[QUOTE=justin1992;36680857]New Mexico, or at least Albuquerque's fuel is absolute shit. Not only is our 91 (the highest you can get out of a pump) equivalent to about 86 in Cali, but I've never seen so much DIRT. Half the gas we put in is fucking dirt...Wreaks havoc on our fuel pumps and filters at the cab co, they don't last very long.

I'd kill for some higher octane fuel...Not that i need it seeing as I'm not boosted but still.[/QUOTE]
so much of the shit I put in my (literal) lawnmower is cluttered with dirt, it's weird. I don't wonder if its the same when we put it in the cars. I gotta replace the fuel filter on the mower at least every two years, which is kind of a lot.
It's lasted 10 years though so I dunno
[QUOTE=Dylan_94;36680547]Isn't our 91 technically 93 on a vaguely different scale or some shit?[/QUOTE]
Don't know if it's the same for Canada, but I know some places, lower down south, sells 94 octane. All I have access is 91 here, but either ways, I run on 91, no lower, so I'm fine.

Aw man, that sucks, there was this station on 2nd that sold all sorts of fuel, from e85, all the way up to race gas.
2nd is quite a bit out of my way...How can i find places that sell higher stuff?
Well, If I buy a sr20 out of a S15 then i'll already be at my power goal!
[url]http://www.jspecauto.com/catalog_product.aspx?prod_id=243[/url]
This one costs 3.5k and begins at 250hp (My first power goal)
This would let me work on power delivery (Transmission,Driveshaft,LSD,Rear axles,brakes,wheels,ect) , suspension and the likes.

Have you started on a car yet Koenigsegg? You should just buy your car and get started
Backed into my friend's car today. No damage, except for two license plate screw indents on my back bumper :v:

I might be getting a turbo brick project!
A smoking hot girl comes pulling up in a Volvo 850. I ask if it was for sell and she sayed "YEA! whats your number so I can send you the details later."
Here's the thing. Its a like a newer 1997 model (Unsure pacifically what year wagon it is)
But the rear hatch is in caved a bit, and the interior is.... far from what I like.
But it runs and has a turbo. That's all I care about!
Here is the thing. Its in "Fair" Condition needs quite abit of work. (Not even sure on if it runs "well")
How much should I offer? KBB says 2,100 "Fair". [sp]WHY 97 VOLVO BETTER RETAIL THAN 99 AUDI[/sp]
Sooo offer her 2k and call it a turbo wagon project? hnnnnnng rolling around town doing blow-off's
I'm so glad my car is the facelifted version. 01-03 looks normal and boring. 04-05 is where it's at on the 7th gen.

Same car, without a spoiler and pre-facelift(and hub caps, i personally like steel wheels.). I'd assume that's an EX/HX pictured as well. My car has black side mirrors because it's the lowely LX, but it looks better that way in my eyes v:v:v
Need moar low Dylan_94.
Coilovers now!

I prefer the old front to be honest, but whatever floats your boat man.
also like shiban said, it is rather high.

Nothing special really, just me driving home from a friends house, music was picked up SUPAH loud on the mic.
I'll agree it doesn't look too bad in red, but I've only ever seen them in silver. I'm not trying to fix my car up, really, just maintain it. I'd rather save up for an s2k, my dream car. The em2 isn't the best platform to throw money at.
Just listed my car for sale - hoping to get some money for it.

