Thorin Posted September 28, 2003 Share Posted September 28, 2003 I hope not too. I'm looking forward to it now, I've had my fueling checked and apparently from 4k rpm to the redline fueling is spot on. Was running a bit rich at low revs but not that bad really, have tried cleaning the O2 sensor too so hopefully that might sort that out. Roll on next sunday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Firewire is just FASTER ? ?) no problem.good to see supras in action.i have been to last few drag meets there. when i go i get optimax before i set off. but on a64 york road just before you get there is a garage next to macdonalds that sell super plus unleaded. the cortina guy uses aviation fuel and mixes it with optimax he also fills up nos bottles too. and last time i was there there was a stall selling coolblue 76 race fuel 106ron for £39 for 10 liter drum will look on ebay for a fireware card. the cam i bought it off sister but she cant find the software cd she got with it downloaded a usb driver somewhere.
