Well for me, I haven't done anything astronomical to my car yett. I did however find out my rear passenger door was.... replaced? It had all factory paint, trim etc but noticed "wood grain" trim on the door panel instead of the carbon fiber.. no issue. I found matching trim and installed it with ease. Have yet to wash my car yet. Oh and my front sensor for the parallel parking assist fell into the mounting hole in my bumper. Oops.
So what did you do to your SHO today!?

I swore off speedways prior to my first e30 tune when I consistently got knock with their 93. Guess it’s been awhile cause I didn’t even know they had e85. I like meijer cause top tier and they have e85 but I moved and I’m stuck with family express as the most convenient.
I learn so much here at times, sounds like Brad is getting more of my paycheck with all this e30. That said mind sharing that app name?
So a shout out to my MI SHO owners - traveling for work and just outside Detroit and in Dearborn eating out at Fords Garage
That's so cool! I gotta make my way down there sometime!

Brad's E30 tune is worth every penny. My former SHO put good power to the tire and there was ZERO knock. The cooling properties of Ethanol are second to none. Plus you have 93 in the pumps too. I would **** for a 93 octane based E30 tune.
When @stripSHO starting tuning my Lexus, we went from 91 octane straight to E54. All he did was add timing, monitored AFR in lambda, and we kept the same boost. The car picked up 56 hp........just from fuel------> 440 HP and 414 TQ - 17 PSI on 91 Octane | 496 HP and 439 TQ - 16.7 psi on E54.
So yeah.....E30 all the way.

So the carbon build up is less too. So my turbos are maxed of course, and I can spin a tire through turns or take offs with chirps.
Can it be too much? Am I missing something? Not asking to be sold just seeing what else does it add for me.
Brads last comments on my 93:
"So the log looked good but the one thing I do see is that I think we mentioned before is your turbos are probably not in the best of shape. They are fine at normal and tuned boost but they are maxxed out now. At about 5300 RPM I'm having to throw 100% wastegate duty at them to try to hold boost and they are dropping pretty bad. After 5300rpm and to 6000rpm your boost drops to about 13 psi in 2nd gear and 14 psi in 3rd gear. That is fairly normal though on used turbos of this size. But with keeping the throttle open and all that wastegate you are getting boost spikes probably around 19 psi so riding that wave is adding power."

I would ask him if you are getting knock on the 93. I would assume he would be able to add even more timing because of better fuel on E30. 2 to 3 degrees will make a difference if there is head room for it. If you havent mentioned a E30 tune to him, there is a good chance he wont bring it up.
I wasn't for sure.... No knock

Loaded in my 10 revision e30 tune, been waiting all winter. Even on a great 93 tune the car just feels slow lol. Raised idle and neutral to 700rpm and i keep wondering why it’s idling a little high lol. E30 and ad mounts like a higher idle so im not shook to death

Can anyone tell me what this is called? Extras kudos for an Amazon link or part #. I've lost one of the nuts and bumpers. This is from the under belly splash cover.

It’s called, radiator support splash shield/ rear deflector
I bought them from the dealership. Even replaced the pan, how did the shop I brought the car to get oil dump and fills get oil all over it amazed me. When the car sat for 6 months or more I would have them just dump the oil and refill it. Amazes me how the mess was so bad., that or my car leaks oil like a sieve.
