I see what you're staying, but I still respectfully disagree. It can be done, it is often done, etc.. I still WANT an intercooler there rather than a methanol injection system.

I was thinking along these lines. E85 resists combustion so you can up timing/boost without worry of detonation. Not necessarily cooling although I would swear my STi runs cooler on the highway on E85 then it does on 93.

It's under a front seat, so it's kind of hard to take a picture of it.

RKRs look so good on this car. Especially in that larger size. It's kind of a future-retro thing that some won't get, but to me it brings classic style that just fits perfectly with the design.
