Updated my original post, but the new plugs did a bit of good!:
Old Platinum plugs: 22.8 MPG
New copper plugs: 25.0 MPG Not bad!

parked it on the lawn because we're getting our whole driveway torn out and repaved, the ti's too low to clear the slope going from the lawn to the road so I'll be driving the track rat around town and scaring old ladies  | | | | | 08-10-2010, 05:21 AM | #513 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jul 2007 Location: norcal - 94590 Posts: 3,186 |
Loaned it to my sister (Yikes!!!!)... She promised(!) to take good care of it. Her POS Volvo 850glt won't pass smog, so it's in the shop for a few days.
She had the car not 10 minutes and I get a text "wow, your car doesn't like speed bumps"

Getting my fenders ROLLED!!! Woohoo! | | | | | 08-11-2010, 01:56 PM | #524 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2004 Location: Sydney, Australia Posts: 593 |

On another note, I pulled out my old track tires, took them to the local petrol station and put some air into them. They haven't been used so long they only had 6 PSI in them. Does anyone know if tires have expiry date? These track tires have about 70-80% tread left on them and they're about 8 years old. The rubber is still soft. | | | | | 08-11-2010, 02:16 PM | #525 | | Moderator Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: Bouncing off the rev limiter in CT! Posts: 3,156 |
Tires DO expire. Not sure of their life; however that has a lot to do with storage methods as well as simple age.
