The white car
 

As some may know I made the switch to the dark side and sold the RED CAR, miss the little beast TBH, anyway this is the current car that some have seen.
Good for a 66 round Barbagallo with me driving and still more to come, have some 1050 injectors ready to go in with E85 ;)

hhmmmmm....... yes, you are a traitor to the dark side, but that is schweeet :D

E85 excites me!

Sure makes these things boogie, should net 30-40kw more which will be plenty I think. Apparently holden is releasing a E85 commodore in October [URL="http://www.carsguide.com.au/site/news-and-reviews/car-news/e85_ethanol_roll-out"]http://www.carsguide.com.au/site/news-and-reviews/car-news/e85_ethanol_roll-out[/URL] so we should be seeing it at bowsers shortly :D

yeah but pump e85 will have a variance tolerance in it - from 70-85 apparently.

barrel 85 for pure races who cant afford that sort of difference.

very nice.

but why do you still have abs in what is essentially a race car?

Yes I'll be using CSR in 200L drums but when it comes to the bowser I'll tune for that, still going to be a big improvement to 98 and relying on drums is a PITA.

Have not found the ABS intrusive yet, was in it so left it, if it was an RS I would run without it.

I think the pussy is still running aircon aswell.

Was awesome to see this build from go to woah. No short cuts taken except a passengers seat? :)

I think it was a great decision personally.

Haha what can I say I like my luxuries.

we don't even get e10, which is a shame, as a 100ron fuel its miles better than british petroleums finest but bp's monopoly in this state ensures we will never get it. as for 85 on tap, i highly doubt it. CSR blend is the one to buy, not the blended other rubbish that's out n' about. with enough supply on hand, no reason why you can't get your corn fix in perth. i cycle about 2-4 drums a month at my current usage and one thing i have found out is to make sure to ditch any standard style carbon fuel filters as they will block up if e85 is used all the time, or just replace the standard one as part of a scheduled service interval.

once you corn you always corn!

Mr churo, holden is about to release a e85 using commodore, so caltex is rolling it out.

knowing perth though, it will somehow miss out.

with only a handful of sites around australia on pump e85, holden better make a leyland p76 style 44 gallon drum capacity fuel tank!

the required infastructure to get petrol stations e85 compatible will far outweigh the people cueing up to fill, notwisthanding a 40% increased fuel usage bill and a 2-3$ a lt price tag so highly unlikely it will go ahead across the board and less likely here in perth especially if its a road blend of suspect ron content.

if you can't get a source good flow of racing green mix fuel in wa, your not trying hard enough, granted drum and drum pumps are a pain sometimes but its a small price to pay for all the advantages of running this fuel.

Yeah thats current, caltex released a statement the other day saying 100 sites by years end and more to come.

like i said, i wouldnt use it for a performance based thing anyhow as it has a 10 "ron" tolerance - so you might get e75.

I'd have it tuned with a safety margin so pump fuel won't be a problem, plenty of guys over east using pump E85 in track cars, I sat in a EVO 9 the other day on E10, stroker, 400hp + and it was an animal. I'll use drums and see how I go, problem is it doesn't store very well and after a month I'd be hesitant to use it, at the moment I would struggle to use 200L in a month, also in drums at $572 ($2.86L) it isn't cheap, I think it was 96c at the pump.

Ncce and clean
