E85 would be my pick over c16. Only downside I see is piss poor economy due to lower sg of E85.

As for the money oh well I work hard and don't have any other bad habits lol. I can install the springs with my mates help (mechanic) but yeah I was dissapointed I thought the fg springs were supposed to be tough as nails. 2 months will be a hard wait lol. I'm keen for a BBQ/cruise/whatever, just need plenty of notice due to work.

how much was it for your tune at (tunehouse) ? was it a preset tune or they worked the tune with your car ? and how long was the wait to get it done ... only because im thinking of changing tuners going North insted of south due to the shatty 2 hour odd drive down

It was a complete custom tune, Jim doesn't do generics. I was there from 7.30am till 9.40 at night but this was only cause they had so much going on and I insisted I wasn't in a rush. In fact Jim didn't realize I was from newy until later in the day. The price included fitting the cat and injectors. I'll PM the price to you just don't know if Jim would want me to bandy it around.

fierce - have you thought about the tunehouse or an SMB exhaust, it flows big numbers and would be similar pricing to the nizpro one.

Rhino - could you PM me that price too.

As for c16 vs e85 it depends what you want but E85 has a lot of benefits - It'll be easier to get within 12 months, is way cheaper than race fuel and you can run it with your cat still in place which is good for street cars.

dan we are running c16 for the drags, but at over $10 a litre its expensive. and e85 for elf race E85 %$2.30 a litre. and talking to justing we can get my car stalling up more boost off the line and more boost in top end.

justin tunes a little 1.3 lite turbo starlet run's 11.3 on e85 and on c16 best of 11.6

wow, sounds good. yeh im old school lol... I just read up on this E85 sounds really good, 105 RON , and starting to flow around servo's in Melbourne. hopfully up in NSW soon to come. for sure I would trade them numbers for E85 over c16 anyday.

As for the exhaust I only opted for the Nizpro for a full system they have them Advertised for 1850.00 + freight. so if tune house can come up with same kind of numbers I would be inclined to sway .. though I would like a write up on the systems befor I would go ahead with it . im reaqlly fussy when it comes to sound. I love the low down Burble Nil drone Mid range, and a nice crack up top .
