definetly check if youve got a boost leak / exhaust leak / vaccum leak / or maybe even change out the plugs / check tire pressure.. just to name a few.
hahaha dude its soooo easy
how far you have gone divided by how many gallons it took you to fill up
if i went 400 miles and took 14 gallons to fill up id get 28.5mpg
also make a fuelly so you can keep track of all of your fill ups

oh and im going to be washing/waxing and changing the oil in the 6i
and then maybe my dad will let me drive his car idk. i may take video of me driving the stick again.
So yesterday after work i take my car in for a post-track alignment, only to find out i have a BENT MUTHERF#%King WHEEL!!!
FML right? so all my weekend plans are shot to hell.
Having to hunt down a used OEM speed6 rim. private sellers are only selling in sets of 4.
and a shop that deals in used OEM wheels has em but not nearly as cheap as a private seller. i can get 4 for $300, or ONE for $225. Biggest dilemna being i need it asap as its my daily driver, and do NOT want to destroy my new tires or risk the lugs being worked off their threads. So i cant wait for a new 4 set to be delivered from a private sale, and the only local sale i found is pending being sold. FML again right?
*sigh* i dont think i will be tracking my DD again. over $2k in track prep, $1.5k more than i planned. $300 weekend for room/food/gas. a room of which i didnt see a penny of reimbersment from those that "split" the room with me (3 others with me), and now a bent RIM i have to replace... then alignment/balance/camber adjustment.
FML 3x. im beyond poor right now. luckily the mod or two i had planned on, has money set aside for... might turn into food money.
sorry i had to vent.

Bricks, i s*** them. LOL!!! sounds like i might as well get an AP JUST for mileage. i plan to keep this car long term, so mileage saving ... it could pay itself off in just under 2 years!!
holy potatoes!

Same here. There are very few trips I can make anywhere in the mountains here in VA and have all highway miles. Which kind of sucks but oh well.

^^exactly why I bought a new DD. In the mean time the ms6 has been enjoying this time off.
I do need to get new summer tires for it though, what do you have on it now?

do you think your spin out caused that?? id like to see a picture of the rim once its off the car and you got the new one on.
im thinking it was because of the spin out you had..
im thinking it was because of the spin out you had..
yes most likely the spin-out.
the way it was bent looked like it too. It pretty much reflects expected dmgs...
the inside lip caught the edge of the track as my car slide back onto pavement; side-ways.
Also, im sure it didnt help that the freeway on-ramp we took from the race-track like 4 times had this giant step where they were re-asphalting. we hit it HARD every time, 4 guys in the car along with coolers full of drinks, tools & chairs.

Bought a set of Yokohama Advan Sports in 225/45-18 for the new wheels. Got them from tires-easy.com, $600 shipped for 4. Not sure if they were on close out or what but I'm not complaining. They have the same tread wear rating as the stockers did so we'll see how many miles I get out of them.
yup my dad has had it since october of 06. lol
remember a few months ago you commented on a kids video who was driving a ms6?? that would be me lol
