Local .org member (alicious) sold them to me for $300 (orginal offer was $400) because of curb rash (that's the least of my worries) and no spacers were required. They're Stocker G35 17 inch wheels w/ Kumho All-Seasons. Originally Posted by augiedog964

And thanks. yeah above the low powerband the car felt brand new but on the way home..anything below 2K rpms it like hesitated to give the car power. above that, it was just begging to be floored
but i didn't want to waste gas and wanted to break the injectors in properly [because the original injectors lasted 235,850 miles]It's just annoying how i have to listen to my mom's crap whenever something goes wrong with the car. She was like, "After we pick it up and it's running ok, anything else that goes wrong with it or you think is going wrong with it, PARK IT because I'm tired of dealing with it. "And because i don't have a job still..that doesn't help me help her on the maintenance fees [$750 for the 3 rear injectors to be replaced]

sounds like an o'ring got ripped while getting the injectors installed. take it back to whomever installed them and let them fix it.
The o ring is letting excess fuel into the engine, and it can't burn it all. Its consuming wayy too much gas.
Also be very careful, as that much fuel can wash the oil off the cylinders. That will wear and gouge the walls and eventually ruin the engine. If your oil smells like gas then its washing down, get it fixed ASAP.

[i got it back at 4:45 but was having a guitar practice session w/ my friend; sorry for not being here promptly 
] no slips/hesistations and a free oil change as an apology for doing the job wrong the first time. I'm going to break these injectors in the right way so i won't be in the left lane traffic for awhile.
as alex_v said,
did you have a chance to check it first?
it may have done no harm in the short time, but methinks he might have been trying to cover his tracks...

this makes me concerned about your mechanic changing your oil...Also be very careful, as that much fuel can wash the oil off the cylinders. That will wear and gouge the walls and eventually ruin the engine. If your oil smells like gas then its washing down, get it fixed ASAP.
