Draker Posted October 26, 2012 Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 What size is that wind fairing? I bought one from a member on here and it's smaller than yours. I need to cut the cars a bit too cause they will take off your head. Quote Link to comment
Boaty Posted October 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 >member on here >smaller than yours OH seems legit. haha. It's 48" crossbars with a 44" fairing on standard gutter towers. ;) Quote Link to comment
Draker Posted October 27, 2012 Report Share Posted October 27, 2012 lulz.. I like the look of 44 better I think. But I'll roll with it until I can find a 44". 1 Quote Link to comment
Boaty Posted October 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2012 I winged it. I figured the 48" bars fit perfect, so minus 2" on each side should suffice. And it did. :D Quote Link to comment
Draker Posted October 27, 2012 Report Share Posted October 27, 2012 Yeah, it looks perfect. Im going to do a bit of work on it today and lop off those massive bars. Quote Link to comment
Boaty Posted October 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 Cut them down to 48". Get new end caps. Quote Link to comment
Laecaon Posted October 28, 2012 Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 Boaty, I wish your bars had an extra 1.5-2" on the sides. I have never really liked bars that end so close to the feet, but yes Drakers are way too wide. Quote Link to comment
JakeWard Posted October 28, 2012 Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 I kinda like them narrower, obviously not my choice to make, but it seems like you would avoid being jabbed by them. Quote Link to comment
Boaty Posted October 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 If I had 58" crossbars, I see multiple concussions just waiting to happen. Quote Link to comment

Boaty Posted November 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2012 Some new goodies for Emma. I had to have at least one splurge item, and didn't feel like getting suspension bits now. I'll wait for that this spring/summer when I can enjoy them. The stereo I can enjoy 365. More to come. Too lazy to take a pic of everything.. I'll wait for installation day. 1 Quote Link to comment

Boaty Posted April 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2013 Le bump! This poor thread needs some love... Quote Link to comment
68Datsun510 Posted April 30, 2013 Report Share Posted April 30, 2013 Yeah, by this guy ^^^^^^^^^^ Quote Link to comment
Boaty Posted April 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2013 Well I took Emma for a spirited drive under the guise of a delicious Dutch Brother's run... which I DID acquire, but then I decided a quick 6 mile freeway jaunt and back was in order. So I made it so.Burrrrns that oil at high RPM, but she definitely loves her clear gas (non-ethanol, ours spec'd out at like 93.5 octane and is branded 92... unfortunately, $4.899 a gallon.....). She runs so much peppier on the right gas. It was never this noticable of a difference with the L20B.She doesn't sound like a subaru unless I'm wide-open at lower RPM. Unless I run regular, and then she sounds like a subaru all the time and bogs when its hot out.Stephen is happy. Quote Link to comment

Boaty Posted May 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 Randy, next time you're up here - you should try some of our non-ethanol that you cannot get in California, just to see if she runs any different. It'll tell you for sure if you're losing anything with ethanol (e-10) like you guys have down yonder. My car loves it, but it's expensive @ 4.899 a gallon. :( Quote Link to comment
Ranman72 Posted May 5, 2013 Report Share Posted May 5, 2013 yea we get the special California blend thanks EPA is your normal premium fuel the fuel you are talking about or is there something even better Quote Link to comment
Boaty Posted May 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2013 Normal pump gas is 87/89/92 octane, (regular, plus, premium, respectively).At my station, we also sell clear gas (non-ethanol premium.. no additives, no ethanol). Ours spec'd out two months ago at 93.5 octane, but is branded 92 octane (as premium fuel) to be legitimate.Of course we ALSO sell race fuel (110 octane) in 5-gallon cans. We also sell the race fuel jugs to compliment, since pouring a 5 gallon metal can of fuel into a Datsun ... er.. I mean a race-only vehicle... is difficult. ;) Quote Link to comment
