In my old BMW I would hit every "dragstrip" in my area haha, but in the FR-S, I just take every 90 degree turn going way faster than I would in any other car

One off piece by JPM. They're undecided if they want to start making these.





It's still 2 pieces and fits perfectly. I was a little apprehensive about it, then I put it in. I'm digging it.

It's not just a power increase... the E85 keeps their engine a bit cooler too.

I did my dyno tune on E85, and wanted to do a 93 tune too, but it was just too time-consuming to run my tank dry, then schedule another dyno session that same day.. esp. since there were people waiting to use the dyno after me.

Cool, thanks for sharing. Can you link us to more info about improved oil temp due to E85? We had not heard of this before.

He was not specifically talking about the oil. He was saying the cooler temps in the engine helps because we do not have an oil cooler to cool the oil.

Right, it's just a general fact that E85 burns slightly cooler than gasoline, so it bears to reason that your combustion chamber temps will be a tad bit cooler running on E85.

I know this is very last minute, but me & @ahernandez are meeting up at Discover Mills (entrance #6) for a quick meet n' drive @4:30. Anyone else is welcome to come too if you have time. I'm on my way back to town right now so will probably head straight over there. Hope to see yall there!

Cool. Link us to the data. We did a search but could not find any hard numbers.

Awesome time with @reeves tonight. We drove a lot haha. Got some pictures that will be posted later.

Thanks for the pics and getting the sound clip for me Ahernandez! That was a great race-- I mean, drive up the back roads!

I definitely felt the added mid-range pull on my car after I drove your car. I tried to drive yours the same way I did mine's, shifting around 4.5-5K so I could shifting into the "dip" rpms.. It was a good back-to-back comparison for me. The berk exhaust is definitely too loud for me, but it does sound nice at WOT.
