how do you know if your coils are going?


I didn't to be honest. I kept getting multiple cyclender misfire every so often. Then it became down to when i drove into it kept happening in the same area. I replaced the plugs (needed anyways) didn't seem to help any. It was either the wires, packs, or o2 sensors that im aware of that can cause that issue. So I just eliminated them one by one well... not really beings that I did the wires and packs at the same time. Which seemed to fix the issue so far so im happy. Besides they were tune up items IMO so it couldn't hurt to change them out. One less thing I have to worry about.

I had a multiple cylinder misfire.. like a constant one.. my plugs got trashed so I replaced plugs/wires.. and it was perfect. So far my coils are still doin ok.
 
I saw it in the snow for the first time a couple days ago. I even got to scrape ice off the windsheild and everything, it was exciting.
 
haha trust me it is nottt exciting when you have to do it every day, oh and all that salt that is covering my car is awesome too! I love salted winter roads
 
reports from my sources in CT are telling me that they gave up on sanding roads and have moved to salt for this winter >_<

My mom: "my car.. it's all glittery and white, this is awful!"

WHY THE HELL WOULD YOU DO THAT CONNECTICUT?!?!

sand is sooo much better. gives you traction, doesn't rust your car, etc. I'm still searching for a decent local place to get an undercoating done. I need to find a place that won't look at me like I have two heads when I ask if I can tape off my entire exhaust system and my rear sway bar :P
 
LOL.. well today, i set my radio presets because it was my first day with it.. actually thats incorrect, i've had it in my posession for about 4 hours now... LOL
 
well I think technically it was yesterday.. but I ordered a corksport downpipe, new sound-changing inserts for my HKS blow-off valve, and determined what bolts/gaskets/flanges/etc I still need for my oil and coolant connections.

Now I just need to figure out where I'm getting and returning coolant from, as well as what lengths I'll need for all the lines.

Oh and I installed my SLS Performance front motor mount! It was a breeze, took no more than 15 minutes (my 5th front motor mount install on this car haha). It's beautiful, and more importantly seems to work 100% as well as my AWR 70 durometer mount (the SLS is 75) with no noticeable increase in vibrations, actually slightly to the contrary at this point. My stock hood rattles against the top of my grille (and rattles a bit with the latch).. oh wait, it doesn't anymore. sweet :D
