nice....did you feel like the idle is smooth?...i felt that on mine...i just installed NGK v-power plugs also....i want to see what kind of gains i got....anyways nice install.

[mushroom_toy]

Thank you, yeah my idle definitely feels different. I guess I need to open up the gap on my plugs a little though. Only drove it a little bit tonight though, after install so I guess I'll see tomorrow. I think I might have a little clearance issue but I can't tell. Doesn't seem like anythings hitting....but hood is a little harder to close. Who knows.

cool bro! more pics of ur whip would be nice too!

[mushroom_toy]

They're coming, but I have to warn you...the pics in my sig may look nice, but it's just a daily driver so it isn't that great. Right now I'm in winter/want meshies mode!

[Cheeseburger]

its all good!

[mkymonkey]

that was one of my first mods too

it looks sweet in there

[mushroom_toy]

XD Thanks lol. After I write a freaking research paper tomorrow, I'll probably end up getting some paint/dress up for the engine. Maybe do a little cleaning as well.

good choice on the replacement coil. i replaced mine with an MSD blaster 2. has kept my engine running nice, smooth and clean. also keep my spark plugs from wearing i've noticed, but then again i gapped them .006 over, so maybe thats why they stay nice?

[mushroom_toy]

Yeah I'm not quite sure how much I want to regap mine at yet, but I think about .002 over maybe.

[HondaBoy]

stock gap is recommended at .044, i did mine at .050 and had the least wear on the plugs that i've ever seen.

[mushroom_toy]

Yeah like I said I was thinking of .046 or maybe .047, not sure how that will affect anything as of yet though.

[HondaBoy]

should prolong your plug life and not burn the electrode up as much. thats what i've observed after doing so.

[russiankid]

Looks nice, clearence with that doesnt seem like an issue because if it was you would notice marks on the coil where the hood would hit.

[mushroom_toy]

^ Yeah that's what I was thinking last night. I thought that the hood was hitting the mounting bracket, but I guess I was just seeing things last night. I'm gonne check into it a little better today, after I finish my research paper and such.

You might have moved somthing out of place or hit it while working under the hood, i would just check anything possible that could hit the hood when it's closed.

Actually I went over that time and time again last night. I just said since it's ot broken...I'm not gonna fix it. If it gets even harder to shut, then I'll look into it, but it's not so bad right now I guess.

looks good, that was one of my first upgrades i did and i say its well worth the money, nicer idle and i noticed it to be a little more responsive, i dint even ajust my gap, looks good though

I adjusted mine a little bit, about .002 over. Didn't notice any improvement though, so I'm just gonna leave em that way.

[speedpenguin]

Nice little upgrade, there! Should be far more attractive than your tired out old unit.

[mushroom_toy]

^Indeed.

[Cheeseburger]

i need to get one of those.

[mushroom_toy]

^Good stuff. Also working on engine grounds too, but only got 1 or 2 done.
