It was nice to meet you and see your car up at MTC!

It was good to meet you too Brendan!

any news on the e85 yet mate?
 
I want to see your results to see if I could be bothered going down the same track

I did a few long drives recently to use up about 90% of the fuel in the tank, so I'll be filling the whole tank with E85 this week. I think I'll be getting the E85 power tune next Wednesday, but I have to confirm with MRC.

Thanks Paul/Senor_2 for a few more great photos from MTC!

Thanks Peter!
I love the rims too, I keep thanking Jay for convincing me to change from my old rims lol.

Tonight I finally put a full tank of E85 into my car, and the flex-fuel functionality continued to impress me.
I drove around for about 30 minutes while datalogging so I could make sure everything is behaving (before Wednesday when my car is booked in for an E85 tune at MRC). According to the datalogs, which included full-boost on a few occasions, it looks like MRC won't even have to change any fuel trims, they can just focus on ignition timing and adding a few more psi of boost.

Were you able to log the actual ethanol content the sensor was picking up in the fuel?

*EDIT*:
 
Yeah, it was 77%.
I went to the servo just after the fuel light came on, and the remaining fuel was 45% ethanol. I added 47 litres of E85 at United in Yagoona, to fill the tank completely.  The SW20 fuel tank is apparently 55 litres, so it works out that the ethanol concentration of the 'E85' out of the pump was actually about 82%. That is typical for United, from what I've heard.
