    'Hypothetical' haha. I hear you get decent gains, but at can you justify the 1k you'll have to spend on changing things. Not to mention the uncommon supply of it around.
    - Orange Golf mk1 LS, 1.8 5speed, 32/36 - sold
    - Golf mk1 Swallowtail rebuild, completely stripped
    - Brown U.S import 81 cabby

    WOW!I did not even know they had one of those. Very rare I suspect. Take your time and enjoy the process.

    Have a read through one of Peter Jones's threads about his race car. Pretty certain he did the swap to e85. Or was it from e85 ......

    It was to E85, but not through carbs. Mark, go talk to Weber Performance again and see what they say. I know you need to increase jet sizes by around 30% to cope with the fuel demands, but beyond that I have no idea.

    I imagine new fuel pump (not cheap eBay crap like we use), new fuel lines and hoses. Doesn't seem too hard as long as you don't mind using a tank of fuel every 200kms
