Maybe we should do a deal

It starts!, injectors are being pulled today to be cleaned
New rims turned out to have a pile of cracks and a flat spot (SIGH!) so they are currently being repaired
I'm supposed to have them back on Wednesday with new RS3 tyres as well
245/40/18 front and 275/35/18 rear

After injectors go back in, i'm going to drive it for about 500km before swapping from stock tune to stage 2 tune... then time for the drags

I missed something, what car are you talking about?

Edit: I r a derp. I thought I was in the Bruce thread :bleep_bloop:

So... 5 out of 6 injectors failed testing, one passed with perfect flying colors
sample of fuel got sent off... and fully passed testing
Have raised the issue with my previous insurer as the car only got 30k put onto it in the 3 years since they paid to fix it and I have 5 dead injectors which seams like.... a bad batch...
Insurer has agreed that this does not seam right and adjuster is going to come inspect the car in the next 2 weeks
It may yet just get written off... because... its only worth $12k at this point but I'm hopeful it just gets fixed

Everything moving slowly at the moment because demolishing house

bowie

It's crazy how much they depreciate. What a car really!
