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

Oh yeah, I don't risk it anymore. Too many "supervisions" and a suspension on my record.

I like calling them, "frequent flyer miles.'

Unfortunately, the trackday at COTA got cancelled due to the monsoon rains we were getting. To make up for it, I took her here on my way up to Virginia.

Where at in Virginia?

Hello, mk09. I didn't know we have members in San Antonio. I live in Austin. BTW, your car looks very similar to mine: 2005 IR, black leather, MT. :thumbsup

Swapped over to winter wheels/tires today. Man the Wilwoods look huge behind the 68's. :biggrin

I think the service bulletin says they "can" burn up to 1 qt very 1k.

are y'all using the stock CCV? i think it has a lot to do with that and how that affects the piston rings sealing correctly (especially when it's all clogged up). i used to use about a liter every 2000 miles, now i don't really use any at all over a 4000 mile change interval after my catch can/PCV implementation. car runs so much better, too.

I have spacers on, but I'm fairly certain I did a test once to see if they'd fit without the spacers. I remember them fitting, but just barely...
