Some of the fondest memories for me was constantly gunning it in my 170hp 3 series and having a blast wherever i went.
excuses.

Except that small scar on her shoulder stinks like rancid butt juice and makes you queezy even thinking about it

On an md, should be closer to 350 than 400. Again, I'm gonna get the tune first and hopefully I'll be happy with how it is. I can just feel the stock snail losing its life after 6k.

I know the engines love it more. I know it lets you build boost quicker and it also lets the engine run cooler and it adds a whole lot of power. But if it meant the difference between a 350whp and 400whp for a DD car like mine, the 50hp is simply not worth it to me. I wouldn't have had this problem if I did not have to deal with the whole Virginia thing, because I would've had my camry for backup.
Anyways, I will make the switch as long as its more easily accessible to me.

There is one right off (about 10 minutes) the AC expressway and I am sure there are more. plus you have the shell station here in center city just over the bridge. get a flo and go or two and you'd be fine.
Yeah, but I like to just the NJTP for a quicker ride home. Just the trip to center city would force me to deal with too much traffic.

how many miles from your place in NJ to VA? you could probably make it on less than a tank and either find stations (via internet) on the way or in VA to fill up for your way back.
Its about 215 miles, and lets not forget, on fridays, I do get stuck in bumper to bumper traffic. It'll be something bothering me all the time and I don't wanna be so damn worried about it for a DD. I did search the Internet and couldn't really find much in the way. What site do you guys use, maybe I've been looking in the wrong place? I'll be damned if its abundant enough for me and I get a pump gas tune at Petey's next week because I don't know where to look.

that's not true. get a cobb accessport and you're golden. that's what i have. i don't want to run pump gas unless i really really have to because it will take a few fill-ups on e85 to get a pure mix again.
Yeah, I'm more of an EvoScan/Tactrix guy. I invested quite a bit on that setup and I am in general inclined to support the community. But I agree, Cobb has had it for a while, guess I should've been more clear. Tephra is about to come out with it on the X too. Can't wait.

All I'm saying is I love E85, but it just isn't for me......yet!!!!

^ yeah me neither. But I think its more because I'm not confident about the reliability of that setup. I usually go for mods AFTER i educate myself almost completely about. And Meth takes it to a whole new level for me.

at the picture.

FP HTA Green, unless Petey can get you a good deal on a BBK.

That chick is hot, I don't see what the problem is?

That reads a bit harsh but it's all love.

Out of the group I would probably be the last person to run corn. You all just need a little push. Like I heard pete is only doing e85 tunes now

If you want to see how in to modding I was a year ago, go to YouTube and type "Chester county Evo cruise" and turn the sound up to hear me drive by.
