Quote: Originally Posted by slow_ti Maybe TSW's? Idk hard to tell | The wheels on my ti are ASA AR1. Small update. I had a little bit of time on Saturday when I wasn't working on customers cars to bring in the M3 and check compression. The results: cyl 1 170 cyl 2 170 cyl 3 170 cyl 4 175 cyl 5 165 cyl 6 165 Not bad considering all cylinders are within 10psi. I started to check leakdown but got pulled away to work on something else. I also had a bit of time yesterday to start pulling some parts out of the M3 that I don't need. | | | 02-15-2012, 01:20 AM | #9 | Senior Member Join Date: Feb 2007 Location: Fl Posts: 1,353 | That's damn good for a 170k mile engine! __________________ SUPPORT 318ti.org!
