Do you think once the front suspension articulates it will rub the fenders? Are you running fox arms?
how pumped are you going to be cruising on a nice fall night with the windows down?
Although honestly if I spend that much time effort and money on my fox, I'm going to make it better then perfect too, and you are your own toughest critic, so the day that it is perfect in your eye is the day that people's heads explode when they see your foxy foxYour version of land a plane in there and the amount of actual gap are probably perceived much differently by anyone looking at the car other than you. You take perfection to a whole new level! Very well done
While I'm certainly no chemical engineeer, my understanding is that leaded fuel was designed as a lubricant for the valve seats in early days to prolong their service life. It was also determined to add noxious pollutants to the air, so it was banned in the 70's as a motor fuel for vehicles driven on the street. Race gas, and Av gas still have lead in their chemical composition for the same benefit, but are not outlawed due to a comparably limited usage vs the millions of cars on the streets. Using a leaded fuel in a car equipped w/ catalytic converters is a sure fire recipe for a clogged converter.
Av gas has detonation inhibitors that actually slow down the burn, and make it's usage in a race car/high compression engine less than favorable when compared to using the equivalent octane rated automotive gas (i.e. Sunoco 260).
Alcohol based fuels, (like the E85 I'm considering) burn even slower than AV gas, at at a much lower temp than gasoline. It also takes considerably more of it to do the same job.
Cars running E85 will get significantly poorer gas milage as a result. While fuel consumption is a definite con, the fact that it burns so cool makes the engine run significantly cooler, to the extreme that race cars powered solely on methyl-alcohol do not even need a radiator. The other, obvious pro is the potential 100+ octane rating. It's a very clean burning fuel as well, so the typical carbon, and crud that are by products of gasoline, is non-existent when using E85
Back on the con side, it's corrosive, and your equipment has to pump more of it. There is a very high percentage of moisture in E85, and that moisture typically ends up fouling the engine oil much more quickly than a gas fueled engine. That makes the stuff not compatible w/ every filter/pump/regulator/lines currently in use on a gas powered vehicle. That makes for a little homework to determine what has to be changed/upgraded when considering it as a fuel.
Now, I don't know how I did on my armchair chemistry lesson, but that is how I've always seen it.

I stopped at the notary and registered the car. Should have my antique plate in a few weeks. This state is great. Just fill out a form, pay $150, and you get a lifetime registration and no safety or emissions inspections ever. They used to require 4 photos of the car and it had to appear completely stock, but luckily they did away with that 2 years ago.
