At least you're a happy drunk ;) (I'm an angry sober most of the time)

Really depends on the driving style/end use of the car, spirited driving around the twisties will soon kill even upgraded stock brakes as they don't have enough mass to disipate the heat generated.

Is the rear lowered?

LMAO a "Self Fucking Mk3 Owner" who would have thought :D

Babbit is on the Journals, saddles are plain Al, another possible contributing factor will be an annealed head on the Ex side, be interesting to see the intake side for comparison.

LMAO I can see upper cylinder wear being an issue with bad air filters and I guess in time you could end up with enough wear that some crap would get by the rings into the crankcase then into the oiling system, I'd hope even the worst filter would catch the majority of this garbage. Another...

Depending on tire size that would have to be getting close to the spring on the inside?

^ Well worth checking Fubar. Still trying to get my head around how ingested dirt finds it's way to the Cam saddles though?

Still has to get by the oil filter to cause that sort of damage doesn't it?

Blocked filter that's bypassed at some point in the engines life would be my "guess"..

Hand them the bill at the end up it all they may just pay it, if not you're already paying it anyway... Always a good idea to get pics the second this sort of shit happens no matter what. (bit surprised they repaired to road as soon as they did wonder if MrMailman reported it?)

Would like to have seen the holes themselves, if you had pics the City "should" have paid for any and all repairs no questions asked.

ditto

Early RK will quiet down with some RPM as the pump moves enough Oil to re-establish the Oil wedge between the crank and rod bearing, dropping oil pressure at idle is a handy way to follow the bearing wear as RK gets worse. Scenario goes, bit of wear pressure drops you lose the wedge and the...

What does a replacement wheel cost?

True for ALL MHG's. (If the deck doesn't pass inspection for flatness/smoothness)

Remember me saying that the QS valve was poor mans VNT and was brilliant in it's simplicity?? :)

:slap:

OK really confused now then, ONLY way deflection can be "backwards" is if mechanically the TPS is reversed OR if the + and - have been reversed. The ECU wants the signal one way. Only other thing I can think of is reverse the multimeter leads ;) (you might be probling backwards)

- signal + Needs to be + signal - due to your mechanical mods to the linkage BUT here is the problem, if you do that IDL is on the wrong side and will be reading only at WOT (tried to explain this earlier but if you don't understand the basic function of the TPS you'll have trouble...
