I did it with a buddy of mine, he was nice and didn't charge me because all he did was supply the "feeler gauge", oh fo sho!


p.s. I heard Dallis uses the "feeler gauge" for other uses besides his 7thgen

The dealer quoted me back when I had 30,XXX miles, around $100 + to do it. You don't even need to do it until you're in the higher miles anyways unless you beat on your ride hard then I'd suggest doing it a lot sooner. I only had to adjust 4 valves, slightly! I have the instructions and the knowledge now, so if anybody would like to do this I am here to help

Yeah of course, I am totally stock right now and I raced Dallis from a dig last night(he has a header,dowpipe,no cat, and exhaust) and I still pulled on him by 2 car lengths so you decide..........................



j/k I really haven't had a chance to see if my car was running any better, then again I take care of my engine and I've never really beat the **** out of it like others have soooo. I just took it to the shop today, getting the axle fixed UNDER WARRANTY I will holla at cha Matt when I actually get to drive my car again, been almost 3 weeks without my car !!!!!
