Sadly, after everything you've shared, I think he's right. Other than the grounding and the whole knock sensor problem, many of the issues may point back to the tune.
I've not seen them, but if they are similar to the pads I once used from Harbor Freight many years ago, one of the biggest differences is durability. Those pads would start to fall apart after only...
From the logs I've seen it's certainly not for the faint of heart. Total gibberish to me, but I've seen conversations on forums where a couple really smart people pick out bad values in minutes and...
The couple times I've done it I don't think I had to resort to an eraser wheel. I plastic razor blade removed the big chunks of adhesive tape and then I used a little 3M adhesive remover to clean up...
Interesting. I've never heard of that before. 2500~3500RPM would be right in the middle of steady state highway speeds in fifth or sixth gear. Anyone not hooning would probably land right in that...
There is something about the air density at 60~70F that puts engines in their "happy place". My turbo'd cars seemed to run their best at about 65F and my N/A car now is really happy at 70F.
Do tire shops even use clip on weights for non-commercial vehicles any more? I can't say I've seen a clip on weights anywhere for a very, very long time. Many of the wheel designs don't really lend...
This is my method of new tire prep too. I let nature run it's course to let the mold release agents and any rim lube used by the tire shop wear off. I don't think I' let them go two months, but do...
I *think* I do too, but I'm never quite sure if it actually looks different or my brain is coming up with something to make me feel better about the money spent on a product and the time/effort to...
I never had it worsen the water behavior either when I used it on CQUK 3.0, but that shouldn't make any difference. In fact, I never noticed any change in water behavior at all before/after...
It's only in the Spring. Our yard has this bluegrass/fescue stuff that goes nuts when it's cool and wet. Several years ago when we'd get rain 2~3 a week in the spring I'd be mowing every four day...
I've had to cut mine a couple times by now. In years past I'd be mowing every four days or so, but it's been so dry here this winter and spring I only have to worry about it every 7~8.
Griots Garage Wheel Cleaner (the green one) is a really mild wheel cleaner and does a great job on that sticky BMW brake dust. When I owned a 435 MSport, it easily cleaned up the wheels.
I think any boosting ability is seen towards the end of a coating's life. I've used Carpro Elixr, ECH2O, Gyeon Cure and Ceramic Detailer, and now Armour Detail Amplify. On a fresh coating I could...
