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.

-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!

Downside is I noticed I need to upgrade my radiator. I was hitting close to 240F and having to cool the car down or just pull off the rest of the session. I started noticing last couple years I could hit 230F on water temps and though it was an issue with my cooling stack. Nope, still not better. Koyo Rad on the way.

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

Fitted some MCA pro sport coil overs today. Was going to the track tomorrow but covid has locked us down to the city of Sydney. Lucky to get to the workshop because by the days end I`ll bet we`ll be locked down to the council area which is the biggest in the Eastern suburbs.

Installed my rear tow hook. Tomorrow I’ve got rubber liners for the cup holders and center console, cabin neon lights for show, and my front license plate tow hook adaption (won’t install yet due to waiting on my actual plates to arrive).
