25 Litres of 99.9% pure methanol in it's original sturdy PVC tank. I bought this as an experiment for my stage 4 VXT, but since tuning it to 350 lb/ft, Courtenay recommend that I never use it or the extra power may damage the engine. If you are wondering what methanol does, have a good look around on Google. I used it and noteiced that the engine's low end 'pick up' was slightly reduced but high revs power was increased. Approx 10% mixture of methanol to 99 Octane petrol will increase the octane by approx. 40 points (ie 4 full octane points), so it is far more cost effective than 'octane boost' bottles you can buy in shops. On the one occasion I tried it, I got my car upto 165 (indicated) Leptons on a local runway and it was still pulling a teeny bit (I have testest my speedo against GPS and it overreads by 2%, so this was a genuine 162 leptons). Bear in mind that I have a stage 4 CMS tune and perhaps this promotes engine advance more to take advantage of the methanol. However, even if you have a standard tune engine, this stuff at approx 2.5% mix will yeild noticable extra BHP out of your engine. Just look at the F1 fuels mixes, methanol is a major part of their concoctions. Nev.

If it doesn't go by June 3th I'll give my mate a shout when he's back from France. He has a MONSTER power methanol kitted Aeon GT3; and might be interested
