  • LC Laurent3119 June 2026

    Hello all.
    I'm surprised about the voltage test done by Merv.
    In my opinion, if you measure the voltage between coolant and ground you actually measure the voltage between the electrode of your voltmeter and the ground. What you get is the galvanic cell voltage due to metal difference. It highly depends on the metal of the voltmeter touch points. Nothing to do with coolant as soon as it co...

    Steve, I totally agree. Jud

    Interesting BW. Mine is circa St1-2 CR and I find that less than 98 works best for me. 95 is also OK. I avoid ethanol mixes.

    Yep, wouldn't be surprised. Or even something more powerful.

    Markets are jittery already.

    Crikey is right.

  • William Revit19 June 2026

    Crikey--going to be an interesting time there, don't think Starmer has a solid enough footing to hold him off.
    Who do you think Burnham would have as deputy PM------

  • paulh419 June 2026

    As I mentioned self-amalgamating tape does a better job as it moulds itself to the capilary and the cut ends ... and you have the rest of the tape available for other jobs :o)

  • anamnesis19 June 2026

    I predicted the outcome weeks ago, as soon as Reform announced their dudd of a candidate.

    Yep, Burnham's popular there. He's an actor as much as anything. But he's also hardcore Socialist, and he appealed in simple terms to simple minds.

    Will there be a coronation or an election?

    And after, no matter how Burnham gets to be PM, will there be a GE soon? There should be, bu...

  • Bill B19 June 2026

    So Burnham wins easily. I think it's as much to do with his ability to engage with the public as anything else. People like him. If he'd stood for Reform I think he'd still have won.

  • anamnesis19 June 2026

    It's a double whammy.

    Not only has Trump turned out to be a damp squib who has proved beyond doubts he really should be called TACO, but now it appears REFORM are rapidly becoming a busted flush with little hope of winning the general election when it comes.

    Iran is laughing at Trump. They get loads-a-money for promising to do things they know they have no intention of doing, and...

  • B W Wood19 June 2026

    From the original TF tuning book.
    Standard 8.1 :1CR, min 78-80 octane.
    Stage 1 ,8.3:1 CR use 90 octane.
    Stage 2, 9.3:1 CR use 90 octane.
    Stage 3, 9.45:1 CR use 90 octane.
    For racing applications 90 octane can be used up to 10.7:1 CR.

    So I don't know what the lowest grade available in Aus but in NZ it's 91 so should cover all states of tune.
