Meth vs Warranty

AlexMac@Alpine · 07-16-2010, 10:13 AM

Hey guys,
Well ive been saving up to do an overhaul on the car. I sold everything I had on the car and went back to stock because I thought I was leaving the country, turns out I got a great job locally and I will be staying.

So my question is, I know that i can hide the tune (jb3) when i go to the dealership, I know that Intercoolers are usually not looked at or overseen, but what about Meth? I would do the install which uses the windshield washer tank but would I have to take the pump out and all the hosing if i were to bring it in?

Please let me know if anyone has any experience with this. Thanks guys

Ok... Like the answer for every other modification. If they deem the modification to be the cause of the problem warranty voided. If they say that mod cause problem and you k ow it didn't sue them.

It would suck if they topped up your "washer fluid" wouldn't it? Maybe they won't see it, but you take the chance of getting caught even if you remove the pump etc. I'm sure others have done it.

I thought straight winsheild washer fluid contains alcohol its like 40%. iguess the ammonia will kill the engine.

If they find meth they'll almost certainly void the warranty (I can't really blame them).

That said, check out Mr. 5's methanol setup. That's as close to "undetectable" as you'll find.

^ ahah yes I do.

I will check Mr. 5's set up see what I can do.

... And yes that would suck if they topped up the windshield washer fluid. Knowing BMW service at my local place, I wont have to worry about them doing something nice like that.

Alex, did you pull the trigger? I'm thinking of doing the same.

it actually wouldn't suck all that bad. You can run a meth setup off of actually washer fluid so it wouldn't hurt anything!

AlexMac@Alpine · 08-10-2010, 11:24 PM

I didnt pull the trigger on this yet. Im not really at the point to get meth yet but I wanted to look into it just incase. Im looking to do a bunch of mods real soon.
