Just for the record, I drove like a complete shithead on day 2, so I don't know how much of those results are indicative of anything. I drove okay on day 1 but still left some time on the table on the tighter power course.

While I don't care either way what happens to E85, it does bother me that 100oct is not included in this ban. Maybe it's a midwest/east coast thing, but there isn't shit out here for 100oct. I don't even know where I'd look aside from buying some online and having it shipped to my house.

Granted, there is a 100oct pump 5 miles from Lincoln Air Park, but there is also a minimum-85% E85 pump that is about 7.

I certainly agree with you. My thoughts on banning only E85 is that, quite simply, it's easier to detect.

I agree too, and the smell from a car running on E85 is very noticeable.

It is not so much about improved performance as it is about protecting your investment. Oh well I think am preaching to the choir around here on this topic.

Could write a letter too

I just did in support of an oil cooler. Encourage other people (even outside of this forum) to also write a letter. This is of benefit to anyone interested in their cars being dual purpose vehicles...

Any word on the provision to change steering wheels that still use the factory airbag?

I had the Factory Wheel redone From JPM Motorworks.. Looks and feels amazing BTW. don't know if you can physically change wheels to say the Cusco or Toms Unit

So the TRD wheel is a no go?

Interesting to see how last season played out. But I don't see a reason to move it out considering how well the RX8 platform did.

Anyone have any news on the oil cooler allowance? I heard they were reviewing it.

[xwd]

It was denied in the last Fastrack or maybe the one before it. If they are re-reviewing it that would be good news. I wrote the original letter asking for it, and plan on writing another one shortly.

[2superblus]

I think it was punted to the SEB

[xwd]

The original proposal I made was denied in the October Fastrack by the STAC, if someone made another one they are reviewing then great. When I polled people on RRAX about it, nobody really could think of a good reason to not allow them and quite a few thought it would be a good allowance.

Ive considered putting one on my car in Street and should someone complain about it, I'd punch them in the kidney for being a whining bitch as there is 0 benefit other than longevity of the motor
