The other gentleman that joined us has G3 intakes. He wasn't able to pull the intakes out of the way very well, and considered leaving them in to clean them. But after seeing how dirty the back side of Tracie's TBs were, he went ahead and removed the upper intake tube and the entire throttle body for cleaning.

I have noticed a more stable idle in the 100 miles I've put on it today; time will tell. On the advice of a Master Land Rover mechanic, I went ahead and got real heavy on the throttle during the relearn period. I swear the throttle response is much quicker on and off now (placebo?).

Before and after pics attached. Actually my OCD got this one even cleaner after the photo was taken.

Speaking of work, my "temporary retirement" comes to an end tomorrow morning. I start my new job literally around the corner from my old office, so I still have a 7 mile commute which is unheard of in Houston.

Since I found a job before my severance money ran out, I did the American thing and bought a new daily driver! Picked up a new 2014 Mini Countryman.

Drove the Z to a brunch meet yesterday and loved every minute of it.

Have a great upcoming week all.

Congrats!

My 3 week vacation comes to an end tomorrow at 5am.

I go back for 2 weeks, then off for 2 weeks. It's going to be a long 2 weeks.
