ive never had the light on the dash and have twice had the pin under the empty line

pretty sure that the low fuel light is operated seperately to the dash gauge. as i said earlier, it generally comes on with around 10L left before empty, so if you have never gotten down to a point where it has taken over 55L to fill then you haven't gotten the tank low enough

correcto mutcho, when you pull the sender unit out you can see a switch thing on the very bottom of sender unit itself but it will only work if the float touches the switch on the unit. So if the sender is giving false readings saying your are empty (fuel gauge can be on 'E') but then the float will not be in contact with the switch on the assembely because you still have more fuel than what its showing on the gauge.

well im not sure what to say but the fact is that its the O2 sensor that causes poor economy, particularly if u are still getting poor economy when driving the car nicely.

They are less than $100 delivered from the business traders on here n u can change it yourself- peice of piss...

do you have an ECU you can tune with?

If not

I dare to to put a tank load of E85 in the car and run on the standard ECU....post video's for lulz

i dare him to put a tank of e85 in and then try to drive out of the driveway of the servo without needing a towtruck, LOL

fixed your post for lulz

=.=

Just an FYI, my search for a glaring face on the internet lead me to imgur.

From there I proceded to redit.

From there, I proceded to very random places.

And hour later, I had forgotten about this post until I was closing my tabs ><

    • The brakes are all stock bar some DBA slotted discs and the EBC pads and braided lines. The car has brake ducts as standard but they're kinda pointed in the general direction of the brakes rather than really getting at the heat source. I guess I should hit it with an infra red thermometer after a session and see what they're at.  100%! Its just a curiosity more than anything. As I said, high temp brake fluid was such a track day rage back in the day. From people I speak to at the track and threads on here everybody has their own take on it but I'm not gonna scoff at spending a few more bucks. 
    • I've always approached this as, price is comparable between low temp and high temp fluid. Just put in the high temp fluid. I've not going to lose any sleep thinking about could I have saved $20 on brake fluid that is going to live in the car over the next 2 to 3 years. 
    • Nah, the creases were pretty large, and the sheet metal is pretty thin and hard to work out, time alone is in the hours to fix, and would probably have more bog than I would be happy with In other, more happy news, I gave MX5 Mania a call and they have a few clean boots available for $400 a peice, I've contacted Fineline and given them their contact details, I'm a idiot for not thinking of them sooner
    • That really depends on how hot the brakes get and how much of any heat is transferred into the fluid. That really makes it at least a vehicle specific question, and more than like a specific vehicle specific question, depending on what brakes (ie stock, bigger rotors, different calipers) or even what pads are on it. And then there's the question of cooling air. Is there plenty stock? Is there no special cooling arrangements stock? Has some/more been added? In other words, I think you have to do the experiment to obtain the data. And if you;re worried - tie on some ducting?
    • In all the track days I've done over the past few months I've only had 1 issue with braking and thats with my current EBC pads (can't remember the colour, but they're not a track pad). I don't *think* I have had issues with brake fluid getting too hot, my understanding is that when that happens you will have quite noticeable brake loss - which I haven't had.  I'm using just regular ol' Penrite Super DOT4 fluid. I use this fluid in everything and my cars always seem to stop so I see no reason to change, except ... for the 335i. I need to do a fluid flush and was thinking about my fluid of choice and wondering if I should consider using something more high temp? Its not a super fast car by any standards but I'd hate to do a flush and then find myself with no brakes when I get. to Wakefield.  I guess, my question can be summed up as "How fast do you need to be driving to need higher temp brake fluid?"  I remember high temp fluid was considered a must have back in the day when I had my GTR.