Well...
I've seen some 850 turbos go for 1700 in decent condition. Dunno, you could possibly go with it.
About my project, Replaced AMM FPR and Ignition coil, absolutely NO DIFFERENCE. Car still barely runs then stalls, shit...
I might have to hire someone else to finish what the mechanic couldnt.
So 1500 in labor + more labor.
Feels great :(
Holy shit I had the most frustrating ride with my mom today. I SERIOUSLY do not want to be her GPS again...
I had to pick up my fixed laptop charger at a store and since I don't feel like taking the bus (I should have though, for many reasons) and I don't have my full license yet, I asked her to take me there.
It was fucking hell... Its beyond me how she doesn't knows shit about the city. I tell her to go to the avenue near the mall, she still has to ask me directions to go there. After that, she goes the wrong way and misses a turn. Just before missing that turn, she expected to change 3 lanes at once right on top of the roundabout and turn it to the left.
We get to another roundabout, and about 3 or more cars in front of us split to the left and to the top right. She asks me if she has to follow them and I say sure since the last car was heading left where she should go. She ends up going top right and yelling at me because she was following the 2nd car in front of us for some weird reason instead of the one right in front of us...
More tracking back after some guys taking a shitload of time to clear the road, she goes into a place where we could park the car. She had parked the car there hundreds of times before, but for some reason, this time she prefered to go the wrong ways in some confusing maze like behavior and then blamed other people saying they were coming the wrong way so she had to do it. Anyway...
Park was full, we had to get out of there. As we were reaching a turn to go to the left, we had 2 lanes.
Lane on the left was reserved to turning left only, and the one on the right was to go straight forward or turn right. She was supposed to go left, like always, but nope... She stays in the forward/right lane. I tell her that she should had changed lanes and again she yelled at me saying I could had said it sooner and she would had take the turn. Apparently she wanted to take the turn right on top of it through the lines and everything. I just tell her to keep going forward and then take a turn later on...
At this point I'm lost because I have no idea where we are, so what does she do?
She yells at me asking where the fuck are we supposed to go no, asking for directions to me while also driving around and missing every turn that we could had done to the right path, keeps going forward and we end up in the other part of town.
We turn back, she takes another turn to the right and we are finally back on track, except we had to go park the car in another spot before the first parking place. All while she yells about the gas and that it wouldn't happen if she went the way she wanted and how I fucked up everything.
Then she asks me where the cultural center is. I had no idea whatsoever about what the hell she was talking about so I just told her to park in a place near the first park. She ignores it, takes us to the congress center (which apparently is the cultural center?) into a parking spot full of cars. She gets to the end of it which leads to a dead end and she has to reverse back.
She does this while always yelling at me saying its my fault. Lovely really... I give her directions, and what does she do? She does the exact opposite and even yells at me. Its as if I needed to point precisely where to go with my finger in front of her face for her.
Kinda late but shit guys you can at least chose octane, they removed the 95 from here and now we only have 98 as regular gas (or at least, I think so, haven't seen 95 in a long while), and of course E85 and Diesel.
Did they do the whole E10 thing on 95?
If they did in that case you shouldn't even use it
The what now?
[editline]9th July 2012[/editline]
Also, KillerTele can correct me if I'm wrong, he buys gas way more often than me :v:
You can buy 95 and whatnot over here. I've never heard of them puting ethanol in the petrol.
They also sell 98 (Super V) at Shell where I live, 95 is the standard everywhere.
When I was helping my mom buy her SUV, we went to the dealership and the guy was trying to sell us an E85 Yukon Denali. I was like "We'll buy it if you can tell me where an E85 station is." He had no idea.
Idk why but there are just no E85 stations in the DC Metro area.
I wish we had higher than 93 though, that would be awesome. I also love how all of my cars only take premium. Whenever people are like "Gas prices are $3.50 today" I'm like ok so they're $4.00 got it.
Ye ok then it's probably as KT says, 95 is standard and 98 is rare.
I need to pay more attention when I pass gas stations :v:

95(E10) has 10% of ethanol, used to have 5% before, 98E5 still has only 5%
the 5% more makes a surprisingly big difference
[editline]9th July 2012[/editline]
Shells over here usually have 95, V-power(99+) and diesel, normal gas stations have 95, 98 and diesel
[editline]9th July 2012[/editline]
oh yeah and shell also sells E85
july 23rd is when I'm scheduled to get my car into the shop.
cool, cool
