Handy_Andy's Mini Meets

How bad was the driver's side in terms of oil leaking through the o-rings? The passenger side was the only one leaking so there was a pool of oil in the spark plug well.

Andy got to find out how fast a FX45 drinks gasoline vs. a FX35=) My FX45 is thirsty!
There just a little in the fourth plug. It must have just started to leak. I stick a small rag into the well without removing the plug and I was able to clean it all out. I also clean the throttle body too. Not too dirty. No CEL light or erratic rpm after throttle body cleaning :smile (2):

Tell me about the 45 drinks gas. It was like you have a leak in the line somewhere when comparing to a 35.

I'm sure he did, haha. I spotted him yesterday on my way home from the polishing shop. :hahaha:
Yeah, that was a nice surprise. You did spotted me cruising in Ed's.
Not a fix Tim.

Did you touch the butterfly Andy?
Yeah, open, hold, spray with throttle body cleaner and then let it down gently.

Thanks for cleaning throttle body Andy=)

Andrew, did you notice a big difference in gas consumption going from your FX35 to FX45?
 
Looks great! I wish you would paint your lower moldings though. Would tie in so nicely with the front bumper in my opinion.

I think we need a photoshop...

Computer wise maybe like 1-2 mpg at most. The average was around 17.1 on the 35 and now around 15.5 mpg on the 45 and I have a semi-heavy foot. I hope it goes up a tad after doing the e-fan mod this weekend!
 
Well, what I heard was thinner air up high tends to make the mind less effective :smile (2):

LMAO Andy.. However, the one too many hits to the head might have contributed a bit.. Can't go against Iron Fist :-)
