haha. and ouch

.... i may only be 16 but i have done ALOT of mechanical work. this is my first German car that iam digging around under the hood on. the damn thing didnt even run when i got it. much less have working brakes, cooling system, nice tight suspension..... to me (after what i have done to the car) this is getting into the details. now to explain the wires... that was the only way they would reach the spark plugs. i bought them a LONG time ago from Kingsborne and i dont have the order slip anymore so i couldnt return them. so i figured i would make due. they arent touching anything that moves so dont worry about that. i was planning on taking them off and putting the OE back on since i think the wire that goes from the distributor to the ignition coil has gone bad from sitting in my closet waiting on the 928 to get to my house.SOOOOO.... i understand what you guys are doing and thinking and feeling and i would feel the same way if i was older and more experienced and had a kid come asking me stupid questions on a car that iam very passionate about. but please understand..... iam a young kid, but i dont build or work on cars like one. here is a list of my previous projects. ALL OF THESE WERE BUILT, MAINTAINED, RESTORED BY ME call me a lier but i know what i have done and accomplished.
First off 1923 Ford Model T-bucket fiberglass replica. Ford 302 small block with a BDS 6-71 blower. all aluminum frame and block. 6-71 blower pushing 18psi down its throat. full mallory ignition c6 trans. custom 22.0psi meth injection system. posi lock rear end blah blah blah............ i built this car from ground up. bought a frame and started from there. assembled the motor at a local garage that had the necessary tools and equipment.

(only pic so far..)
2004 VW R32
(no pics) 1969 VW Mires Minks with a Porsche 914-6 motor.
(no pics) a friends 1991 DeTomaso Pantera with a 351 Cleveland rebuild.
i have some experience. not like you guys', but i think its worthy of answers from people who know what there talking about.
ill put the OE wires back in and see if it doesnt fix it.
