You derailed the living daylights out of the thread by calling attention to yourself. Some refer to this as trolling.

What in God's name does racing have to do with a wax based thermostat that quit after 7 years, and 125K miles? It was well beyond it's normal life span. Obviously, you know nothing about how a car's cooling system works, if you think that racing is inversely related to thermostat lifespan. Honestly, I'd shudder to know what you think about the aging of rod bearings.

You know NOTHING about my finances guy. It's you who bought a used Luxury sports car that you can't afford, thus you do all the work on the car. I've read your recent advise to the potential buyer about the M3 affordability, and laughed. Seriously, end your personal recession, and please contribute to the economy, and have your vehicle properly serviced by techs, who know the proper procedure for diagnosing rod bearing issues. You'll never guess, that it does not involve ripping into your car, to do a swap.

Prove that you've driven your car at the track. You don't have any posts in the track section. Your car is supercharged, and lives in the garage. You bought your car before me. If you're daily driven, you should be at or above 100K by now, but you're barely above 50K. Liar
