Cheaper than UK. Next time I go to the pumps I'll let you know.
However the quality of fuel is sh*te out here.
The standard fuel in UK is 95 right? It's 91 here. 95 is considered "premium" here.

Some half decent double sided foam tape should sort you out TBH.
Safe to say my pillar mount fell off in this 19 degree heat today!
It's the middle of winter FFS! Feels like spring haha

Called it. 
Called it.
Yup. Mixture of heat/softened glue and RB POWAAAA.
Think I saw it was $2.16 for 91 fuel?
so about £1.08
Didn't say how much premium was on the sign
Tiny weeny ickle small little update.
Got my new electronic boost gauge all wired up (used wires from the head unit harness) and managed to screw in my pillar mount rather than it being held up by tape haha.
Will eventually get a properly made pillar mount but that's money I don't have at the moment.
Also going to get a water temp gauge the same style as my boost gauge, instead of having a random gauge there that doesn't work.
Old vs new:
It all matches xD
(admittedly the boost gauge looks alot brighter in this pic, but it isn't so noticeable)
Also going to a dyno day this saturday, will be cool to see what she's making.
She'll only be running on 95 fuel though (that's considered premium over here) as finding 98 here is almost impossible.

Had the dyno day today.
Bad times.
Apparently it needs a nistune, and a boost controller, as its meant to run 7psi from factory, but its just running off wastegate pressure which is 4.6psi apparently.
Oh and I was only running 95 fuel. Need to find a petrol station that does 98 near me :/

Although it is at the wheels. So pretty good for 4.6psi
Eurgh. Why do people measure power in KW. It's not a f**king toaster.
Lol bhp is right next to it.
Needs more POWAH, it is an RB after all.
Its its destiny. (looks weird but its how my brain is saying it lul)

Yup needs more boost and a better fuel management system
Nistune and a good map.
Change to 98 fuel and reinstall my boost controller.

I'm sure you will get her running good. 200 Bhp is still 29 more than me mate

If I remember it was like 141 at the wheels so maybe I'm getting a bit confused. Never mind

Oh right haha
Alsooooo, You going to be getting some new wheels?
Would make the car so much nicer with some Rota grid drifts on there

Found out my blow-off valve in HKS (score!)
And it's running an external wastegate.
Also got a leaky rocker cover so needs a new gasket.

Got my AVS S5 alarm system installed today. Got it for bargain price too!
It's running an external wastegate?! Seems excessive...
Got any pics?
Got any pics?
Sure does. I'll try and get some pics tomorrow mate.
I think the previous owner was running way more boost, but when my car had all the work done on it to get it running properly, they took out the boost controller (it was just a bleed valve type, I plan on getting an electronic boost controller somewhere down the line) so its not just running on wastegate pressure.
External wastegate
Reached my bandwidth limit on Photobucket for this month.
Must be popular
Anywayz got fed up of looking at this frayed/ripped bonnet heat shield so decided to rip it off and give it a clean.
Gave it a go over with a clean microfibre.
50/50 shot lulz. Because detailer y0.
Then attacked it with some meguiars quik detailer.
Then I've got this lot.
Hopefully when I replace the gaskets when I spray the rocker covers, it'll fix the oil leak, but if that's not the cause of the oil leak, I think it's gonna be an expensive fix :/ Could just be the exhaust manifold gasket, or could be worse, piston rings.

Ok, I'm pretty sure it wont be piston rings. Cos that would be an internal problem and wouldn't create a leak and make a puddle etc.
Really hope the rocker cover gasket fixes it.
