Got a bad batch of 98 somewhere and the pump imploded and tore itself to bits inside the tank.So that was replaced. Then sometime later the car was running rough and misfiring. Turned out to be plugs. New set of Platinum plugs in and she goes good. While getting the car in for plugs they detuned the car. My father booked in for me while at work and expressed his desire for the car to have no problems and be able to run to the country and back with no probs. Why dad why!! So the 98 tune was changed and I run 360rwkw @ 12psi (thanks dad) Car runs well and would do a million km's on that tune...but boring So E85 full time it is.I have run e85 on and off for last 2yrs but now living right near a servo that sells it it makes sense to run it.plus a nudge from ralph wiggum So 480rwkw it is.car still goes hard.still stock engine! Next is to finally do what I originally planned all that time ago. Run a 10.

Sway bar jammed on front of trailer and after being recovered 4wd towed it another 300kms back to perth sitting like that(escorted ) on the advice of police and towies
