BMW diesel...join us...join us

 

I have my eyes/heart set up a forrester sti tbh but that will have to wait a while

E85 will still be available Dave

 

Will you buy it from a internet supplier then? heard it was double the cost

 

Morrisons still have it and have just put it into another couple of local stores around here.

 

Heard Morrisons are pulling the plug completely?

 

From where ? Doesn't seem to be the case around here.

 

Facelift (2001 on) 530d tourings are now below 4k even the low 3's

Quick, comfortable, economical, entertaining and tweekable

When they work

 

Think there is a thread on here somewhere and also on another forum im on. A driver for Morrisons confirmed that they will no longer be transporting it. Something to do with usage and it going off in tanks.

Again this may be another gash story but seems to be doing the rounds on the forums at present

 

They have stopped selling E85 at my local Morrisons in South Wales and they even removed entirely from the pump stand as well !!

It looks like it may be a supply/demand situation where the stations that sell the most E85 may get to keep it. ?

Ahem, yes, quite...don't buy an Auto Duncan

 

Or one with a zillion miles.

A few of my mates have them with over 140k on them, and are constantly breaking.

And you think Subaru's are expensive to fix...

 

Pat's had knocking on the door of 275k IIRC when he eventually decided to pull the engine, 150k or so after it started a random missfire Mine has 161k on it, the auto box being the biggest failure...hence the don't buy an auto comment Pat's is a manual, still on the same box. Parts are cheaper than the Scoob's too

 

On the back of a great dyno result yesterday with 598.3 bhp.

Had the 30-130 day at Marham today and my targets for the day were to hit 180mph on the top speed run and to improve on last year's 12.6 seconds for the 30-130.

Job done !!

Managed 180.72mph on the 1.5 mph runway. Very scarey with a cross wind at that speed with no rear spoiler.

As far as the 30-130 time goes I was 11.2 on the first run... but lots more to be had, then I upped the boost and got down to 10.7 for a few runs then discovered I still had a boot full of bits !! LOL So them removed and I dropped to 10.14.... then 10.08... argh !!!

So. would it do less than 10 ?

I was determined to make it so had a nother couple of runs on the bounce. First one lit all four wheels building left foot braking to build 1.5 bar in second before lifting the brakes and shooting off down the runway. Back to the holding area to start another run with hot tyres. The start felt awesome and I did not lift the throttle until I hit 140+ - this had to be the one.

I headed back to the MLR caravan and saw amazed that I had done 9.93 on the previous run

I waited for this time and it was 9.38 !!!

This gave me third fastest on the day out of 34 and I am WELL chuffed with that given the cars I was up against.

Full results: 30-130 Results

Awesome day and big thanks to the MLR for organising it and for the normal subaru team spirit. Well done all other scoobies and especially to Clive for winning. Well done.

 

Great stuff mate

 

Credit where credit is due... great results.

 

cheers Shaun and Dave.

 

nice one dunc, you got what you wanted
me too mate, just
good to see you today

good luck with TA this year

 

cracking results, nice to hit targets

 

Well done Duncan, good times there.

 

Cheers Peter. Well done.

 

agreed

 

I see you got your 160mph you were after

 

looking for 170 next year steve
nice to see you today
btw, do you remember me now

 

Yes I'll be looking for over 180mph next year

 

Getting your car back on the road and keeping it in one piece would be a start!

 

There is still plenty time for yours to fail

 

That's OK.... I have some spare change to get rid of, as the matress is getting a bit lumpy nowadays!

 

Welldone Duncan....nice result for a V
