What have you done to your MSP today?

[theEZV]

got the ignition coils today. waiting on ngk wires

 

[mildsalsa]

not rust,, thats burn crap!

 

[Wagonbacker9]

it is "normal" but is an indication that changing is probably a good idea.

Also, a lot of members have had issues with iridium plugs. You might want to switch to platinum and see if it works better for you.

 

[mildsalsa]

i went with the v-power copper plugs

 

[TheDirtyGoatee]

I use QT gas for the most part. Never really had a problem... except that I paid 2.99 per gal today! Almost ******* 40 bucks.

Also, I found a way to mount my tripod on my passenger headrest using zip-ties. Videos to come soon.

 

[mildsalsa]

lol i put my p&s camera inbetween the adjustable headrest and the seat itself... kinda sandwich it in there

 

[Laser Blue]

Iridium's ...nice. One of my spark plugs had a little rust color like those, is that normal?

Well, he has it on two out of four plugs, so I'd say its halfway normal...lol.

I had it on #3 on my last switch. curious to see how my duralast double platinum NGK "equivalents" do...

 

[Laser Blue]

Actually, I had it on #'s 2 & 3 at my last change. I guess maybe they burn a little hotter.

 

[Ricktalife]

I got the V-power's as well. Can't beat a quality name and performance for the great price!

Stock heatrange or one step colder?

 

[mildsalsa]

step colder... heading into the 10psi range

So here's a noob question. I'm confused on the difference between coil packs and spark plug wires. I am looking to replace them with some nice bright blue one's not only because they are sexy, but also because I am trying to "tune up" the car since it is 7 years old lol.

Put in a new battery last night.

Looks like my car is leaking alittle bit of oil. There is a rubber hose on the oil return line(Turbo-to-oilpan) that is probably not good anymore. Are there suppose to be some clamps on that hose? I think the guy that worked on my car forgot to put clamps back on. I put a worm clamp on it and its barely doing the job. Keeps coimg loose and oil sneaks through.

Cylinders 1 & 3 (Is that right? 4 is farthest to the passenger side, right?? lol) are fired from the coilpacks, and then cylinders 2 & 4 (respectively) are "piggy backed" and triggered/controlled by the coil packs on 1 & 3.
