Health Checkup

Just checked the basic vital signs of my car. 43,000 miles on the clock. With roughly 50lbs of nitrous run thru the engine.

My BKR7E's look good, they're showing signs that I'm running slightly lean, but they look good nonetheless.

I did a cylinder compression test too, all four cylinders were identical. 110psi on the first pump, 150 on the second and 190psi on the third. All 4 cylinders show exactly 190psi.

Last but not least there's no coolant in the oil, and no suspicious smoke/haze out the exhaust.

I'd say my car is in perfect running shape

That should do the trick then. Your gas tank is about 20 bucks lower than it should be thanks to the wrx.

Yea I figured as much. If you were able to set up a race then you should be able to find him again. Dont know what the hell that guy was thinking.

LOL. Auto is def FTW in drags if youve got power to push it. I dont know why people find that so hard to believe. If I were strictly dragging with V8s It would be auto all the way... As for the grocery getter that is definitely a shot to the nuts.

...but is there oil in the coolant? Did you ever look into that?
