Jeff, I was thinking about running E85. You'll need larger injectors for it, but its worth it. I'll talk to Pete about it after installing my IX turbo and mbc. Pete's numbers at CBRD over the weekend suprised alot of ppl I think...including Caleb.

As for the autox, I think I will be running with one of the Shell station boys' car. My clutch won't allow that type of drving at this point.
you got it dude! hahah you can have a run in my car or will's hahaha but i think you'll have more fun in will's car!!!!

That's hilarious cause it's true! Oh well, I'm not running a cat so I'm already killing the planet.

Im not worried about the planet. I just want to go faster and for people to think I worry about the planet.

it wasn't like you were aggressively soliciting your services. i guess people will have to watch what they post about the "fatherly figure of the 8th generation evo" too.
Alot of message boards are doing this now. 1addicts merged with bimmerpost and turned to complete **** afterwards. You can't even talk about certain products unless that manufacturer is paying a vendor fee.

They charge $400 a month for vendors fees and one vendor (cp-e) had an issue with that since most of their products were still in development and weren't ready for market. Cp-e offered to pay $200 a month for the first six months and then $400 a month after that and bimmerpost said no, deleted all posts made by cp-e, deleted any threads referring to their products and banned members who supported cp-e (including cp-e themselves).

Thats rediculous. I would terminate my membership here if it turns to that. This isn't the only evo forum around, and the mods need to realize that us members are the ones that keep it going. Yes, they make money from the vendors to run this forum, but the members are the ones the drive everything. What's next, for sale section closed because it's considered competition to the vendors?

unfortunately they can do whatever they want. what the real bs part is is that certain members here (who i wont name) have never come out and advertised. its just guys like us who post results from said tuner... even better there are other tuners who results are being posted by vendors, and apparently thats ok.

regardless, they consider it advertising, and now that IB owns evom, they charge IB prices. you can be sure vendors that have been here since before the sale arent paying nearly what IB is asking per month.

meanwhile the mods are just doing as they are told, albeit too zealously.

Hey all, I have the official E.M.R.A. discount cards for those NEW people to EMRA who would like to try the Time Trials. These are worth a $100. discount off the entry fee for new people who attend their first event. The average cost to T.T. is around $195./$200. so this is a real good way to try the T.T. Send me a PM with you name /address and I will send you a coupon in the snail mail. EMRA's next event is Pocono South course on Sat May 2nd. Pete
