I do it in the safest way possible. I know my limits. Your previous posts showed little caution so don't try and get loud with me, whether you were joking or not. If your gonna 'joke' around with someone make it obvious.

No back to your Mazdarati.

Ok, so you do it safely and everyone else is reckless? And how did I seem "unsafe", better yet how can you say that without ever having seen me drive? I don't fling around in traffic, I don't speed excessively even when I am in a hurry, I never drink and drive, and when I do push my car I never do it to the limit or with others around. Why don't you PM me because I'm not happy that you of all people would try to put me in a remotely similar group as street racers and I want to get it cleared away.

Nvm, I can't argue with you. Your not getting the point I'm trying to make. Back to your car.

Alex, gap the new plugs to .30 and use those instead of the Bosch.

Kevin, I know from experience that if Alex does race someone, he doesn't act like an idiot doing it i.e. weaving in and out of traffic.

I am on CR.net but I found its mostly for N/A cars, and the NA body in that respect. M.net guys were unable to help me diagnose the issue, I don't know how justinlansdale managed to come up with the solution.

What type of plugs are you using? I had some serious misfire issues too. I fixed it by ditching my irridiums and going back to coppers gapped at .28. But then again I'm running over 20psi. But still...might help for you also.

Irridiums are good plugs if you gap them down. They just break very easily when u gap them and they foul rather quickly.

[Kevin]

NGK copper spark plugs are the best for turbo cars. From my personal experience. Iridiums and platinums suck.

[TurboTagTeam]

Irridiums are awesome if you can pull down the gap without breaking the electrode. They do foul easier than copper plugs though.

[Kevin]

.28 -.31 on a NGK copper plug is nice too

CN likes to argue....dont u guys know this by now?

Will I be OK using iridiums in gapped at .030

You had them in there for 40k prior to the Bosch, so I don't see why not.

m.net has a section for the speed man.

Which is basically a dead section ...I have posted in there before though.

What kind of tires are you running right now, I am having a hard time deciding. I would like to put new ones on in the Spring, something awesome, but Id like to make up my mind now so I can get them over the winter if there is a sale.

Probably...if your blowing the spark out then gap them down. If not, then you're fine.

If I could I would run 15 or 16 but I've got some pretty nice looking 17s which are hella strong to boot, so I'm not throwing them away so to speak, unless I can find a stellar deal on something else.

i know a lot of guys running 15s and 16s on their speed. They sell their racing harts and use that money to get other wheels. i know in cali a lot of the honda owners use those racing harts.

What model Racing Hart is it anyway? I never saw them on any other cars. They are nice wheels, I wouldn't want to get rid of them. If I wanted track tires, I would just buy a 2nd set of wheels specifically for them anyway, would be much easier to change 4 wheels than 4 tires every time I went to race.
