It'd be nice to have 100 octane fuel here. E85 doesn't count cos you gotta use too much of it and the local elf fuel is $5/L. Just saw that post, how long has the car been off the road for?

Slowxr6t Member 561 Member For: 6y 25d Location: New zealand Posted 08/03/22 06:59 AM Share Posted 08/03/22 06:59 AM Sure does, satisfying as, especially as iv done it all myself and have done it really really well, had a few hiccups along the way but it's all sorted really well and I know everything that's done to it right down to every bolt and clamp on the car. Probably spent about 13k in parts alone, done nearly all labour myself so probably saved about 8k in labour and learnt tons along the way. Havnt let any rough monkey mechanics stuff it up. Stoked as! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slowxr6t Member 561 Member For: 6y 25d Location: New zealand Posted 08/03/22 07:11 AM Share Posted 08/03/22 07:11 AM Looking back on this forum I took car off the road and onto the hoist way back in late September 2021 and started fixing what I thought was leaky crank seal. That's when the can of spaghetti was opened. 6 and a half months ago. No powersteer or oil or water or wastegate leaks now yaa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm already putting off my rebuild so I can waste more money on Ron. Probably should just not and put it back together now while the weather's good lol.
