-up close photo of the intake valves at X miles, pre walnet blast
-up close photo of the intake valves at same X miles, after walnut blast
-hopefully Touge will install catch can
-then after X more miles, take new pics of the valves up close.... and the big question everyone is waiting on .... does the catch can help?!?!?!?!?!
TOUGE, make it happen man, you'll be a legend on these boards!
Evil-
Unfortunately i do not have any more photos of the before and after. i will get the true odometer reading for u shortly. I will definately take pictures of the valves after lets say, 500 miles, 1000 miles, and 1500 miles... per my buddy who walnut blasts BMWs regularly, he has seen that oil catch cans benefit less than half the time. The true problem per his explanation is that Direct Injection will STILL eventually produce carbon build up, regardless of the oil catch can installed. I will study this now that I have them cleaned and see how much carbon deposits build up over time. STAY TUNED AND STAY HUNGRY MY FRIENDS!
Haven't posted in for ever but I thought I could make it up with this. Last weekend I finally got to run Streets of Willow and man was it thrilling! This small technical track makes small cars like ours shine! Shout out to IG: @thin.icee for the photos!
Thanks @idroveacamry !! HKS Cool Style installed! Needed a quieter exhaust, my Hi Power Silent is on sale !
Thank you for this!
I was about to order the same exhaust but was told by another member that this exhaust wouldn't clear the US bumper.
Glad to see I can go ahead with my order. I think the blue tips will look nice on my yellow fit
Installed my front EBC Rotors EBC Green Pads. Still gotta get those damn SS Lines done. Havent found a shop that would replace lines and flush brakes system at a reasonable price.
Any weight difference between these rotors and stock? If so, what? Sorry if I or someone else asked this already. Thanks!
your brake lines. im guessing that you just chose the blue pvc cover option to get the color? im interested in a red set myself and wanted to be sure my thinking is correct.

did the wiring harness fix those dash lights? ive been digging on these forums all night, and you’re the only one that matches my problem exactly. noticed most people had the CEL on as well in regards to the fuel injectors. tpms, traction, powering steering + check charging system are what i’ve got. these lights came on as soon as i installed some 25mm rear spacers and im trying to determine whether or not the lights coming on right after i installed the spacers are just a freak coincidence, if i messed something up, or if the ecu is confused about the new alignment. any feedback would be much appreciated.
Photo's of the Megan Racing Front Roll Center Adjusters installed, car leveled. Haven't tested driving on the twisties yet, need another alignment day. Maybe I should do that tomorrow morning .
OH! And these lovely's arrived... Work Emotion Kai 16x7 +35 Gun Metal...
Need new tires for these.. and I'm thinking about either the Falken Azenis RT615K+ in 215/45 or go budget Firestone Firehawk Indy 500 in 205/50. I plan on switching between the Volk TEs+S.Drives and the new wheel set up for next month's planed SF Speed Track Day at Mazda Speedway Laguna Seca and see how the car performs..
Cheers!
Did the Megan Roll Center Adjusters fit the OEM outer tire rods? I just tried buying some Megan RCAs and the seller cancelled my order saying they wouldn't fit OEM outer tire rods.

yes, i have not gotten those lights since the harness replacement. I doubt its the spacers. Hope you get thru the issue! Dont give up!

Why did you sell it to begin with? also, how long of an ETA did you receive?
I was told mine will arrive in the spring sometime
I damaged it and was too lazy to repair it. After I sold it, the guy repaired it fast and looked like nothing happen to it. I order mine used since early dec, it arrived in Los Angeles last week, and will arrive at my door step this Thursday...
