meh, i'd screw it up somehow. I found out some neat crap yesterday, i get 56 miles to the gallon, and discovered the fun way that i can go 0-45 in about 1.5 seconds. (don't know about 0-60, all the freeway onramps are uphill, and the shpped limit on the flat roads is never more than 45 or 50)
i really hate to go up against you on this one BEEF, but i think that bumping it is in this case appropriate, i see no point in starting a new topic every time i wish to say something about my bike. If it is the official position of the authority on these forums that i do so, then i will, but it makes more sense for me to simply use the existing thread.
that said, i am a complete freaking moron. I was faced with some valve clatter, so yesterday i took it open and adjusted my valve clearance, no troubles. However when i went to put the cam cover back on, i twisted off one of the bolts. Now i have bolt shavings in the cam from extracting the broken end, and am using a regular bolt with a brass bushing as a temporary substitute.
so it seems the verdict is that sort of a bump is acceptable.
anywho, i successfully road tested it. There was a slight oil leakage from under the cam-cover gasket, but it sealed up as the gasket heated and expanded into it's proper position, the new bolt works better than i had even dared to hope, so i will be able to last until the dealers open tomorrow and can get the real bolt.
so yeah, bolt arrived lake three days later, that got fixed, then i bent the front suspension a slight bit, got that fixed, and ave since discovered that my zero to sixty is somewhere between 3.5 and 3.8 seconds if i wind it out to ten grand in each gear.
eat that, Porsche.
(sorry about the double post but there is no other way for me to bump this, and i'm not starting a new one because then anyone who didn't read this one woud have to dig it up.)
