Do u guys have Gull service stations down south mate? Im pretty sure they have it up here. But definitely not as readily available here as it is over the ditch.

E85 is approximately 85% ethanol while the stuff a Gull is about 10% ethanol.

Cheers mate. Seeing your track car done and having taken JAS beast for a spin has given me alot of motivation to get it done.
Just comes down to me getting off my backside and doing it now haha. Lucky time is the 1 thing i have plenty of in my line of work :)

Well fuel system is nearly done, just have to put the tank back up and hook up 2 of the braided lines then give her a test for leaks :)
But spent most of today dealing to the sound deadening on the floor under the carpet.
I decided to give the dry ice trick a whirl so got 5kg from BOC this morning and man its good stuff!!!
Leaving it on the flat surfaces for ten min made it crack nicely so i could just pull the pieces off after a couple of hits with a hammer.
Upright part of back seat and all over the trans tunnel were slightly harder as the dry ice didnt wanna stay on there, so i just chucked a heap in an old sock and attached it for 15 min then moved it to the next section.
Most of it came off after a few taps with the hammer, the rest i used a very sharp chisel on.
Anyway enough talk - pics!

Dry ice in the drivers footwell

After a busy arvo - much better

And that was almost 9kg of deadening that came out, with the stuff on the firewall still to go.

WAY easier than me trying to lose nearly 10kg :beer

what is the point in it in the first place?

maybe keep the deadening next time and make some aluminium reinforced fibreglass doors? put me down for a set when you make them. Gotta be 100 kilo's in both the doors EASY.

I would love to do the doors but thats big $$$$! Il be gutting both of mine once the cage is in anyway so they will weigh alot less than stock.
