Freddie. I just searched and it's showing:
Gate 1136
9450 San Jose Blvd
Jacksonville , FL 32257
904-737-7220

Not sure if they're selling it yet, or if it's coming soon. This is just down San Jose from my joint in San Marco.... I might roll down there tomorrow and see what's up. E85 with my FP Black setup would be ****.

I understand it is listed however do a search on Gate Station #1136... That station is in White Springs. I also called the one on San Jose and they verified that they did not have E85...

Please double check though...

I called again today and they said they do not carry E85...

Well i have to replace my clutch. Anybody know more or less how much it's going to cost locally? I've never done one or seen one done, so i don't even know if i should attempt it myself.

Yup, you're right. No E85 at the San Jose location. Didn't get a chance to go inside to ask about it either. Oh well.

I met a guy from NAS with a white 8 last night. I didn't get his name but I have seen the car before and I know Freddie has. He worked for AWD before coming in and it's a 2.1 with S2's and a stock 8 turbo. Get that. He is going to save up for the black I guess after I commented on me sending my turbo off here next week. I also told him to get on this thread but we'll see.

Oh and Carrie you really need to pic this IC I have at the house before I leave so when I come back you can have some good numbers aside from the whole spring issue.

Boricua I would recommend any shop in Orlando area, just make an appointment and make sure you have everything and you should be out in 4-6 hours.

speaking of these dealers. i took mine to the new orange park dealer by Best Buy along with my wife's Lancer. as they were washing the cars as a courtesy, the guy from service gives us our work orders to go pay for. i noticed my oil change was really cheap and i wondered, "should i say something, or let it go". then i was thinking "what if these ****ers put regular oil instead of synthetic". so i brought it up to his attention and this is how it went....

Me: Excuse me, i don't mean to insult anyone's intelligence, but did you guys put regular oil in my car?
Him: Let me see your work order.... Yes we did. Why?
Me: Because synthetic was suppose to get used.
Him: Well we don't use synthetic unless the costumer requests it.
Me: Are you serious? Even if the car REQUIRES synthetic?
Him: Um, let me find our head technician and I'll get back to you.

about 10 minutes later he came apologizing and asked me if i can leave my car there because they had to get synthetic oil since they normally don't keep it in stock. then the guy admits to me that they've been open for about 1.5 months and had put regular oil in other Evo's. Hopefully no one from here. but if they did, i'd take it back and have them correct it and hopfully it's not too late for your engine
