Hi All,

Im in NZ where unfortunately we only have E10 at the pump. Buying E85 is complete ripoff and i dont think my fuel system would cope.

I recently pulled out my 044 and noticed it was full of small particles in the filer. My engine never gets below half way and the tank was cleaned out maybe 1000kms ago. I run an inline fuel filter in the 1 inch pipe between the surge tank and the 044.

I was thinking about ditching the inline filter between the tank and pump as it looks restrictive due to design. An idea ive seen before is to have inline fuel filters into the feeds going into the tank. Im running standard -6 fuel line. What filters are you guys using and where do you get them from?

Are they from a certain model of car or?

THanks

E10 doesnt sound like it has any connection to your filter issues.... sounds more like dodgy storage tanks, i run E10 in my bimmer all the time

So your a fan of the E10 ,the missus always puts it in her Honda i was skeptical..

    • Ah yes but were you responsible? In the time I've had it (just before Christmas) I spun off the track twice and drove into things twice, so four separate incidents.. in two outings. Luckily I have a full OEM GTR front end to put on which is hopefully not a precursor for further, future, more expensive mistakes to come. It is some consolation that anyone who would want to buy my Altia bar would have to paint it anyway, the guards, too. (if they can get over the asymmetry). Hopefully over the weekend I will disassemble and see how badly things are bent. From what it looks like, the headlight has actually just been pushed back and bent the headlight support (which .. somehow... crushed the guard in). I guess the headlight plastic is strong stuff.
    • These things happen And I believe "we, the people, who modify stuff, and actually use it, cannot have nice things" It's just a shame that it happened so soon after paint  I still win the award for quickly destroying newly painted panels I think, as my car came back from the paint shop all nice and shiny, until about 4 hours later when the boot was destroyed by a wayward locker that was blown around by the wind.... What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, and poorer.....dooh
    • This. And also, the rotor thickness is constrained by the calipers. Cannot be much thicker, if at all. Cannot be much thinner, if at all. New rotors are....fairly cheap. Turbo calipers can still be picked up for sensible money. Arguably, the best thing is to get R32 calipers and put them on mount spacers on 324mm discs. That's about the cheapest and easiest way to get quite large brakes that are essentially bolt on. And that's despite maintaining for years that the R32 calipers are not the best choice because they seem to be more flexy and creaky than the others. If you were prepared to put up with nasty little NA sliding calipers, these will still seem like Brembos by comparison.
    • A quick Google said 297mm..
    • Why would you not fit the biggest possible brakes?
