Oh, the humanity!

I corrected my post to "after" a couple of hundred of miles. My point is that oil turns dark fairly quickly in its serviceable life and that you cannot accurately determine the condition an oil is just by visual inspection.

I doubt most oils will show a visible visual difference after the first couple of hundred miles and is a poor indicator of the condition of the oil. There would be little color difference between 3k/5k/7k.

I sort of feel the same way when people post about intake and exhausts without a sound/video clip.

Clean E46, welcome to the forum.

Well yeah, that car has been in production for 3 years longer.

Input from @PointByPatrol would probably be some good advice. I don't think that the front bumper airflow is the bottleneck in the cooling department in comparison to the radiator.

What makes you feel that the stock bumper isn't providing sufficient airflow?

I also saw this happen on a GR Corolla.

Imagine a string attached to the bottom/6 o' clock position of your steering wheel and throttle. When the wheel is straight, you have slack in the string and can apply as much throttle as needed. As you turn the wheel, the slack is removed and you can only give it so much throttle until you're...

What makes you think you don't have them? The collision mitigation braking system (CMBS) uses the front sonar system and I believe the cross traffic monitor utilizes the rear sensors when detecting oncoming traffic when in reverse.

Evo 8 ?

Just get enough insurance to do what Chilly613 suggested. I've had a motorcycle stolen within a couple weeks of ownership. Couple of minutes with the cops and insurance and I had a check in hand with no net loss.

100% location dependent. Sounds like you already have anxiety. Get an appropriate amount of insurance coverage and call it a day. Either that or fork out money for long term secure storage.

Impressed by the results with the Eventuri intake, but would be just as satisfied with the results and induction noises from the PRL kit at their price point.

A man of science.

IMO you will see more benefit in refining your driving line, corner entry/exit and backsiding/clipping cones during the slalom versus dialing in tire pressures.

I agree.

As you should be, congratulations!

If that were actually required then Honda would have put that in their maintenance schedule/minder programming to remove liability from damaged engines that had their factory oil fill. There are no reports that I am aware of that have shown that replacing the factory fill early to correlate to...
