Mr. Jones

Dude, go to tire rack, plug in your car, and do some research. The PSS's are a great tire, we are talking summer rubber, not the OEM crappy tires from what, 13 years ago now?

I thought my suggestion was quite clear, but I'll help: MICHELIN PILOT SUPER SPORTS

Oh, and I'm pissed that the ZII & Rival aren't in anything close to my tire size.

Given you aren't likely to autocross/seriously track the car regularly, I'd suggest the Michelin Pilot Super Sports. Great tire, great turn in, great grip, and remarkably great wear. As stated above, beyond that, you'd probably have to provide details on how you plan on burning them off.

Ditto. BD's no matter what I get, every time.

Faster than you :dumb:

That beta hardware is now 100% outdated and replaced. GROCE

groce.

Gotta be a 335. Probably riced out with M badges though.

Nice use of phone while driving bro. :gabe:

That's not constructive, that's just being a dick. Anthony was offering to sell him an item.

Paul the potato. Thought you learned to keep trolling in the appropriate area. I sense some retroactive infractions.

A or B rev camshaft's doesn't really matter much, once the follower wears down it's screwed. All you have to do is keep the follower in good condition, which on a stock pump'd car is easily 25k-30k intervals which isn't much, and it's a $40 part.

Wonderful vid. Especially the area the racing took place in, great spot.

I See you got an M something? Details? :megusta:

Groce.

No 4.0T no care. Great looking car, crappy engine.

The only 2.0T's that eat oil are ones with issues.... Mine is coming up on 140K and doesn't use any between 5K oil changes. And all it does it get driven every day, hard. No bashing, but why do BBF's only last 1 start? :gabe:

I C WUT U DID DER

The 2.0T's are Direct Injection motors. There is a low pressure pump in the fuel tank as usual, but a High Pressure Fuel Pump is driven off the intake cam and supplies the 2000psi+ of fuel pressure to the FSI rail for the injectors. That pump uses what you might call a "flat tappet" design, and is subject to wear. There is a warranty on most fuel pump follower/cam issues till around 110k or so IIRC. Basically the maintenance involves removing the HPFP and replacing the fuel pump follower at regular intervals to prevent cam wear and eventual intake cam replacement. It's not a hard procedure, and isn't much longer than an oil change. Here's a PDF on the procedure which I've been using for years now: http://freepdfhosting.com/8791e81dac.pdf If not taken care of, eventually the fuel pump rod will punch a hole in the follower, then score your cam and eventually break that, which usually causes the cam chain up top to snap and well, ruin everything. Also, FSI/TSI motors are subject to excessive carbon buildup on the back of the intake valves. This tends to affect cars that are driven like a grandma, and short trips. The cars that are driven like a red headed stepchild and for longer periods seem to have less issues in this area. The 1.8T is much simpler in design, and tradition port injected motor. Parts are cheaper ect.

According to the Top 60, you are already faster. I'll need at least a car. :gabe:

I'll need a few spaces due to your displacement advantage. :gabe:
