Are you putting the nozzle pre-intercooler ?
im unsure of where everyone else places their nozzle, but wouldnt that be a tad low on yours? you'l find meth and water lining the pipes more wont you?
A3s are backwards David....... a bit like yourself :thumbsup:
I like to change it up a bit
Might have picked up some more tyres recently too
Anyone guess what they are?
Yokohama wets?
And hopefully some dunlop trackies nest weekI like to change it up a bit

I didn't think anyone would be Sad enough to right click and check the image properties. haha.
BigAl: Seeing as you're the one who insists on buying all these tyres that currently fill every spare inch of my available living space, are you offering to pay for a garage in which to store them all?
Wish my old man contributed to my rubber
hmmmmmmmmmmm
Now looking at possibly trying to squeeze it in behind the passengers seat for weight distribution!
Can't decide if I want it as far forwards (in the back) and low down as poss, or out in the boot to add weight back in at the back to regain a more even front:rear balance.
Who is this OLD MAN you and Stacey keep on referring too.If my old man was contributing to my tyres he wouldn't have a clue. He'd be buying up Ling Langs and all that cack
17kgs is a lot when you work it out like that. You'd better hope that the benefits of wmi outweigh (no pun intended) the extra weight you'll be carrying about. Especially as your car is all about being light.

No, go on, surely you are kidding.This is something you have to think about with the 5 gallon tank as it will be a lot heavier when full then the 1 gallon tank most go for.
Oh no. How will I amuse myself on the way to the Ring. (no replies please)Considering there's another 50bhp on reserve from the turbo, and the same again in torque, and the fact that WMI should help hold it all together for longer, I think it'll be well worth it.
17kg of fluid is equivalent to under half a tank of fuel. Considering I tend to use two full tanks of fuel on a track day, I can't say I notice a huge change in the car from full tank to half tank. If we were at a serious level then perhaps, but 17kg if also the difference between having Dad as pax in one session, and Jardo / Andy P in the next session.
Basically, what I'm saying is, if it's going to help it be more reliable and more consistent power, I think 17kg is well worth the hit.
Will lose aircon and CD changer / sub to compensate
Oh no. How will I amuse myself on the way to the Ring. (no replies please)
Oh no. Cant I just sleep. (again)You'll have to talk to me you miserable git
I'm not worried. (I think). My body is 50/60/70, take your pick, but I'm 28. And that the truthI believe 'old' is merely a disrespectful term of acknowledgement for someone with your impressively high level of life experience Big Bad Dad. I wouldn't worry about it at all
Looks nice Bill
I'm really hoping these re-welded manifolds will stand the test, although if I'm honest I'm still not 100% convinced, but there's only one way to find out!
5 US gallons is 19 litres, water has an SG of 1, so assuming a 50/50 water/meth mix, that's 9.5 litres of water, so 9.5kg.
Methanol has an SG of 0.791 so 9.5 litres of methanol will weigh 7.5kg.
Total weight of a full tank will therefore be 17kg. I'll probably only usually half fill it, I just don't want to have to be forever topping it up at a trackday!
Dont set the name of the image file as the answer Prawny
I personally think you have made a mystake in sizing such a big tank.
far far better to carry a smaller one and refill as required between sessions..
