Very nice man. I don't have that ability on my car yet but I really want to see what it's capable of using E85.

You should be able to run it on the X, but that stock turbo will run out of air quick, just as my car is doing currently..

Technically I should be able to run it by upgrading the fuel pump and injectors, then tuning for it. Only problem is I only know of one place to get E85 and I commute into NJ so I will need the ability to switch maps which currently is non-existant on the X. Not unless you purchase the EcuTek software for like 5k, which isn't happening.

Cool, I don't know if I'll make it to that one though since I'll be going to the Raceway free track event. My wife would go nuts.

Just an FYI for you Allentown guys - Maple Grove raceway has open racing this Saturday, the 11th, from 10am to 4pm. Just thought you might be interested in coming down to Reading to race. I will be there.

Here are directions...

I just want to confirm you're saying this is an open track event and not a driving school. Also how much $$$ is it?

Yes, an open track event. It is $25 for as many runs as you can get in. I would say it is good for 3-5 runs, but it all depends on how many people are there.

Might have been me, I was around that area on Saturday.

unless you're buying lightbulbs or wiperblades don't touch the qmart or that pepboys with a ten foot poll.

if you need any EVO stuff done let me know, there are lots of skilled EVO mechanics in the area.

oh yeah, not to bust your bubble but you aren't the only BBY in the area .

i've seen/met a couple BBY & EB owners around here... one of them is in telford and the other is a girl in my town but I don't know her name, just seen her driving around a couple times.

PM evo8dad - adam if you wanna get something done, he does good work. I'd offer to help you out myself but I just had a kid and my free time is at a premium right now. I hardly have time to work on my own cars anymore let alone someone elses, lol.

I'm from up north further, Scranton/Wilkes area. I know of at least 6 Evo's up here and my buddy has an original Evo 5 down around the Hazleton area.
