SPARKIES!!!! finally this weekend I SWEAR!

Guys with access to VIDAS or whatever it is....it's friday, it's almost eleven, and I STILL haven't had my tea! gahh! I've gone stupid.

What's the gapping spec? I am trying to remember is it .6?

(anyone unfamiliar with Christine, she's a 98 s70 t5)

After last weekend I'd assume you're still seeing sparks.

OE-spec gap for stock plugs on a T5 is 0.28 according to a quick google search.

0.28? hm total non ringing of bells. blergh this is why I double check with you guys.

That's bigger and 1/4". He means .028".

I don't know if that's the right spec but that's what he was going for.

.28 is the standard gap for HIDz equipped cars. It's high performance, and high intensity. Gotta be careful, it'll strip off your tintz with all the power it makes.

Watch out for rimz and tintz, the Pegs won't be far behind.

but uh, 1. I just have comets, 2. I haz no tints 3. I haz no pegs.

Jesse's the vs-esque one

But he has PRIMER!!!! OMG, VS people would shit themselves if they were seen in public with primer!

I think we got the gap issue figured out already, .028 inches is about equal to .7 millimeters.

Good luck with it Proie, holler anytime if you get stuck.

Have you done this yet? It takes about 10 minutes to change 5 plugs!

Or do we have to come up there and do it for you?

Ok really Kat, wtf?




Just kidding. I have had the plugs for my GMC in the console since the day after I bought it. 4000 miles ago.

Why do we have Maintenance and non performance.

Srsly, let sjust have volvo OT

lol Ni, cause I had to get zee sexy tools!

and now I need....some sort of grease? and some sort of unsticking stuff? (yeah I'll go rtfm later)

How long has it been that you needed to change the plugs?

How long?

umm...been about a year....

A whole Y-E-A-R on bad plugs !? Sure the missing tool thing was not just an excuse ?

Reminder to Kat - CHANGE PLUGS

So you didn't do it last weekend? Will you do it this weekend?

It's seriously like 30 minutes to do this!

and thats going slow!

when my old S70 was having problems with misfires, i could take out a whole set of plugs (including plug cover thing) in like 10 minutes. if that.

So, it's Monday.... new plugs?

Sparkies?
