^ pm sent

In another, similar vein, while checking out some very rural properties in PA this past weekend, came across some very entertaining, windy, twisty, hilly back roads that made for a good time. With the weight, size and the off-road focused tires, you'll never confuse the RR for a sports car but put the suspension in the "sport" mode and you can have a surprisingly good time on these types of roads. Plus, you can enjoy it at much lower (read "safer") speeds than hitting the same roads in something like my previous toy, the GT350. And the big benefit of not worrying if the road conditions change:

To service again yesterday at 35,000. The usual oil and filter, tire rotation and mileage checks/service. Also had the induction service done again. Would love to be able to see inside the cylinder heads and check the valves on mine vs one that has not had the induction service at all.


Edit: just after writing this ^, I see this guy talking about the taking a look before and after the service:

Thanks Dave... good find!

How old is the video?
I was hoping to see the "after" results.
He said about a week until the next video, so if this is really recent, I look forward to it.
Has he made the other video yet?
I couldn't find it.

Not yet. He posted it here this weekend.

What Pablo said, he just did this one, I expect the "after" will be around the weekend

I wonder if a dyno result before after would show any difference, or a fuel consumption before after?
I would assume extremely minimal if even noticable.

I look forward to his next videos.
