LOL. If that's real, I hope she got on the show.
If she was smart, I hope she staged that so she could get on the show. Seems to me getting your car booted, then driving out of it while leaving the audition for "Bad Girls Club" is a sure way to be cast

quick questions:
I have driven plenty of turbo cars but never owned one for a long period of time until 335. I started to notice all the little differences between test driving and DD for 2 years in terms of driving feel and performance.
Is it normal for a Turbo car to have inconsistent acceleration? What i mean is sometimes I like to downshift to 3rd at 60mph when there is no cars around me just for the fun and I'd smile all the way to 110. But sometimes, the acceleration feels so different that made me even think the Turbo is not even spinning. (sluggish)

Also, have you checked your engine air filter lately?

I'd definitely check that.
But if you're saying one minute the acceleration feels fine and the next minute it is sluggish, it may be something else.

^if nothing is leaking, then it's heat soak.
Chapter Leader (Southern Region)
Could be a leak, but his power loss would be all the time, not just sometimes. With the parallel turbos running right under the exhaust manifold, and that tiny intercooler.. My guess would be heat soak. Pretty common.

BTW, I live in a noticeably hotter place than him and haven't had any symptoms like his on my N54.

Do you commute far and in heavy traffic?
Chapter Leader (Southern Region)
If I owned either, I'd get a big ass FMIC, cold air intake, oil cooler, aftermarket charge pipe and diverter, run some injector cleaner and get a vented hood.

As much as i like EB Accord, i just can't see myself getting a Domestic car just yet. Just personal preference.
If Q60S is what i think it would be, my next car will be either that or F30 340.

And tough decisions when buying a car is a good thing.

i have no doubt that Ford Accord is a great car, i actually drool over its looks when i see it on the FWy.
But my yellowness is stronger than my reasoning. you know what i mean?
