But of course.

That shit is ugly Peter. I think everyone should have have their inlet valves cleaned every 50,000k's.

No wonder he was so bad in the runs last night. I thought a fbo/meth/lsd car would own me.

fixed!

How much does an intake valve cleaning cost? I am at 49,000 km so I wouldn't be surprise if mine is as bad!

JB4-335 · 04-26-2012, 05:38 AM

wife's car

How about Eastern Creek next wednesday. I believe there is a nice group of people going there in the morning.

In fairness I don't think clintons car was running well last night. Despite good cold turbo weather the car just didn't seem to be running 100%. Hopefully the carbon flush out will do the car a world of good.

Don't worry Lusty I'll sell you my car. Just deposit around $70k into my account that will go towards my R35 GTR fund.. Then you'll have Australia's second fastest 135i from 0-400m.

the motor runs SOOOOOOO smoth

luster · 04-30-2012, 07:13 AM

all good, I'll write you a cheque.

sbce90 · 04-30-2012, 07:27 AM

Does the car work though?

Bets on how long until it f*cks up again!

Odds as follows -

Within the next 5 minutes 1:1

And that is all.

alik01 · 04-30-2012, 07:28 AM

Disgusting!

Would this be avoided by frequent oil changes, OCC and track days??

Doubt you can totally avoid it on a DI engine, probably minimize it with OCC and meth though?
