would like a set of Autometer Cobalt, I know autometer have a great reputation but at triple the price I couldn't justify it.

[PTR_NITRO_FG]

Triple the price...EXACTLY!

I think I read a few ppl using Prosport with good success....that Bellatto guy is running them....except using mechanical :/

Apparently 'good brand' electric is ok....but cheapo not so much....FYI the gauge I'm looking at retail for $90-$120 delivered...and this guy is Perth based for $80 plus $10 for holder...kinda scared their fakes...but says "Genuine" in ad

But yeah...found cobalts at $125 plus $30 for holder... :/

Maybe someone else will chime I too....but if cheapo is good for you maybe it will be ok for me too....stock boost atm plus only really wanna check the fg is running 10psi (or 11 on overboost)...so maybe cheapo will be fine for me too lol

Guy rekons "That's true [about mechanical reading faster changes], but the difference is quite miniscule"....

But will definitely look at your ones (the links provided); at work 2moro....

Thanks Mr Steve

Had a quick go at sanding off some of the clear coat on my rims today, confirmed that I'm not keen on doing it. Will take me f*cking ages and I'll probably mess up and hit the darker paint that doesn't have the "white worm" problem that the faces do. Not sure where to go from here, it annoys the sh!t out of me when I see them up close (whilst admiring brakes) but in far away view/photos it's not noticeable. Not keen on plastidip over stock rims, looks too cheap when you know they aren't that colour (black). Proper repainting of rims costs proper money so I might just suck it up and live with them as is. No one can see it when car is moving anyway

Was also looking at getting baller two piece DBA5000 rotors but decided the extra money should go in to braided lines instead and I'll get DBA4000 rotors like I used to have.
