thanks

 

Done. No knock at any REV.

 

I really appreciate you doing this and being honest. However it has to be done under load. No car will ping in neutral even with the pedal to the floor and at redline. Have you tried it while driving and under heavy throttle?

 

No and I doubt he will let me take it with me as that piece of equipment is a bit pricey.

 

That's fine, we can call it a wash. I get nervous taking my friend's Snap-on too since it's nearly a month's pay.

If anyone wants, I may take some snapshots of my base model on different octanes on the scanner....or maybe I'll save it for a different thread.

 

Congrats on your replacement type s, hope you have good luck with it and get to enjoy. Nothing but snow, slop, and cold here. I would have bought a kbp hind sight but love my car none the less and I have had plenty cars. It is paid off this month so most likely some type s rims and I'm calling it a day no more new cars for a while.

 

I think it would be worth it to split the "pinging" posts from the existing "Valve Chatter" thread and start a whole new thread in the Problems and Fixes forum.

I, for one, would be interested in seeing the readings. I had my car in for a road test last Fall and the tech brought along his scanner and confirmed the ping at WOT. For sure the car has to be under load in order to record the condition. Of course, it's cold here now so my car doesn't aseem to be pinging at all. I'm going to actively pursue this issue in the Spring.

 

you should get the type-s, with low miles.

 

I think I Hate Cars is right...Just the other day my car was idleing in the garage & I was impressed how smooth and quiet the engine sounded. Then yesterday I was slowly pulling into a parking spot in a quiet spot & I heard a little ping. I run on 93 octane always.
