Yeah, that's a little before my time. Haha. I'm only 24.

My fiancee always thinks that I'm high, even though I don't do drugs. LOL.

Pain relief

Morphine

Like...get a body kit?

I don't know. The first thing that came to mind was yellow snow. LOL

Headache

Kit?

It took seven years before you had to replace your rear brake pads? How often did you drive it?

Yellow snow

LOL. I used to go out with girls for no more than half a year, then upgraded as better ones came along. Haha. I'm engaged now so the only upgrading I do is to my car.

Yes

Anything over the HP that your car is laying down is considered going faster. So what are your HP goals?

Those are all external pics. Any pics of the internals of that motor?

I got bored of the lex. I just decided that I wanted something else to mess with. Also got tired of all the oil leak problems that jap cars were givin me. I guess I just wanted better handling, more power and a new toy.

IC piping

Turbo

Just mock up the IC piping then bring it to a shop to have it welded. What kind of power are you looking to make? What kind of budget are you working with?

Energy

Cooler

Are you are looking for fabrication or just the parts?

It seems these days that a lot of indi shops already carry the necessary equipment and software to service European vehicle's. I'm not sure how others operate but I've always charged flat-rate book time. I figured that the extra 2-3 grand spent on additional tools were an investment and necessary to have, to become successful. I think that it just comes down to finding an honest auto shop.

Ohhh, I thought you were only getting an average of 9/mpg.

A power wire is a power wire. Why 1000 strands over 500? It doesn't matter what brand you go with because it doesn't affect sound quality. $500 is normal for a high output alternator.

If the SQ has been working for you then just replace it with a stock unit.

Check the sensor heating elements.

It is sludge for sure, right after I treated my RX300 with Auto-RX. I used the same Auto-RX treatment on my mom's 98 Accord. For 120K, she used cheap dino bulk oil and never a single drop of fuel or oil additive. Yet when I cut open the oil filter after 1500 miles of Auto-RX, nothing but clean oil filter media. If Auto-RX were to clean carbon build-up, her car would be the perfect candidate.

I am with you on how ARX is marketed, most people can't separate products with the way they are marketed. Many hate Amsoil for its MLM marketing scheme, even though Amsoil makes great oil.

I was skeptical about ARX in the beginning but decided to give it a try after reading independent owners' feedbacks. ARX's $ back warranty helps too.

Why 6K? Because that is the TBN limit of M1 5w30 posted at BITOG, if you can find me a UOA of dino that last 5K on 1mz-fe or 3mz-fe that has sufficient TBN, I would be the first to extend OCI. But like you, I am no dino fan.

Now I hope GC + ARX will give me longer OCI than 6K, but until I have done an UOA, I won't do so since I have no desire to have sludge build-up again. BITOG does not have many GC UOAs for 1mz-fe, none > 6K, there is one UOA with no TBN. Benchmarking of my GC+ARX will compare wear metals with comparable oil miles.

I will post back my finding in couple month, why don't you post back yours so findings can be shared with the rest?

GC...as in German Castrol? The green stuff? Where are you still able to find this stuff?
