thank you all.... Glenn6one9, yeah she's been through quite a bit. She's a champ though 
Btw tomorrow I will be going to Apex Go Kart track for 2-3 hours of fun time. Not a big track but still has free timing and its fun to learn the car. I learned how to use the whole track at Apex since its so small LOL. Here is a pic with my m3. Will post pics of Shona when I do some sliding haha

More updates since the I didn't have any cars to detail today...well. My buddy with his beasty 800+hp S asked if i could detail his daily driver for him. We decided we will trade detail work for a valve adjustment and compression check.
YES!! THAT TURBO IS MASSIVE!! And yeah that's what she said
Compression check done and numbers turned out to be. 241...234...234...227. Kind of low on one of them but still not bad. The valve adjustment on the other hand was pretty off according to Anthony. "If I had to describe Aahlee's valvetrain before I touched it I would have I say it was a mix of tight virgins and loose well seasoned hookers at Vegas.".. After it was done, I was totally amazed at how much smoother and quicker the car felt.
to a valve adjustment done right!!

Haven't seen this thread in a long time. I have to edit a few things and add some more pics of the car soon once I clear things up a bit and find some free time.
Awesome job man! I have a question. Was the compression test done before or after the valve adjustment? Also does having your valves out of spec affect the compression measurements?
I have no idea. I don't remember off the top of my head and I am not sure if he even did a check before he did it. It is 1SlowSi here on the forums. Hopefully he can chime in.
