I also noticed the engine sound is a little different with this tune.

I switched from the OFT stage 1 93 octane tune to stage 1 91 octane tune for the winter.

Switched to the original stock tune this week to torture myself before the OFH install and stage 2 93 octane tune later this week.

Can`t wait to feel the difference.

P.S. So magical to see the car covered with snow again this morning. Just can`t get enough of winter.

A little bit of warm weather and this thread is alive again!

I just checked my OEM header in the garage and it still has the original bolts on it, so pretty sure that bolts were included in my OFH shipment last year.

I'll make sure they're included for future purchases.

If the guy had a CB antenna on the trunk that was probably me at the pump.

Was a bit embarrassed that I'd been sitting there calculating mileage and didn't see you pull up behind to use the pump. Sorry about that.

Out of curiosity, what is the price difference between e85 and 91 octane usually?

per litre: 91 is 20ish % more
per KM driven e85 is 10ish % more

these are based only on my personal experience, quite literally YMMV.

do any fuel or race supply shops ship e85?

I know these people do out of bc, don't know what prices are like though:

http://arcadestation.ca

Also have heard of people getting barrels of e98 and mixing their own.

That being said if you are in Ottawa it will be way cheaper to use the macewen pump, if you live far away get some Jerry cans, I've figured out my trunk can just hold 4/5 20L cans if arranged just right.

EDIT:
I notice you are listed as being from Cornwall. I would suggest procuring a fuel drum or two and driving in to Ottawa to fill them up. Each 55 Gallon drum is a bit more than 4 full tanks of fuel so if you do it that way the trip should be worth it. The biggest caveat here is that you need to use another vehicle for the trip because there is no way you are getting a 55Gal drum into a FRS.
