I am but not downtown. I'm out towards the Gorge in Boring. The Willamette Valley and particularly the Yamhill Valley have really become a premier wine grape growing location. My dad's side of the family is from the Yamhill area and my grandparents old house is now a winery. |

So far have had the ZMP, Jaffster, Performance alcantara, ZHP, and now this Motorsport Golf Ball that IND currently has in stock for a pretty good price. My trans feels pretty notchy in comparison to other N54 manuals so I've been through two different short shift kits and all those knobs for the best feel.
The golf ball is pressure fit, not the clip that the standard knobs use. Feels much more solid because it contacts the entire lever whereas the standard knobs probably have a little play. It is maybe just lighter than the ZMP, but I feel like it has more weight than the ZHP knob when in actual use. Last edited by drunkenup; 09-10-2017 at 04:56 PM.. |

Crossed the 50,000km (31k mls) mark. Forgot to take a photo.
Now driving with some weird clutch squeak, too. This thing has no chill and it's making me nervous. |

Scanned for codes and these popped up: P0171 system too lean (bank 1) and P10D9 fuel rail sensor 'A' signal stuck. Cleared the codes and tried to start it again and it died a couple more times. This was last week and now the car has been running fine ever since. BMWs... gotta love 'em. lol |

Got the stuff to do the intake valve cleaning too- don't think mine have ever been done. Again, waiting on cooler weather to dive into the PM work.
Also have a set of WL RSFB inserts to..., erm..., insert.

I've read that any motor with direct injection is susceptible to carbon build up.

I've been on DI for just over a decade now, and tuning them for most of that time.
By their core design DI engines will always need special treatment for the intake valves- Port injection constantly washes the intake valves with fuel, direct injection does not. Steps can be taken to mitigate the symptoms, and the N55 is indeed one of the better examples, but even with PI or Meth spraying during WOT use, or very clean & well designed PCV and/or EGR systems, any DI engine will eventually accumulate build up on the intake valves. So, some will need cleaning as early as 40K miles, others can see 60 or 70K, even others may get 100K, but all of em will need cleaning eventually.
