I get 300km per tank... If I'm lucky. Usually it's 280km per tank :(

i think i get good economy now john lol.

the needle is on the e and i normally have done around 380-400km. i dont wait for light.

Also some good news, wife got rear ended in the skyline today. Tool in a ute apparantly "rolled" into her as she was stopped at the lights. Damage minimal. Scratches on rear bar and gouges from the number plate on it as well.

I think it has also pushed boot out of alingement. Biggest issue is that my wife hurt her back quite badly. she started getting sore when she got home. Can i get the guy who hit her to pay for medical costs? I have the fun job of ringing his boss tommorrow to work out what he is going to do about it.

Some people should never get a license.

oh and if any one is thinking about joining a gym to get fit .... dont. The pain after your first weight session should be illegal. i cant bend my arms!!!

i get my best on the moonie highway between a little out of dalby and 30km past westmar. Then it all gets messed up on the 37km of gravel ;)

When I drove from brisbane to mackay in the coon I had an average of 7l/100km. Without cruise control it sits at about 5l/100km/h and with cruise control it's about 6.5.

Around town is about 12/100 because it's auto and i drive in some traffic each day. I think the most I ever saw it was 890 to a tank.

I feel better now, lots of people getting much better economy then I am. It must be a problem with my AFR's and a dodgy pair of injectors/fuel pump. Oh well better get the injectors and pump replaced with better after market ones and get a new ECU and a full tune to sort it out.

*shifty eyes*

great, i've got a throat infection. Can't stop coughing. I'm not supposed to have anything cold either. Pain in the arse. Hopefully these antibiotics will clear it up somewhat fast.

have you tried turning it off and on again?

Have you checked that the power cord is plugged in?

Hello IT

Have you tried turning it off and on again?

The button on the side is it glowing?

Yeah you've gotta turn it on.

Push the button!

My ifail has an app for invision boards so that's how I get on here. I just look really frustrated and they think I'm busy and send me a message on communicator instead of talking to me

    • If you like more modern stuff than the R series, you should check out a V37 400R, they are pretty mod friendly
    • Haha luckily we don't have emissions, inspections, or any laws against power adders here. They only thing they somewhat keep an eye out for are ridiculously loud exhausts. 
    • Just wanted to pop in an update on my setup. The CD swap has been great, I love the mazworks housing for the overall simplicity. I ended up sealing my trans tunnel with a thin sheet of aluminum reused some of the holes on the trans tunnel, and laid some window sealing EPS foam around the edges. Works great, really quieted things down and sealed up the car.  As for the power comment. Right now I am also running about 650whp. with the way the bell housing is attached to the face of the transmission I have zero doubts it would be fine, mainly because the input shaft and main shaft bearings are seated into the bell housing adapter. This means the load is NOT on the bolts to maintain the power, rather into he casing of the bell housing; Yes the bolts are doing some work there, but with both shafts locked in zero worries.  End of the day, the Mazworks solution is the easiest and safest. no need to take your trans to a shop to get milled perfectly, it fits with minimal clearancing, and you can use all your existing clutch and flywheel.  Driving wise the CD has been great compared to the big box, I'll probably swap my final drive at some point. The serial 9 shifter is gooooood, my only qualm is how tight it is, it takes a fair bit to get use to, 5th and 6th are a bit eh/hard to find at times, but maybe I need re-adjusting, and I think my clutch master is very tired and needs a rebuild. 
    • If you are keen, have a look at my build thread. Car is for sale for the right money or straight swap for a F80 M3 LCI.
    • Welcome mate.  No point in over thinking it, buying any one of those cars you mentioned is not a smart or logical choice with the availability of many "better" (re price to performance) cars available to you.  The heart wants what the heart wants, buy whatever it leads you too.
