Whats the advantage of running e85 compared to like 91 or whatev? And can you still run race fuel once converted?

I will take some pics, they were $60 from ebay. There are some fitment issues that I still need to resolve but in the pics you wouldn't know. 1 of the 4 mounting screws is not aligned do to a design flaw. :/ Also I am still wondering if I can just get the stock switch and wiring harness to use the factory pre-wiring.

Drove all the way from LAS to PHX and it rains. Now this morning I get a small hail storm. SOB. Friking weather. I feel so bad for my car. It is always garaged, except for the next month as we wait for the house to get ready so we can move in.

Well if this is turning into a why we hate Mark Mitsu conversation here is my story:
I bought my car in Sep. 2007 at the Scottsdale location and never got a title or registration when my temp plates and reg expired. So I went to the MVD and they told me the car was still owned by the original owner. WTF?!? I go to Mark to ask them about this (pissed), they're response was pretty much this: "uhhh we're sorry we never paid off the 1st owners loan, we will take care of that asap." (They sold me a car they technically didn't own)

Not cool!

Mike at Mynes is a VERY smart guy. The only down side is that he locks his tunes and claims to "own" the tune. You actually rent-a-tune from Mynes.


Any testimonials on Wingz by any of you Phoenix boyz? Or girlz?

Has anyone had Phuong Nguyen at Wingz tune their EVO? I'm thinking about getting a touch-up on my E85 tune. Advisable?
