No one expects the taxi lol. There not exactly dailys but im gonna have something that can get sub 10 per 100klm fuel economy, my wife can drive, drive to brissy & beable to still walk & something that doesnt say pick me to the 50.that's just my idea of the perfect daily though Edited 12/10/09 08:55 AM by qik1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reason being is I might not get a chance to race for months & race fuels so expensive to get up here freight wise it would be a shame for it to go off & get wasted.Will put that in after its completely run in & probabaly just before we race it so the conditions are as close as what we'll be racing in. Just to make sure everything is as close as perfect because I may not get a second crack. I dont think the mrs will want a role cage in the family car. lol. We'll see what I can stretch though.

When our shop was building high powered outboards for ski racing that's what we use to use & supposed to be as good as anything else around.I did talk to someone that did some back to back tests between a few race fuels & then used the 50/50 toulene mix & the car performed within a single digit of the expensive gogo juice. Best thing is its got a lot longer shelf life that fuel & you can mix up a fresh batch whenever ya ready to rumble & you know its gonna be consistant everytime.

Our fuel can be abit dodgy up here so I was thinking of chucking a few litres in every tank just to make sure. I spose it depends on how far they try & push it on pump gogo juice.

Things have started to move again today after about 2 wks of not much happening. The fuel system is all bar fitted & the dump pipe is well & truly on its way. All major components are fitted so its just a few fiddly bits & its rolling. I cant get a firm answer on a date but im just happy somethings happening with it. Im getting a nice big blow off valve fitted again. Will miss the turkies under the hood but would be too crazy with 30psi of boost goin off without a valve. Would be a whole farm under there.lol.
