Using 50 litres of 80% ethanol I clocked 461km from Coffs Harbour out to Yamba, up through Byron, in through Mullum out to Kingscliff and up to Worongary (GC hinterland).

Average consumption was 10.8l/100k which at $1.11 works out to 12¢ a kilometre measured at the pump actual fuel used and trip meter

VFII gets L99!

Of course someone gave you a good reason as to why to coat all the headers.  However in the ideal case you would not coat the inside of your turbo 2″ longer-than-normal setup. Outside definitely, as the main purpose is to increase the velocity by keeping EGT as high as possible through to end of primaries.

Yeah pretty choppy down at 620 RPM, gets a lot of attention at lights and at Macca’s drive through, but too much to bear all the time.

The good news is that I am regularly logging over 1g acceleration in a 2100kg car, which is impressive.

I’m happy with the power and the torque and the acceleration and speed that’s fantastic. The non-idle fuel…[Read more]

I’m happy with the power and the torque and the acceleration and speed that’s fantastic. The non-idle fuel consumption is not bad (around 500km per tank at the moment), but the idle consumption and manners…[Read more]
