Re: E85 carbies?

From a racing perspective, it is the same as using methanol. You need to drain the tank of E85 and run the car on gasoline after each event for 5-10minutes to flush the E85 out of the system so that it doesn't absorb any moisture and leave gummy deposits in the fuel system. We do this on my brother'...

Re: Wide vs Narrow 4g63/4 options

Depends on the car its going in to. R154 are super expensive and won't fit in the tunnel of a lancer/galant without fitting a bigger tunnel to the car. I'm going down the RX7 turbo gearbox route with my car, as there are a lot of aftermarket close ratio gearsets available for them. I'm currently usi...

Re: Recommendations for panel beaters in Sydney.

Have you spoken to Mick Russell at M&N Smash in Seven Hills?

Knows his stuff, does a lot of race car repair work and old stuff. Had my Lancer race car shell on the rack there to get it straightened out before we started on it.

Worth a call just to have a chat to him.

Re: Off set.

The missus old 2007 Fiesta XR4 had +52 offset 17x7's on it from the factory and her current 2013 WRX has +53 17x8's on it from the factory. I haven't seen anything else with that much offset, but I haven't really looked that hard either.

I think I'll have the Lancer there at this point in time, as I have to have it ready to rumble for the Snowy Mountains 1000 a couple of weeks after that.
