Yes it’s still there, saw it it earlier. Very reputable local dealer too!

Re: Pre mix oil

I seem to remember RRP recommending two different Motul 2 stroke oils depending on whether you were pre mixing or SOHN ing.
Can’t remember which way round or the reasoning but maybe Carl will clarify.
I always used 710 and put an approx 120ml squirt in every fill up.

Re: M12's & Friends Project 400+

Hi Dan If the battery has gone flat or disconnected it will need to re learn all its fuel trims. I used to do this by just driving it. It does take a while. Others may know a quicker way but it will not tick over until the trims are re learnt. I cannot remember whether the screw throttle peddle stop...

Re: What have you done to your RX-8 today????

The M6 is all elevated around there. They are expansion joints which seem to be deteriorating by the year. Hopefully there is a plan to replace them.

At least on the Dyno they will be monitoring all its vitals so probably a safe environment to test its potential.

Re: Toyota GR Yaris

I think there are two things there Mark.
1) Supra's seem to put out more than the quoted hp
2) Aerodynamics are better on the Supra than Yaris which has greater affect as speed builds

Re: UPDATE 3/21: **SAFETY ALERT: Fuel Tank recall - Fuel Leaks & Other Issues"

Some interesting info on airbag life from the AA Mods please move if this should go somewhere else. When airbags were first introduced they were anticipated to last 10 years and were dated accordingly. In light of experience this was extended to 15 years and more recently there’s been no ‘replace by...

Re: UPDATE 3/21: **SAFETY ALERT: Fuel Tank recall - Fuel Leaks & Other Issues"

I’m not sure how much of an actual issue the fuel pump seal is? Does anybody know of anyone who has had an actual issue or failure? With the airbag fault from what I understand you won’t know there is an issue unless you have an accident and they fail to go off or only partially inflate. I wonder wh...
