You got e85 where you are at?

Pushed 30psi for a year before i sold mine and was making 450whp with a red. I was actually running out of fuel even with the 1200cc injectors and walbro 255h. Car really needed a double pumper.

Mods are in my sig never once broke.

the best gas we can reall get is Huskey 94 (with 10% ethanol).... kind of stuck with that but we seem to make do.. I just recently changed my tune to 93oct stage 2 (generic) and took the restrictor pill out last night as well as suggested by cobb. too bad the roads are pretty icey and can't really test it out to the max - should be above freezing this week at least.
BUT looks like I will be picking up an FP green and some injectors to start hoarding parts over the winter. I guess leaving it stock as I planned is down the tubes... I just can't stop it So far my plan is to swap that in, injectors and tune -- possibly looking at aquamist on top?? not sure if that would be over kill, but I really don't want to touch internals -- coming from an STi though, you can imagine my hesitation as their engines can barely handle stage 2, let alone a turbo without upgrades... I guess my faith in my little 4B11 is pretty good to give up my warranty pretty much with 5500kms on it (or i am just mental)...
Lucky for me, the guys at Rocket Rally owe me a favour so I will likely go to them for the tune once I know what all I will be doing. (I am slightly leary about lightspeed..... nothing personal, I just have seen and heard some iffy things from there)
as for the roads here -- the Evo has had zero issues

The last time I drove through there was in 2007 going from Alaska to Maryland and a guy saw the EVO on the uhaul trailer and keep honking his horn and yelling for us to stop. So I looked over at my wife and said what the hell. We pulled over and he was telling me how he wants an Evo and he cant wait until Canada gets the EVO and all kinds of stuff. We stayed there an hour or so and talked EVOs. Pretty cool guy.

Great city you have there we stayed three or four days at just one mall. Huge mall the largest in North America and thats including mall of America in Minnesota.

haha I can fend for myself, I work in the industry and am fully used to how it is being the 'girl' in the community who isn't the hoodrat category.. all good...

rebud -- the mall here is huge - but gets super old super fast when you live here... too busy and too many shops, too touristy


I'll try to get some pics up real soon - it isn't the best time of year for pretty pictures here
