my teg has 301xxx kms on it and still going strong despite burning and leaking oil everywhere!
Haha galaxy nexus, keeps doing that. I get a bit of a burning oil snell adter some vteccing, im assuming thats not great
Pumped up the 17s to 42 psi front and rears
Definitely better handling and less understeer and sway. Any reccomendations
What size tyres?
42 sounds a bit high. I'd have thought something lower would be better for handling/oversteer.
I used to run 215/40/17 on 34PSI. Went nicely.
Yeah same sizes, i personally like higher pressuees car rills more easily and less deformation of tyre under cornering. Ill probably just change it to 42/40 psi
is a low level ticking niise normal at idle? Valve lash?
Yeah just checked my engine oil levels their really low just above the lower dot . The motor must've burnt a lot of oil over time and vteccing.
The ticking may be valves, yeah.
Do you have a feeler gauge and some other basic tools?
nah dont got feeler gauge and wouldnt attempt to do the valve lash, in case i got it wrong, dont have expereince with taht stuff. anyone know the rates for getting the valve lash adjusted.
Wouldn't be surprised if you get done for at least $200-400.
fuark, $200-$400 for 30mins job.
easy money there lol
i would be happy if someone pays me $100 to do this on their car
30min? Lightning man lol.
They will charge you an hourly rate, probably a base rate, probably advise new valve cover gasket etc.
