Engine feels great even at part throttle and under 4k rpm, highly recommend everyone disassemble and get some head. |

Did you test compression? I bet it's cherry after valves lapped.

I didn’t but that plus some fresh rings and cleaning up the buildup on the valves is probably what I’m feeling.

Oh, damn.... I fixated on the heads and forgot that you replaced the whole short block.

Not sure why there was some gunk building up in the clutch reservoir, but removed the recently fluid I put in, and tried wiping off as much of the blackish gunk as I could, and put in new fluid.

It's fine particles wearing off of the piston's o-rings. Normal and harmless. Ends up in the reservoir because that is the net flow of fluid. As the clutch wears, the reservoir fills.

What was meant to be simply adding quad tip garnishes to a MY17 bumper turned into a lot more work. I bought a bumper online that had much more severe damage than described and shown in the pictures. I had 0 painting or body repair experience going into it but here is what I started with, and here is where I’m at now after getting the quad tips welded on today. Had to modify the diffuser to fit but I think it was worth it and don’t know that anyone else has done the same combo before.
Really happy with how the paint came out, did mess up in a few spots but for a first time and doing a paint blend with spray cans I can’t complain. Last edited by Sam86; 10-30-2022 at 05:18 AM. |

Aliexpress, just keep in mind those particular tips significantly changed my exhaust tone, at least from what I hear inside the cabin. Don’t know if that’s due to it being a dual tip, the resonator “heat dispersion” holes or both

Not sure it’s hard to describe. I don’t know whether I like it more or less than before, still need more time with it and to hear it from the outside. I don’t think it’s actually quieter, I just think the sound is a deeper tone which makes it seem quieter- since the exhaust doesn’t really scream as high pitch when you get up the revs like it used to (I’m uel headers fully catless, dual resonated front pipe and partial catback muffler). My exhaust would start off deep and rumble until about 4K when it would go up in pitch, now it seems to keep that deep rumble all the way through for the most part.
For me the difference in sound/ tone was more noticeable just from these tips than it was from me swapping my stock front pipe to the HKS dual resonated, catless FP. The tips clamp on so I might buy the same pair without the holes to compare |
