Philadelphia's Classiest Drunkards
Chau just informed me he thinks the E-85 in Norristown is bad. He filled the car and bougth 20 gallons, and didn't noticed until he was driving home. I contacted Pete to run a test sample before i head there to ***** about it. You guys be careful.
I registered for DC Autox this Sunday. If you guys are thinking about doing an autox, this place always has the awesome courses.
Just to clarify, next weekend NNJR has a Autox on Sat. at Englishtown, but not on the road course it is on one of their parking lots. Not sure if I am going to that one now, the road course is much more fun from what I remember.

that is the same stuff that we have in exton. they're the same company.
i notice that after really long drives it starts to smell a bit more like pump gas...not a lot but less corn smelling.
This is why I just goto Allentown Service Area for E85, they are more regulated than a mom and pop place, not worth the risk for me. for you guys daily driving on E85 it presents a major problem. Its shame there is no cheap way to have car read the ethanol content of fuel and adjust tune accordingly. Kind of like a fail safe set up. The other thing I guess you guys using ECU flash is maybe have a "limp" flash for ecu when ethanol content affects how car is running.
Chu, I may have extra oil bins that mcd no longer uses. Youd just have to clean them up as they are disgusting and caked in old cooking oil. I HATE dealing with mcdonald management! They have no control over their employees.
Well, I just ordered my clutch and stuff and am waiting on receiving them. In the meantime, what is a good place to have them installed. I have already contacted JNZ tuning and evo8dad and am waiting for a response from both of them. I am willing to drive a reasonable distance (upto 2 hrs worth) to get the following installed.
1) Exedy twin HD clutch with new OEM throwout bearing
2) SSP master clutch cyl and plunger
3) center diff pins.
4) SS brake lines and brake fluid change to rbf 600.
I will be supplying all parts, need somebody to actually do the job.
Thanks in advance.

Thank you for the inputs about the clutch job guys, appreciate the input.
I have been in contact with chris at GV AutoSports in Horsham, PA. He says he can put me in for Saturday the 8th. His prices seem reasonable as well. Hope to have everything in order that weekend.
In the meantime, if anyone feels I should reconsider this choice, please PM me, I check several times a day. Just looking for feedback is all.

Because as I was driving home I smelled gasoline. When I got home, I went to the back of the car to smell the exhaust and it doesn't smell anything like e85 combustion. I also opened one of the containers and smelled it, doesn't smell like e85 either. Maybe I did get use to the smell, not sure but only a test will prove whether I'm right or wrong. I know for sure I used the right nozzle because the receipt says E85.
