Thanks Tom,

I take it from your post that you need to be a member of Costco to get fuel there?

I heard that the Caltex down the road has been forced to drop it's price to compete with Costco! I havent been out there to check it out though, busy with useless bloody xmas catch-ups.

Thanks for the tip mate ..

Confirmation on supplier would be good. Google search found Mobil and Shell??? But unsure.

Having had issues with Caltex in the past and at the time not realizing that 98 fuels aint 98 fuels, (much like oils) I would be very wary.

I'm going to email costco to find out.

What do you mean about 98 and oils not being what they claim? I was thinking it would be more about how old the fuel is?

Apparently 98 doesn't mean 98 always. I read a paper somewhere where they tested all of the suppliers 98 fuel and some were as low as 96. If memory serves BP was the highest and most consistent. Hence I've only ever used them for 98

Are we talking 98 Octane or E98?

What people don't understand in Canberra is that there's not much competition so prices go up,plus factor in transport from the nearest pipeline or shore. basic economics. Fuel is probably sold I'm this state at 100%+ profit. That's why the servo next door reduced their price not that they run at a loss at all.

And if you look at the oil price per barrel from UAE they have dropped hence cheaper fuel. F*?n E85 hasn't dropped though!!

    • How much ya asking drunkan 
    • A few other things to round out the chassis mechanical checks. Diff is nice and full of new oil, pretty sure it is Castrol VMX (I run the same on Award's recommendation). I didn't pull the cover to check, but I'm 90% sure the diff centre is a nismo mechanical (old school, not the gt pro). Gearbox is also nice and full of fresh oil, not sure what it is but not redline. Tailshaft bearing looks OK and a tailshaft loop is in place
    • Front lower control arm is standard with new ball joints, tension rod looks like JJR spherical. Front upper control arm is standard with adjustable bushes in the outside end     Rear arms are all nismo, surprisingly all the bushes at either end look standard but in good condition Subframe has standard bushes with lock collars HICAS has a lock bar with standard ball joints at the hub end
    • Next, shocks/springs/swaybars It has Sydneykid valved Bilsteins with HKS pillow ball hats all round. Springs are Eibach race springs on adjustable height platforms, with helper springs in the rear to stop rattling. These are 250 all around but easy to change for something else if required. Swaybars are powdercoated blue but would be Selby's/Whiteline solid adjustables, 21mm rear and 24mm front. Bushes and links in good condition All in good condition, no sign of leaks/damage etc
    • yeah for sure.....remember to put your tools away at the end of each day kids!  Actually it has been kinda nice working on the car, lots of memories of good times. I can pretty much hear him telling me off for stuff still.
