I think those have already been mentioned Ad nauseam!!

The funny part is that I am just playing Devil's Advocate. There are always so many people that blindly believe anything that someone says...I just want to help everyone understand both sides of the story.

I am actually pushing Renner to put a pump in Fortuna...which should be possible considering how strong the race scene is in town. Once the employees of the State of CA off of their asses and approve Renner's permits we can all benefit from the "pros" of E85.

No need to patronize me. I have a need (more like a want) and E85 fills it. There's nothing complex about it. I put in the money for new injectors and a tune, sell my old injectors to mitigate cost. The outcome is that I have a race fuel that costs a third of what high octane fuel goes for. I've also heard that E85 burns hotter and leaves behind some gorgeous engines.

It actually burns cooler due to the decrease in energy released. The engine cleaning is due to the release water during combustion.

I know there are several tuners pushing E85 right now. Some of them tell their customers the whole story with E85, and some do not. Educate yourself, or remain ignorant to the whole story...it does not matter to me. But don't come in here making sensationalist statements like "its like race gas without the race gas cost" because I am going to set the record straight

BTW, you should see what E85 does to the oil in a pressurized oil system. It is pretty crazy.

Well after 10 years of a Perfect Record I finally got in an accident, It was a teenage girl that ran a red light! SOB! She wasnt paying attention and Hit me in the Right Rear Wheel and my daughter was in the rear seat where it was hit, thankfully she wasnt hurt and neither was I. The girl that hit me seemed to be ok also, but her cars front end was messed up. Here are some shots of it in the garage until I can get it fixed.

E85 is the way of the future and out performs traditional gasoline in every way shape and form.

You're supposed to be setting the record straight, not discussing my personal information.

Thanks. Yea really, hopefully I can get the wheels/tires Ive been wanting now but I just hope that My rear suspension is still intact! Its a SUPER RARE Piece of equipment made for the STi in japan that so far none that Ive found in the US have. But I cant take it all apart to assess the damage till allstate sends the person out to do the assessment. So far whats intact is rear stock brakes and powerslot rotors, but the axle, wheel, tire, and lateral links are toast maybe a new rear bumper too.

im going to run a few logs in about an hour to check for mafv spikes. can you send me this spreadsheet? I want to log rpm too and see where im at.
