Free hatch for me

Post by **stolle** » Sat Nov 14, 2009 9:35 pm

so i have been gone from here for awhile, cause, well i was busy with a pregnant wife and now im busy with my new daughter. well im back and i have an other car, i got a 91 hatch from the guy i work with for free i still have the 05 ep3, but it drove me crazy not having a car i actually could work on even though i may not have a lot of time to play with it, im still excited as hell...

its got a d16a6 and a 5 speed the cool thing is that i have been doing the work on this thing for the past 3 years its got all new struts, brakes, clutch, flywheel, just had a tune up and a few other things. its dirty as hell and the drivers side seat back is broke, but like i said it was free...

what's the benefit of E85, it cost about the same as regular gas, but you'll be using 40% more fuel? please explain...

Higher octane. You can run more compression/boost on pump gas.

Google it, alot of people can explain it better than me.
