I'm worried about it being inaccurate, but we'll see. And no, I'm not ready for any of that stuff yet. I doubt there are any race shops around here.

I did a little experiment just now. I pulled the fuse for EPS (electric power steering) and drove around for a few miles.

Results?

NOPE.

Just removed my windshield cowl. This is going to make life interesting, because I don't have a garage. Cats. Squirrels. Leaves. Homeless people. Who knows what else...









And as if you couldn't see the inside from the outside enough already, this just revealed this other giant hole left over from the HVAC system:


And for anyone curious about what their windshield wiper guts look like, here you go, pervert:

Well... I mean at least you didn't procrastinate. Right?

do you have a 1/4 mile track near you? They always have scales.

Good point. And I sort of do. It's only like 30 minutes away, but it's also 30 minutes away from the 93 E0 gas station. I really want to weigh it with a totally topped off tank. Likewise, I don't want corn juice anywhere near my cars.

Oh trust me, you want corn juice in that car. The problem is, you want a ~70% mix of corn juice for race car smells and power. The e10 stuff you find at the pumps won't cut it.

Dude, corn juice makes more power...

This is great but I can't help but think, a K20 swapped MR2 would cost less than what you've done, and be much faster and lighter, while keeping air conditioning, interior, and 2 seats. Oh and, it'll have 2 airbags lol.

I want E85 and a flex fuel kit. We don't have E85 anywhere near where I live though. E85 and a tune makes power. E10 makes crickets.
