OK i'm cleaning out the garage of accumulated parts! I'll add to this as i find more, and photos are coming soon 1) VOLK GT30 19x9.5 +30 , gunmetal spokes and polished rim. shod in Maxxis tyres 245/35 with barely legal tread 2-3mm. look awesome on Evo X and Ralliart $2200 the lot. http://www.clubcj....

I'm getting hold of one of the aftermarket fluids shortly.
will do a detailed compare and contrast, and see what's what.

yeah heaps of ppl in the USA and europe have used ravenol
people were quite convinced it was the same stuff, then some stories started surfacing about cars not behaving properly on it. who knows if it is coincidence or not!

I don't know for sure what is in it.
I haven't even seen it yet.... but from what I have heard it should be ok.
I'm still sticking to the oem stuff though. just in case!!

What is the Motul fluid worth?
Martini sell SST fluid now too. and charge a nice premium to decant something from a big tin and put it into smaller tins. I am pretty sure Motul is doing the exact same thing
and, i'm sure it will be fine! heheh

dayam!
also getting away for a day with a baby at home is tricky enough, let alone bailing for the entire weekend.
Phillip Island the next weekend too, so I think wifey has been pretty lenient already

^^ get a few people in SA interested and i'll come over.
3 or 4 cars, and a dyno that we can use on a saturday and i'm in
i used to do midweek visits, but i am gainfully employed during office hours as of Feb this year so unless i'm *cough cough* sick i can't really escape.

Hi guys, I'm flying up for a whirlwind 24 hour tour the first weekend in February to tune a couple of fairly nuts Evos. I'm pretty sure I'll have time to do an extra car while i'm up there, so it will be during the afternoon at some stage The action is happening in Wakerley, right after i give mysel...

evo injectors and evo fuel pump. the rest is stock NA lancer. That is great economy out of the Renault! the 4B motor family seem to be thirsty beasts compared to a lot of the other jap and euro motors of similar age. I imagine the RS250 with 184 at the motor would be pretty similar to this thing on ...

increased drivetrain losses, and pushing more weight around can't help!
but AWD doesn't wheelspin in 1st and 2nd like this thing does heheheh

even on 98, Denis was getting like 450-500km to a tank with the turbo on. No Evo I know of gets more than about 400km on a combined city/highway tank! So I expect we might see 350 on e85 if we're lucky. It is such a shame United is pretty much pricing E85 out of the market though. First it was 30c c...

you can just cut and paste the VE, fuel and timing parameters into your own rom and it will work I'd say

can't wait

lol I read that as "2 hours + fap time"
and i'm thinking, gee you really love your car...

yeah i need to remove that CEL. It annoys me and it isn't even my car! There's normally 2 boost solenoids on an Evo - we obviously have zero of them. So the ecu isn't happy about it, given said ecu thinks it is sitting in an evo. I have the software disable for the secondary solenoid, but we are goi...
