took me a couple of reads to figure out exactly what you were doing, but it would make sense...

Actually, there is a litle used spark plug trick that makes pretty good power (on certain cars) It's called "indexing". NASCAR swearas by it and you know how picky those guys are about power. Basically what you do is pull out your stock/new plug and with a felt marker mark the side of the plug (on the white part where the electrode is "open". Then screw the plug back into the socket. Mark on the head where the intake charge enters the combustion in relevence to the plug. Look at your two marks. The trick now is to use varying sizes of (a single washer) to close the gap between the marks. What this does is rotate the back of the electrode away from the intake charge. This exposes only the spark to the air/fuel mix as opposed to the mix hitting the electrode and having to ricochet around in the combustion chamber. This alone (on stock copper plugs) made a 4whp gain on my turbo pinto. I wouldn't expect to see as large of a gain on a 2.0L NA motor, but when it comes to extracting power everylittle bit helps.


p.s. If using this trick on a FI motor you may encounter problems with high psi applications. I had a tendancy to actually blow the spark out. This was cured by way of the Jacobs IcePak ignition. Also if you purchase any products from Jacobs ask them about the Indexing washers. They are all ready pre-measured in degree radius' so all you have to do is find the angle you need with a protractor and use the appropriate washer. Takes out all of the trial and error. I believe their indexing set is only about $4.

What 5 bolts are you talking about? The ones that hold the cover on, there are 4 of them, are those the ones? If those are the ones that your talking about then I don't think I would grind them down, i like the cover on there but for events I will take it off so people can see the wires. My car is no trailer queen, I bought my car to drive it, and drive the piss out of it is what I'm doing. I got hit about 1 month after I bought the car, in the rear bumper which I'm fixing myself, still (5 months later). I don't think I'll grind them down though. It does look sweet without the cover though. :)
The 5 across the top of the cover . I took one to my parts store and they matched it up 1/2 inch shorter , there were spacers where the longer bolts were , the new bolts hold down the ground wires that come off the new plug wires. Will take a close up picture tomorow and post.

So, where did the coils actually go?

I'm just wondering 'cause I see the pics above and the wires just kind of go away. Any toher shots?
New bracket just below the oil cap.

your an idiot who knows nothing about nothing, should i go back and bring up some of your posts where you try to "act" like you know what you are talking about and are incorrect you ****** jackass. Obviously you haven't seen the new pictures of my car or you would have realize the graphics are off my car. And whos mom would say "don't worry about it matt, its the same people that think a catback will give you 15whp i bet"
if your mom would say this, she probably has a mullet and lives at a track. and when did i have "racing stickers" because i really don't remember any of those, but seeing how you seem to not know s*** i guess you wouldn't realize the difference anyhow. Hell you thought a stock tsi can spank a gsx in a recent thread, when its the same ******* car you tard.

HAHAHAHAHAHAH (rofl)

Mp5Jeff!!!!! So you admit that you had graphic's on the car. I suppose back then when people didn't like your car and called it (rice). You probably felt stupid!!!! At least when people mod there car, like P5lawnman "he put nology wires and new spark plug's", and not Graphic's design's. So what, it doesn't provide massive hp, or your calling claim of 15whp!!!!!(confused) . BTW: when people sound like a Nagging mom, they would be bitching about everything, not like your stupid post to make you sound so innocent.(pow) Also your probably just like any other moron, who think's a Infiniti G35 is the same car as the Nissan 350Z, or Lexus Is a toyota, or ford is Mazda. If you can read and Comprehend, i stated that the Laser/talon/eclipse has the same (DSM)motor, is the same car but is different in some categories, Like in Performance#'s. A Laser/Talon will run a little quicker time's than the Eclipse will, Due to lighter weight. But it doesn't matter, b/c you can't comprehend so i'm not even gonna waste my time on your we-todd-did post's. LOL just like about the WRX and MSP thread(smash)

i think those posts i made are being somewhat productive, trying to show that dyno results will differ and if stock wires are s*** then you will get gains..

i would reply to this "post", but none of it makes any ******* sense at all. Show me one post of someone calling my car rice and being serious...thats all i can really reply to, the rest of you post just doesn't make sense. im sure im not the only one who can't understand your rambling.
 
triton, look at your sig, that explains alot about your personality...im done with you, you are a waste of everyones time on the website.

such a huge difference in weight, have you ever seen both cars side by side? probably not because you are a huge *** homo that cant admit to being wrong. Both cars are exactly the same inside and out, the interior of a TSI is the exact same as a GSX,
there is no possible way that a difference of 128lbs can make that HUGE of a difference, I bet your fat stupid head would cause your sh*tbox TSI to run slower than a ******* metro, get off your high horse, go run and cry to mommy, NOBODY WANTS TO READ YOUR s***
 
haha oh s***, aric brought out the info on you triton? im sure he will come up with some way to dodge it and "act" like he knows everything again.

the reason it doesn't make any sense to you is b/c, you can't Comprehend anything. BTW: I would go back to all the thread's about your car when it was N/A with graphic's but that's just wasting space in this thread to prove i'm right.(lol) BTW: either it doens't make any sense to you is b/c:

1. you can't comprehend
2. You don't wanna admit you are wrong
3. You don't wanna look stupid.
