    Those Techron bottles are something like $30 each? This guy tested it's effect on cylinder head, really dosed it, didn't do much. Maybe better for injectors, who knows.

    Years ago (early 90s) I had a talk with a guy from Chevron about Techron. BMW had a problem with the intake valve stems building up a lot of crud on them that was interfering with the car's performance. They were blasting the stems with walnut shells to clean them, but wanted something easier and Techron was the solution. The Chevron guy said the best results were obtained when using Techron in stop and go applications. If you pour it in the tank and hit the highway, it wouldn't clean anything as well as stop and go.

    Lets see my car dodged massive tree branches from last nights ice storm from hell , almost 1-21/2 inches of ices on tree branches, almost the entire neighborhood had 1/4 to 3/4 of their tree branches missing and i could hear the tree branches snapping all night last night, and my car threw a fit with a 10 second warm up misfire session (whole engine bay was rattling) at 28*F and now got a CEL of P0301, quick erase and it never came back. My commute this morning involved dodging fallen tree branches as you can see in the picture, far right side of the road an entire tree was blocking the road.

    I just looked on Amazon Canada; Canadian prices can get extreme.

    When I was researching about spring, I found out that the Trd spring rate is stiffer than teins or Tanabe df210. Trd is also very slight drop FYI

    I love how your car looks. But I just want a subtle drop. Not too slammed looking. Where can I get that front lip add on?
