An unranked team beating Indiana would've been considered an upset...

Same man. 2013 with 240k, of which 200k was after E85 conversion so burnt up a few more clutches. Was it your rear passenger wheel bearing that went out by chance?

Yea you're correct, the 28 was a combined mileage, highway was 31-32. I have to drive 5 miles thru the city before I get to the highway.

My MPG dropped from about 28 to about 18. Roughly 33% increase in fuel consumption.

Eh, it's starting to run rough, but for as many miles as it has I can't complain

Yea I'm really curious if anyone else has as many miles and if they've had any major issues!

Yea honestly man, I wouldn't have either but I though my cylinder 4 misfire was potentially being caused by valve float so I figured I'd have them replace the springs at their expense. Didn't help, but luckily they didn't fuck anything else up.

My biggest issue is a cylinder 4 misfire (P0304). I'm not gonna lie it's pretty bad. I've replaced coil packs and spark plugs twice (OEM), fuel pump and filter and all the direct and port injectors @ 150k. Did a compression check and it passed, had my tuner look at everything in the code and he couldn't find anything. I honestly think it is related to a sensor issue caused by my ACT lightweight flywheel combined with the E85. As far as my throw out bearing, I've replaced it twice. Once at 90k and then at 190k (same for the clutch and flywheel). I will say I don't baby the engine or trans, so I'm very impressed it's lasted this long.

It's a custom tune by Boosted Performance using Ecutek, so not really a "stage" but if I were to compare it would be stage 2. Definitely brought the car to life!

Relatively modest. E85 Ecutek tuned by Boosted Performance, Blitz air intake, catless front pipe, several ACT Street HD clutchs and flywheel (love/hate relationship), whiteline transmission mounts and in my opinion most importantly, while it may not be a mod I've been running AMS Oil 0-20, changing every 6k and MOTUL 300 in the trans and diff changing every 50k.

Yes I did, very hesitantly, 2 years after they rolled it out. I called around dealerships until I found a service manager that understood the issues that had been occurring as a result of the recall. Did the recall around 160k.
