On the upside car is going to Des on Saturday (please dont rain!!!!!). I took it in on Sunday just for him to have a look and he polished a section of the bonnet just to show me how it would look, I believe he was quite excited himself and the word "PORN" was used quite a bit. Apparently the finish will be like a riverbed. Photo shoot set for sunday weather permitting - anybody intereseted??D Riverbed? Dry with a cracked surface, or a silty murky finish like the Swan river? Edited 04/08/09 01:43 PM by xr6t ego

Check your service guide but im pretty sure they interval is 80k (thats why the plugs are expensive)Personally i would change them the day after they stay to go south. Normally a popping lumpy idle is a give away.

Normally a popping lumpy idle is a give away. A popping lumpy idle is not always plugs though Other performance hardware and tuning also play a big part :-)Edit: what plugs does Simon use these days? Is he still using the LPG 0.7 gapped items? Edited 05/08/09 02:00 AM by IH8TOADS
