Mmmmm e85 :)

Youre gonna love life!! Just make sure ya start it up and let it warm up atleast once weekly as the iacv loves to gum up lol

If i leave mine for a week i have to pull the iacv out and clean it to get it moving....only a 5min job, but quite annoying

The positives far outweigh the negatives though

Really keen to see this in october if i come up!
