What did you do for your ZHP/ BMW / MINI today? #2

[az3579]

well, that's kinda the idea... you wouldn't be.

A catch can requires you to empty it... how wouldn't I be?

The Burger Tuning catch can I put in Kristen's 135 needs to be checked/emptied every couple of months... That's not too bad

In for your thoughts on those pads as you experience them.

I believe 3ZHPGUY uses these pads and is a big fan.

the theory is that you're losing oil due to poorly-sealing piston rings. introducing more vacuum to the crankcase allows the rings to seal better, thus less oil consumption... which means less in the catch can.

i was using 1L per 3000KMs before i implemented the catch can/PCV setup, now i use almost zero.

So how did you introduce more vacuum into crankcase? Pics.

Beat me to it, Guy has those pads and likes them. Between reading his review on them here and them being on sale on TireRack, I went for it.

I'll let you know how the Hawk pads are with the BMW Performance rotors, Daniel, when I bed them properly and get some miles on them.

Fog lamp replacement. Couldn't be easier to do!

I drive 30-32k miles a year. How much does the 135i get driven? 2 months would not be a fair estimate in my case. I'm worried about having to do it every week, because I WILL forget and I am most definitely very lazy. The less I have to do the better.

See my point above. How many miles do you drive in a week? How often do you empty your catch can?

OEM or aftermarket?
