I don't have a background or career in car mechanics, but I know the difference between a turbo and a supercharger, how to change spark plugs, oil, oil filter, time engine, brakes, bleed brake fluid/clutch fluid, etc etc. I'm looking forward to learning and having a lot of fun along the way.
It is a dream to have at this mileage ... yes. Hence why I'm not making any modifications yet. The car has been owned by a driver with a knack for riding the clutch
... so it's not as perfect as 50,000 mile clutch should be [were it taken care of] but it's pretty solid since I've been taking care of it, made adjustments, etc.
I see a lot of people who pretty much see it as MT90 vs Royal Purple, so if anyone has used both and could provide an opinion, that'd be great.
My dad was a fan of Mobil Synthetic since they were the first to come out with a Synthetic oil [ ? ] so that's all I've trusted in any of my cars. But something tells me that the other two are still a step up. [ ? ]
I'm gonna go through all the electrical wiring, [which isn't very clean or nice looking either
] unplug what I can, and clean all the electrical contacts, plug them all back in. Do you guys think it's safe to test the T-Vis by revving to the 4300ish RPM area and checking that it actuates and opens the valves? [In neutral?] Again ... just trying to baby this as much as I can now that it's in my hands.
Pictures due soon ... will absolutely get them by when I install the new air filter. [Cartridge, in the stock assembly.
