RE: Fuel choices

We have a local place that sells it at the pumps - 100 octane and I believe it's VP. They also sell VP by the 5 gallon jug and I need to compare pricing between a jug and the pump.

I'll be messing with my SR8 today (chasing an oil leak and clutch disengagement issue). I'll snap some pix of the setup on my car and post them up here this evening.

RE: sr8 oil pressure at idle

I’ve noticed that the low pressure light comes on, regardless of temperature, when the engine drops to idle, which is around 900-950 rpm. As soon as it comes off idle the light goes out. I can’t recal...

RE: SR8 foot room -- so that's why

I'll concur with that being an addition. My pedal box sits right on the floor, not on any sort of platform. Previous owner must have had tiny feet!

RE: Base line setup that came on my SR8 - odd to say the least.
