How do I protect my car from coronavirus?

stewbets · 03-11-2020, 02:38 PM

I've heard people recommending cleaning your coils and injectors everyday. Other people say to change your intake filters once a week. And some people say it's all just a hoax. I don't know who to trust! Can somebody set me straight on how to protect my car from coronavirus???

No, sir, you are doomed!

Stop exchanging bodily fluids with it

ZNITE · 03-11-2020, 05:01 PM

Put a N95 mask on the front grill?...lol...just kidding

I heard stuffing the intake so that no air goes through works wonders.

Sound logic.

If you add a quart or two of methanol to your oil, it should solve most of the issues you're concerned about.

What you actually ment was ethanol, especially a Corona. From what I heard a Corona a night keeps the coronavirus a fright.

studio54 · 03-12-2020, 01:27 AM

It's a bit costly but i do recommend to replace tires after each trip.

streetpro · 03-12-2020, 03:22 AM

Just put on the N55 plastic valve cover and Corona wont touch it .-)

Tambohamilton · 03-12-2020, 03:44 AM

Fill it with toilet paper and hand sanitiser...

cortez08 · 03-12-2020, 06:37 AM

Open the oil cap and throw a few limes in the valve cover chamber and all will be fine.

relative4 · 03-12-2020, 07:35 AM

Burn the car and dump it in the ocean. Only way to be sure.

b92 · 03-12-2020, 08:26 AM

Anyone know how much hand sanitizer our stock injectors can withstand? Or do I need to go with port injection?

ZNITE · 03-12-2020, 08:59 AM

CORONA VIRUS this time,Next DOS XX VIRUS !!...time to hoard the Lime and Salt !!!

stewbets · 03-12-2020, 11:29 AM

I'm beginning to think some of this advice is not sincere.

Lol,

Nutters going crazy panic buying all the toilet rolls and hand sanitisers in supermarkets.

Social distancing. Shouldn't be a problem for N54's because they are always broken down in the garage.
