Watch out for the "Less Than 10% Ethanol" sticker @ the pumps.

For now the Shell doesn't have the cornfuel laced petrol yet. I went about 300 miles on 3/4 of a tank of the Non-ethanol petrol. Just as I suspected that I was experienceing lower MPG's because of the cornfuel laced petrol.

Thats not true. SHELL does have 10% Ethanol in their gasoline. Atleast here in Fort myers they do. Southwest FL. Thats ok, I'ma stop using SHELL's gas from now on and try using Chevron's gas. I got a FULL tank a couple hours ago from Chevron for the first time since i've owned my Si so i'm good to go. They don't post the Ethanol in their gas products. But they are HELLA expensive!. First time ever that I had to pay over 4 dollars, 4.15 per gallon....

[Supermpr1]

damn erika that sucks.....take some tylenol


i however feel stupendous finally! and jammin to jack johnson......o yeah

[jsnymeyer]

^^^ Glad to hear you're feeling all better, Mario! But yeah, headaches suck, Erika I swear I had them for like every other day for almost a month a few months back. If you don't have luck with Tylenol, then I suggest trying ibuprofen/Advil -- I've always good luck with it.

I'm out to see Iron Man finally!

The HFP is made of the same plastic as the bumpercovers. FG is fine but it is brittle because it's so rigid.

Hope your headache goes away Erika & glad to hear you're feeling better Mario.

Matt,

Have you noticed if they charged your credit card or check card? I doubt they have either. If I was you call them tomorrow and sorry to say it man but im sure they will tell you they dont have an ETA on it.

[SI_kidd18]

yah i meant sport suspension. i'm looking for some coilovers but don't know wether to go with the tein basic or just go Mugen. the only thing i don't like about the basics from Tein is that you can control your damping.

Angel.....ok man sounds good

[squidmaster]

YouTube - 2008 One Lap of America

such a beautiful car to just go to waste like that. one of the members of cfbmw that lives in the Avalon Park area in the "One Lap of America" annual challenge.

you take a car, 2 drivers, NO mechanics, all the spare parts you can ever want/need.... & you drive to a certain track, practice, then post the best time you can...then drive to the next track & repeat.

unfortunately for Jonathan... it all went wrong @ Road Atlanta.

Gah. WTF... there is something seriously wrong with my baby. I just filled up my tank and I calculated my MPG again...

19.

What the heck is going on? I absolutely babied it these last two weeks -- shifted at 3000 except for maybe a half dozen times, and even then I only took it up to maybe 4000. Tires are at their recommended 32 psi, oil is topped off, have been using Shell gasoline since I moved down here (which contains NO Ethanol) -- same pump, same location --, never run AC anymore, only have windows down when it's hotter than I can bare with them up, and I don't go faster than 5 mph over the speed limit...

I'm bummed.

[squidmaster]

I drive my EK
I get 28+
I love it
I need to do the 100k check up though and hopefulyl get back to 32+

[squidmaster]

jared u do know that after 40-45mph its actually more efficient to run ac than to have windows down because of the drag created right? that could be ur dilemma.

a lil physics for you lol!
