Currently approaching 50K miles of daily driving, and autocross abuse.
Driven every day, through all conditions. Currently on 205/50/17 snows.


Within The first 500 miles it was flashed with the OFT E85 map ,and then later the OFH was added. First winter switched back to 93 map, but last and this one, stayed on E85 with tweaked maps, thanks to the great community.
It even started this morning when it was 5f out on the first crank.


Just wanted to provide an update to those on the fence regarding long term reliability. This car is driven VERY hard. "Shift light" is seen god knows how many time a day. Firm believer in never lugging, especially something with this type of chain drive. Always at 3krpm or more, will downshift into 5th onto highway below 70. Fresh 0W20 and a filter every 3k, and that's about it.

Starts up every morning, takes a beating and is more fun than it should be for what it costs.

Happy miles and happy holidays everyone.
Good to hear!

I only had OFT with E85 and a gruppe s header in a few days and man is it fun. The car drives so much nicer now. So smooth. Yeah, it is a little loud and obnoxious when you pull hard but sounds like a race car and has some juice to back up the noise now. I'm glad I did it. It is a good boost and very cost effective to boot. My only issue is I have to refuel on 93 a little next time because I have to bring the car in for fuel pump swap under warranty. So I'll have to flash back etc. Kind a bummed about it but I'll only put a few gallons of 93 in and go straight back to e85.

I heard reviews of being able to smell the corn. I do not smell it all. I'm pretty funny when it comes to smells too. Don't even notice no cat.
