Serratia Posted May 5, 2012 Report Share Posted May 5, 2012 (edited) Just wondering how yours in faring. To be honest mine is running the best it ever has done. I think i blew out lots of cobwebs. It seems to pick up do much better in every gear. I do a crappy 2 mile drive to work and back each day and i think my ecu has learned to run on choke a lot more, but driving around at 7000rpm in third gear all day has worked wondered. It was also a relief to learn my "sparking" brakes were perfectly normal when pushed, due to the compound in the pads apparently. How cool is that!?! So how is yours doing?

Hou Posted May 5, 2012 Report Share Posted May 5, 2012 Mine is doing well, brakes feel better, car feels more responsive but that might be me just having more confidence in it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

celicamojo Posted May 5, 2012 Report Share Posted May 5, 2012 I had only done about 150 miles in the car before heading off on Friday, I now know a lot more about the car. fixed the brake caliper issues last week and have now been able to really drive it for past few days (and had nothing fall off!!!)

J03 Posted May 5, 2012 Report Share Posted May 5, 2012 (edited) So moral of the story is, rag the bush off your motor because it makes it better. Duly noted! Edited May 5, 2012 by J03 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
