WHAT DID YOU DO TO YOUR BRZ TODAY?

[therealstoly]

Vanity plates finally arrived and gave it a much needed wash after back-to-back weekend road trips.

Any issues running E85 on the track? Did you notice fuel starvation? (E85 + 660s tires)

I have been running the Verus fuel flap. No issues on this track, the one I am running on 7/17 will be the real test as it has a long sustained left hander.

My car is also splitter, diffuser, and medium wing.

I have the flapper and at Cressen through Horseshoe, Boot Hill, Tombstone(all one big left around 270 deg) it will starve coming out if below 3/4 tank.

-Disconnect battery.

-Dry-clean: Use a shop-vac on reverse (or a blower attachment from an air compressor) to blow away loose dust from entire engine bay.

-Protect: Cover alternator and engine block with garbage bag.

-Degrease: Spray degreaser on surfaces in the engine bay and on the underside of the hood that I want cleaned - avoiding any electrical wiring. Agitate the degreaser with a soft brush to loosen the grease/dirt.

-Rinse: Use a garden hose on the MIST setting to gently rinse away the degreaser. Don't use a high pressure stream or a pressure washer.

-Dry: Using the shop-vac on reverse again, blow away the a water from the areas you rinsed.

-Detail: Remove the plastic bag. Now with a rag and degreaser, use some elbow grease to gently clean any area that was covered by the plastic bag and anything you may have missed.

-Dress up: Using your favourite plastic/rubber protector spray and a clean rag, apply some to any dull plastic cover and rubber hoses to restore their shine. Not really required for newer cars, but might be a good idea for cars that have seen a lot of mileage.

-Reconnect battery.

-Admire your OCD.

I am thinking I will be okay, the big constant radius turn I take a shallow entry and double apex it. I guess I will find out for sure on the 17th. I would like to have that sorted before the SCCA TT even at that track at the end of July.

I've purchased the product for cleaning and dressing. Just waiting on a weekend to get into it. Yours looks great!

I`ll be trying our 98 this w/e It runs great on e85 but fuel starves on 1 long left. Hopefully it won`t starve on 98?

I assume you mean 98 petrol? Should be less likely then with e85.

EU ratings are 95/98, which are equivalent to US ratings of 91/93. So, EU 95 octane = US 91 octane and EU 98 octane = US 93 octane. Top performance with EU 98 octane = 93 US octane
