What car and what octane do you use?

funky_chilli · 02-07-2007, 08:59 AM

98 RON in everything i drive...not just for extra oomph but for extra mileage...i do have a v.heavy foot!

im_dave · 02-07-2007, 10:11 PM

Good to see you on the forums funky chilli!!!

i use 98 preferably BP, then v-power/optimax. i don't drive a bm, but i find optimax is a little more harsh at idle... and also lends itself to more black soot on the exhaust tips...!

astra · 02-07-2007, 10:43 PM

you're dave?

hi dave!

im_dave · 02-07-2007, 10:44 PM

astra · 02-07-2007, 11:02 PM

im_dave · 02-07-2007, 11:06 PM

love the checks on red/white (didnt think the bm folk would know what cr/w meant!

) minis! you got the roof too?

funky_chilli · 02-09-2007, 09:04 AM

nar i was really tempted to get it but coz i have a union jack rear-vision mirror i thought it'd probably get a little busy

still considering it....never got around to getting them stripes either

there's a reason why i got my sig pic like that, that's what i wnat my car to look like
i'm just missing the checks on the roof and the bonnet stripes at the moment!
but everytime i think of putting new stuff on my car i think, hmm but i want a new one
but i guess i can keep dreaming.....
i really want a new S before the new ones come out....dun want a turbo - LOVE the supercharge whine!

im_dave · 02-09-2007, 09:34 AM

haha... kinda forgot the title of this thread! o well!...

from what i've heard/read/seen, the new s will be an awesome car...

but no matter how good it was going to be, i always had my heart set on owning a supercharged mini at least once in my life! something about that old-school british supercharger charm that just does it for me...!

Nothing but to educate you that a 320 is slower than an Excel (or cannot keep up with it). If you were after a car with abit of go and the Excel costs $5K, you would be wise to choose it rather than spending money that you didn't really work for over a slower car costing $60K.

At the end of the day, it's your money and you choose to buy whatever you fancy, but when you think about it, spending money on something that lacks, it's a worry...and trying to eliminate the lacking with say using higher RON fuel or doing mods just to be on par is even more worrying...

astra · 02-09-2007, 10:34 PM

how interesting, aem, that you of all people is speaking of lacking.. how very interesting indeed...

aem · 02-09-2007, 10:44 PM

lol, what is that suppose to mean?

astra · 02-09-2007, 11:02 PM

figure it out, i am sure you can...

Chris.G · 02-10-2007, 01:32 AM

LMAO, ASTRA and AEM chill. Doesn't matter who drives what or what petrol makes a frikken excel go faster or whatever(whocares). just get back to topic. i thought i was bad when it came to online arguments but i guess not anymore
