Well after getting the injectors cleaned and resetting the fuel presure the car is running sooooo much better now.
Took the car out for a cruz today with the wife.
Did about 120km round trip no hick up sat on 82-84 deg all the way even thou i don't run a fan on the radiator.
sat on 2100-2200 RPM at 110kmh and sounded so sweet.
more then enough power for the car running 10PSI boost and easly pulls 120-130kmh in second before i have to change to 3RD.
In 5th gear it sits on 1100RPM at 60 so i find it easyer to stay in 4th and sit on 1600RPM.
Hopeing the weather will be all good for the night of the 3rd march when a few of use go up to Munchies.
Thanks Dave

Hi everyone, i know i said photo's will be up and they will.
I had to send them to a fourm member to put up for me as my usb is playing up. They will be up sometime tonight and let me say they look bloody grate.
fronts are 17x7 with 215/40/17 and rears are 17x7.5 and tyres are 215/40/17 same as front.
sets the car off now and the front spoiler blends in and looks good too.
So thanks skap for putting them up for me.

I like this car a lot just wish it didn't have the front spoiler!!..i know why you've fitted it and its a common thing for nearly any LC/LJ with an RB Turbo conversion..the intercooler or plumbing always sticks out somewhere..but anyway the wheels are a nice addition they seem to suit it well.

Well what an interesting day...
Put some 100 octaine fuel in the car, Well what was suppose to be 100 octaine. (turns out it was E85) Had to drain 40lt fuel out of the car and drain the fuel system.
What a piss off.
So off to the survo to get some more fuel. This time it will be 98 octaine unleaded

You do know that E85 is rated at slightly higher then 100ron right? so that's probably why they had it labeled as 100 octane fuel..but you just cant put E85 into your car and expect it to run awesome, you need to get it tuned to suit..its good shit though if you live local to a E85 bowser and you want the best performance pump fuel you can buy then E85 is it.

Well isn't it always the way. you spend years building these things up from the ground up and when you get it on the road something goes wrong.
The power booster shit it's self so i have to get a reco one.
