NGK R's - Long reach. nothing fancy. Won't break the bank, but are some of the better plugs I've ever used in any of my cars.
 
Morning all and Tony, plugs/coils aren't that bad to do but the coils aint cheap. Do you need to replace the wires? My understanding is that as long as the wires are not showing signs of wear then there is no need to replace them (as told to me by a mechanic).

Sat in a Fiat500 last night....they are bigger on the inside than I imagined. They happen to have a store in the mall close to me and I was talking with the guy a bit and learning more about them. Then he says that he's been driving one for a month and loves it but was skeptical since his dd is Speed6. lol Well, you know where the convo went after that.

Fiat500 isn't cheap tho Jeff, no matter how nice it looks its expensive ....

MSP has water under front passenger carpet ... good thing is summer so i'll be ripping carpet until i see no more water/wet area then replace what is damaged.

Lots of work on MSP this summer ... but it better not be repairing it.
 
Happy Hump day all.

back at you!

more family coming this weekend...it's good and all, but i'll never get everything done i need to this summer...forget the car, i have more projects around the house to do becasue we want to get it on the market next yr....oh well :(
 
Had some fun racing the speed6 last night. I added about 200kg of ballast to the trunk to balance the weight. Engine was stock aside from an ECU but that pesky Dodge Ram still had the power to overtake me on the straight. Granted, the draft in GT5 is a bit extreme...not that a Ram should be able to get any draft...but whatever. It was a fun race. The track has a few sections that remind me of Limerock. The final dip before the last turn is exciting and its hard to get the right entry speed without running wide. On the final lap, I didn't see the S2000 pull alongside me. I kinda muscled him out, but I'd say thats more his fault for trying to make an outside pass on the last turn.
