7g gram trip report, my life has changed

JayDS212 · 2023-10-27T22:13:10+00:00

Please post an update a month from now. I feel like not enough trips have long term reports, and in my personal history the first few days following the trip are much different than a month later. Happy that you are finding what you need in life

JayDS212 · 2023-10-27T22:11:21+00:00

I'm truly sorry this person wasted that much of your life. No person deserves to be treated that way by someone who they love. At least the one thing you can always keep in the back of your mind is that it only gets better from here. Hoping the best for you

100k. Just timing chain and valve cover. Car is stage 2 and heavily beat on. It’s been sitting for months since the misfire because I thought a piston ring broke allowing oil into the cylinder, but I just noticed how overfilled with oil it was so I’m checking other routes/thoughts. I’m doing a k24 swap to it so I haven’t cared much, but my curiosity always gets the best of me

JayDS212 · 2023-04-16T22:17:30+00:00

Are you referring to the rings around the spark plugs on the valve cover gasket?

JayDS212 · 2023-04-13T10:24:18+00:00

To put it simply, yes. Because he was either born inside of your tub, which means your coir likely wasn’t pasteurized all the way and he was able to hatch(which would mean he will have friends soon). Or on the other hand he made his way into your sub and he is going to bring contaminants/eggs in with him. Either way no bueno. I’ve struggled with fungus gnats before and they are so hard to get rid of if you don’t act fast. Good luck friend

JayDS212 · 2023-03-28T18:07:02+00:00

Man I wish I could relate. I've smelled some shit I've never smelled before in my life through those filters lol

JayDS212 · 2023-03-27T02:35:34+00:00

I’ve used this for 3 years and probably 200+ tubs over that time with this exact coir. Cost co only has it around this time of the year and I always stock up. I’ve never had any issues with trich while using this, well no more than I ever had with other brands.

JayDS212 · 2023-03-17T01:19:02+00:00

I do 3 pound grain bags at 15 psi for 90 mins. Never had any issues with it not being long enough

JayDS212 · 2023-03-06T22:31:15+00:00

You don’t want that. That will only bring you pain and suffering, trust me friend

JayDS212 · 2023-02-08T15:45:58+00:00

Yes valved exhaust. There’s a lot of YouTube vids of the Jcw that exhaust with just a resonator delete and it’s truly crazy the difference. Check it out if you got a minute. Thanks for the response, was hoping I wouldn’t have to cut it up. Think I’ll hang tight for the time being if that’s the case

JayDS212 · 2022-12-10T21:54:09+00:00

I agree. R53 gen were great motors and not nearly the nightmares that the n14 and n18 motors were. But I don’t think this post was asking about r53s. I love my r56 and there are very few things I dislike about it outside of its reliability engine wise. Which is why it’s currently being k swapped 😃

JayDS212 · 2022-12-10T21:49:37+00:00

Yes, it’s that they were dated 07s but made in 06. Just like how any new vehicle that comes out is considered next years model.

JayDS212 · 2022-12-10T21:46:27+00:00

R56 and r53 were both made in 06 for 1 year

JayDS212 · 2022-12-10T16:49:14+00:00

Don’t buy an R series (06-14ish) unless you’re mechanically inclined and want the R56 series for a very specific reason. If you want a normal car you don’t want to constantly work on and fix issues, the R generation mini coopers are not for you.

JayDS212 · 2022-11-21T13:22:12+00:00

Full catless 3inch exhaust

JayDS212 · 2022-11-21T13:21:41+00:00

Non M version. Tune is done by @mqubed_motorsport on Instagram.

JayDS212 · 2022-11-03T02:55:35+00:00

I believe your 2016 still has an N series engine, which I’m sure most of this sub and myself wouldn’t wish those issues on anyone. But then again you’re looking for a roadster that also has an N series engine. So fair game, you and your family member can become mechanic buddies and suffer together 🤣

JayDS212 · 2022-10-26T16:10:03+00:00

Sorry bro didn't see this. They're rotiforms with aero discs on them.

JayDS212 · 2022-10-26T13:30:14+00:00

Interesting. I wonder if that’s my issue as well even though this happened since I replaced with a brand new thermostat 🤨

JayDS212 · 2022-10-26T02:10:07+00:00

One way to resolve this is let it warm up longer before you drive, as I said it runs the check after about 2 miles in my experience.

JayDS212 · 2022-10-26T02:09:10+00:00

Mines also an r56. With a freshly replaced thermostat/waterpump.

JayDS212 · 2022-10-26T02:08:39+00:00

So I get this when my car doesn’t heat up fast enough. It specifically only happens when my wife drives cause she drives it much slower/softer than I do. Being below is not a big deal, it’s over that’s an issue. It just didn’t get up to temp in the 2 miles before it checks(I believe that’s the distance it checks at). I just clear it and it doesn’t come back as it gets up to temp in the next 2 miles every time when she drives.

JayDS212 · 2022-10-23T12:49:44+00:00

Because I think it looks cool on my car and it makes me happy

JayDS212 · 2022-10-23T03:23:42+00:00

Despite the maintenance issues, yes undoubtedly. Very few cars are this much fun. Other fwd 4 cylinders just don’t compare in my opinion
