One day i was at autobahn and i decided to buy Racing Super 104 Octane booster, to see what difference it will have. I havent used it yet. Went on the dyno to get a tuning and i asked a High Performace Mechanic about the octane booster. He told me to not even let it near my car. He said that it would ruin my spark plugs and that i would be coming to him for new ones :wassup: Guess i wasted $25 on an octane booster that im never gonna use :Bang: What have u guyz heard bout Octane Booters?

Cheerz :)

so according to this guy, all the cars that have been imported from japan have stuffed spark plugs cause they run higher octane fuel.

ive never heard anything bad about octane booster. the only thing is that some dont boost as much as they say.

High Performance Mechanic?? HHAHAHAHAHA, what the hell is that???

Its funny when people describe others like that!!!

If you run proper 104 octane fuel it will kill your plugs quicker than 98 ron but not to the point of u having to change plugs every week or so.

      I am currently going this route. I am curious how much horse power you put behind the cut bell housing? Collins was telling me I am going to crack it and bluh bluh bluh. Because I didn’t buy the custom fly wheel from him. I am looking for somewhere around like 500 hp

      Thanks @PranK for the updated member status, much appreciated! 👍🏼 Now, about those pics… Unfortunately I could only find ones that I took in the dark. I was soon to discover that underneath it wasn’t in the best shape, but it was mine and that’s all I cared about at the time 😆

      A little PU bush story

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Oh, and only having done this task yesterday, I've now driven the car ~60km since, and while it is hard to avoid placebo effect and confirmation bias, I reckon that some annoyances I had with the way the car has been behaving have improved. Which....kinda makes sense, I guess. If the bushes were really stiff and resisting rotation, they would have been contributing to the effective wheel rate. And if it was more so on one side (which it was, because one side was worse than the other) then.... you might imagine that the additional rate would be asymmetric, and potentially even different between compression and rebound. And so... the car has been twitchy at higher speeds - like freeway on ramps. It really shouldn't be. The wheel alignment is good and there are no (other) known problems elsewhere in the suspension. But at 90-100 on a long sweeping ramp, tiny steering wheel motions would make it feel like it wanted to rear steer. Quite nervous. At lower speeds it would heave about in a manner that it didn't use to. Didn't want to put power down, etc etc. Now...seems to behave better. Am going to have to concentrate on the various corners where it has exhibited weirdness, on the rare occasions when I can get a decent run at them without Methanial getting in the way in his D-Max/Ranger/LDV Van/etc.
