I live on high st. You are literally like 1 minute from the correct socket in my garage. I'll be home at 6pm not sure how late you work. I can drop one off if you want.

Are you a mechanic there? Any idea if you guys can you guys do an internal patch on a 19'' rim 30 series tire? Quicklane across the street said they couldn't.

335xiRacer · 04-17-2014, 02:40 PM

We dont have any patches here unfortunately. We plug all our tires externally. I'm working til 5 today. If I cant make it work Ill let you know. Thanks man!

335xiRacer · 04-17-2014, 05:08 PM

And i need a coil

dwells · 04-17-2014, 05:42 PM

Man, this is just not a good week for my car.

SLOWER · 04-17-2014, 08:35 PM

Is route 3 South serious? Holy shit. Stay in the center lane from the split all the way to Hingham if you are headed down there.

335xiRacer · 04-18-2014, 08:19 AM

Route 3 south always blows the closer you get to 95. Better than 95 south anytime between 6:30-9. Lol

At least you were still on your winters. Roads are terrible right now. The four seasons in MA seem to be Winter, Winter, Winter, and Construction.

New plugs and cylinder 1 coil replaced. Happy car again

335xiRacer · 04-19-2014, 02:36 PM

335xiRacer · 04-19-2014, 10:11 PM

just had mine done, symtoms i had before that have since gone:

Rough idle (still a tiny bit rough, but WAY better)

Lumpy low RPM/high load (highway) acceleration <- this was by far the biggest improvement, its completely gone now

Slow throttle response

Slow spool

And a problem I didnt even realize was the loss of top end power, the car always seemed to run out of "breath" at high rpm, i just thought it was normal.

Best $350 i ever spent on this car.

Probably granny shifting, not double-clutching like he should.

nope! I left late at like 9am but my car has been parked in the driveway all weekend. Mine is Monaco, Wife's is white. Do you ever work weekends? I'll swing by some time. Always nice to meet a local enthusiast.
