There designed for Autobahn's rev range does not kick in till around 4k,..... drive it like you stole it... honest !
_ Also I noticed that the spark plugs can be installed with or without the gaskets. Would it work better one way or the other? If the gap on the plugs is longer, will the spark be hotter and increase proformance? To make the gap longer would I need to get a bigger throw coil? I am interested in what little stuff I can do to make the car run better, and this is just another one of the things that has got me thinking.
OEM parts as far as I am aware dont have gaskets, or any kind of wet seal. DONT OVERTIGHTEN, use standard gap, it wrks fine
_ What cool little mods have you guys done to your cars to make them different and IYHO, better? I am also thinking about wireing the empty socket in the back into the brakelights, to make it stand out more. That kind of stuff.
underbody neon lights, blacked out windows, personalised number plates, pumping stereo, k&N air filter, straight through exhaust, turbo-charger, talking alarm.... hows that
