Made the switch to E85 few weeks ago on my 2012 STi. Breaking in a new clutch right now so I can't boost! FFFUUUUUUU so agonizing. |

Oh man thats lame! I've worried about this locally as well, there's really only one convenient station nearby to fill up on E85... if they stopped carrying it then that would really change things. Has anyone else seen E85 in their area come and go, or does it usually stick around?

Yeah thats what I have been afraid of with the subsidy expiring.
Be careful to not let your car sit with E85 in it for too long, it can start to create issues with corrosion in your fuel system and especially in your injectors. Either park the car with normal gasoline in it, or you can pickle your injectors by doing the following: |

Our other primary station in the area (Quik Trip) thinks the opposite. They think E85 is a fad and auto diesel is the future so they keep adding diesel pumps to their stations. I've sent them a few nasty emails because I was a loyal customer of theirs since I could drive and I really like their stations better but they refuse to get E85. Around here the distributors also seem to be learning that customers are now mostly educated enough on E85 to know that if the price of it isn't quite a bit lower than gasoline, its not worth running in their FFVs so the price of E85 seems to hang pretty low around here compared to other markets that I've seen. |

Its possible you'll be ok letting the car sit longer than that with E85 in the tank but its really not worth the risk. |

I'm at 10,000 miles on E85 on the stock clutch (21,000 overall) and haven't had mine slip yet but I can feel it getting a little tired so I'm starting to shop around. How do you like what you went with? |

My XTI made 360/ 450 on e85 with the vf48 and stock EJ255. My stock STI clutch hated all that torque. My clutch was in great shape but the stock sti clutch can only handle < 400 WTQ. I'm running the ACT XT SS clutch now and it's a great clutch very street friendly and handles my current 540/ 490 power level very well!!

I really liked the Southbend Stage 2 Endurance clutch when I tried it. It held quite a bit of power, and felt the same or maybe slightly softer pedal effort than stock. Most recently I used the ACT XT 6-puck sprung clutch, and I really liked that. The pedal effort is a bit stiffer, but nothing horrible by any means. It held my power without issues. From what I have seen, this clutch and a couple of others rated to about the same is about the highest you can get without going dual or triple disc.
