I'm thinking of getting an oil analysis done, just to see what's going on in there... for $30 or so, why not? maybe I'm too curious for my own good. I agree it runs hot as hell though

Do you have a K&N air filter by chance? I was reading somewhere about K&N air filters letting in more dirt into the intake (as the price for better airflow i guess), has me wondering about mine... I've noticed the same phenomenon with mine, I use mobil one and the nissan oil filter with a K&...

cool, thanks for that tip... I managed to get them on there better after sanding the bolts, its still not 50/50 in terms of the distribution of the bushing on each side, more like 60/40. One thing that is still bothering me is the way the washers go on the bushing; when I took them off I took note o...

thanks for the quick replies... I did use some silicone spray lube on it but didn't think of sanding it, and it was rough as hell, I'm going to try that.

I swapped out my rear shocks for Bilsteins today, it went ok except the bushings on the bilsteins were super tight and it was impossible to get them on evenly on the bottom (although the tops went on fine, I put those on first)... the pictures will explain better what I mean: Top mount: http://i101....

One part I thought was funny was the claim that using the system gives your engine more power and torque, therefore there is LESS stress on the engine and it will last longer. Since when does more torque result in less stress on the parts? these are strange days indeed

I wish this would work, but chemically it doesn't make sense, makes me especially nervous when they start claiming things like "free energy". Although I didn't read the books so I don't really know, but I definitely won't be shelling out $100 to get the books either.

I mentioned this in another thread, but I think I saw Cobrastrike here in London. Sorry to bring this back on topic

Good to see you here; I sent you a PM on the old board the day of the switch to this board (i know, smart) to let you know I think I saw you (based on the license plate) saturday at by home depot... I was the guy in the stock silver 02 gawking at your truck. Pretty sweet X! :worthy: I must have miss...

forgot to mention that I have 2 greyhounds, which was the initial impetus for getting the X, so if anyone is thinking of adopting a retired racing dog let me know! ETA: I mean, If you want to get your own, you can't have mine...

Hi everyone, I was jmaudio over at NTC, I had about 30 post in almost 2 years so I don't post that often but I make use of the knowledge available now and then... I hope to contribute more as I gain more knowledge, I've been doing all my own maintenance and learning as I go. I am in London, I lived ...
