Noticed my seat bolsters weren't pumping up when I pushed the button. Hit the net for seat diagrams and pulled the back of the seat off to get to the air pump. The spike for the air hose was snapped off, so I superglued the sucker back on, then surrounded it with some 2 part plasticene epoxy so it wouldn't come off again. Seat bolsters pumping up as they should for weeks now.

It wasn't today but last week. I replaced the Fuel-It Stage 2 LPFP and Throttle Body Injection with a Stage 3 LPFP and Port Injection Kit. I manually cleaned the intake ports again while I had the intake manifold off.

I put in 7L of E85 for a bit of fun, seems to feel good, not like any noticeable power increase, it just feels as good as it ever has.

Then not exactly to my car but rather for my car, I moved into a new flat that has a double garage, only one side had a motor and my side didn't, so I removed the old opener and installed two new ones, cleaned the doors, moved a lot of junk out, hosed down the walls and floors.

Basically just made a nice space for my car to sleep in

Id love to give E85 a go but really struggle to find any local to me. There are a couple of stations on the gold coast but nothing local enough for me to fill up at.

Did you need any fueling mods to support the e85?

Log it? Decrease in corrections?

Just go a mix and keep a few 10L jerry cans of it. E85 is about 40 minutes away from my place. I have 3x 10L jerry cans (can easily fit 11L in each). I fill them all up about once every 5-6 weeks and put in 1 jerry can (11L) to 29.5L BP Ultimate which makes around E24. Even that amount makes a HUGE difference to the amount of timing and/or boost you can run and you can safely go a bit leaner too. If I ever go on a long trip, I just fill up beforehand and bring a 10L jerry can of E85 with me. It really is so easy. Well worth it IMO. Mixes around 25% are perfect IMO because you still get really good fuel consumption.

Today I told my obd2 cable to work so I can flash a new map.
It did not work.
I have three cables on the way hopefully one works.
