So a month ago i got Martin2010's meth drinking sti 6 and loving it.
Drives great....

i've noticed a few things though.

filling it up... WTF is all that about... click click click click continuously from the pump (tried different garages and turning slightly) its driving me insane. takes about 10 mins to get 20 litres in! lol.

secondly... when cornering HARD and i put my toe down to exit the bends i get what feels like fuel cut. it's fine on the straights and when not booting it?

i really need to get these 2 things sorted as 1 is driving me nuts and the other will make me look stupid at nurburg and silverstone.

any advice appreciated.

well number one is fuel starvation = very bad.
number two is your probably sticking it in too far and tilting it.

Fuel surge for the second one

My classic sometimes is a pain to add fuel and keeps clicking off for the first £1 ish, I thought it was the pump more than car tho, only ever really fill up at the same place, I drive mine like miss daisy most of the time

This is my old STi Version 6 and it used to do the same thing at the petrol pump, Used to get on my nerves when it used to click when you put the nozzle fully in, I had to basically hold the nozzle above the hole and squirt it in(pain in the **** I know)

Its common for classics to get starved of fuel when low, general rule of thumb is to keep it above quarter full.
