Default Haha...you won't believe it but...

I was (still am, kinda) debating trading it in for an Imola that McKenna just got in. But that little voice of sensibility in the back of my head tells me it wouldn't be worth the effort of swapping out mods (especially exhaust) so I'm probably gonna stay with my blue.
BTW, I like the new sig...very samurai-ish! (and I'm not talking about the little Suzukis)

Default Try Tolulene...it's about 114 octane, so do the math to see how much must be added

to your tank to get what your computer/ECU is really set for...95. Or do the same for 100 octane race gas.
Your turbos will LOVE it!

Default I usually keep a can of non-acetonic paint thinner lying around.

contains all of that tolulene, zylene, mumbo jumbo. I've got a sheet somewhere with all the conversion data. I'll try and dig it up for you.
