Anyone interested in having theirs sanded and cleared, let me know.



Looks pretty sweet! How much are we talking for a sand and a clear?

G2FLIP4 mentioned that he sanded and cleared his headlights and then inquired if anyone else was interested in getting their's done. Mine look awful, so I'm responding to the inquiry.

you can but technically consumption was only on REVUP's and non-revups didnt really have the issue..you could ask them and see what they say.

you could be burning oil because of bad valve covers and tube seals...easily checked by pulling out ignition coils and see if you have OIL on the ends of the ignition coil. If you do then your seals are going bad.

checked the tube seals they are fine. Some very minor leaks coming from valve cover seal. Noticed the car smoking when I downshifted to 5th gear and floored it. I have yet to do a compression test or leak down test to see if it is indeed the rings. (which i am pretty sure it is).

Thanks so much to Chris (g35man). Seriously he helped me out so much today. I went to buy some O2 sensors from him but for some reason they don't fit my car. Not many would have gone farther than that, but he called up some ppl and figured out I have HR sensors for some reason and drove me to go pick some up and hooked me up with a discount on the sensors and then some. One of the best G members on this forum and we are lucky to have such a cool guy local to us. This isn't the first time he's helped me out either. Thanks bud
