Never heard of horror stories with this, so long as its used for its proper purpose.

Not for AFM filament I don't think.

It's so powerfully effective, it's been known to take grime off wheels that nothing else could remove.

It was always used at every service on my Subie Foz XT down the piping. Recommend!

If you read the directions on the can, it stipulates to spray half of the contents into the inlet manifold while the motor is off and to wait 10-15mins before starting so it can do it's thing. Then, when it eventually starts, it will take some cranking to get it going, speed the motor up to 2000-2500rpm and spray the rest of the contents on and off letting the motor breath. The revs will drop as the nozzle on the can is depressed.

Any Success/Horror stories?

Lawwwwllz. Yes.

I was spraying the straw into one of the ports on the plenum and the vacuum sucked the straw right off and right into the runners.

After trying madly to get it out with a grabber tool, I only ended pushing it further in.

I eventually gave up and ran it through the engine.

That was a few years back and I never think it did any damage.

Moral of the story: attach some thin pvc tube or similar to the nozzle. That way you can always keep the can upright, and the straw wont get sucked through the tube.

Good shart, but beware, if you leave it for too lone it will start to eat gaskets and goos. Also, don't use on rb26's per throttle body as it eats the thin film of silicon that seals the butterflies. You have been warned.

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn
