delivery is usually 48hours, isn't there someone local useing it that can let you have a few litres, I'm in Northampton so not much good.

Lincsbiofuels selling on e-bay @£19/25litres, they might be close enough

ey up bez long time no see
just found a bloke in retford who may be able to help.
called em today they said should be here tomorrow but with car going to steve simpson on saturday morning i dont want to get caught short.

The 2.5sti i had got sold started using more oil than petrol,it was runnning just over 400bhp so think it started to kill it, so i traded it in against a audi rs6 as nice as it is to drive i missed the fun of a subaru, so started looking for another subaru ended up with a classic catalunya running 414bhp with a fully forged engine,sti 6speed and loads of other nice bits on got it really cheap bloke was desperate for the money

how you going?

Sounds Like you have got 2 nice motors there.
Std 2.5s dont like 400bhp.
& you sold it with the oil usage, Bad lad.
The RS6,,,, one of my fav cars.
414 in a light classic will be mad.
Will you be entering the sprints next year?

I'm doing fine bud, getting car ready for next year. bloody money pits.

Clinic wont let you have any of theres, I tryed that when I was having mine mapped by them for the go go faster juice.

just got back from having car mapped 425bhp/385ftlbs on vpower.
but then 380bhp on 15% meths???????????????????
possible problems the mix was completely out, as it was abit of a guess of how much was left in tank, but when on power runs car was getting quite hot checked water level and it was low, so put some water in and removed quite abit of air maybe an air lock from when i refitted turbo? car also has a big stupid rad that arnt suppose to be that good? going to fit a standard one and a new thermostat.
But it also maybe headgasket?? did 150miles back home and doesnt seemed to have used any water. Cant see any signs of water in oil and no water in the overflow tank? going to test coolant tomorrow for exhaust gasses so fingers crossed.

just ran on vpower map doesnt seem any powerloss and drives spot on, goes like stink so all seems well ?

"Methanol occurs naturally in the human body and in some fruits, however it is poisonous in sufficient concentration. Ingestion of 10 ml can cause blindness and 60-100 ml can be fatal if the condition is untreated."

"Methanol is hygroscopic, meaning it will absorb water vapor directly from the atmosphere.[1] Because absorbed water dilutes the fuel value of the methanol (although, it suppresses engine knock), and may cause phase separation of methanol-gasoline blends, containers of methanol fuels must be kept tightly sealed."
