she drives agressive, but not reckless, I think its a case of bad luck then poor driving. It was raining pretty bad, and the situation she was in, would lead her to do the same thing if she had to do it over again. Hense why I am not so angry. I already accept in life that **** happens, just the way it is. The guy was found speeding so the accident actually has shifted from her fault to no fault due to two witnesses

just after finding out that she had wrecked your car 2 times in a month i was watching drifting videos on youtube and came across videos of horrible women drivers and thought it was funny, just for the fact that she had 2 accidents (her fault or not) and they have all these videos on how bad women drive on youtube.

we have had the car for about a year now, and only had problems now. I think to be honest, its my luck, not her driving. I mean, installing a rear bumper bodykit and some kid just happens to rear end it, in less then a week? And more recently, right when I was about to beta test a new product is when my front end gets creamed lol. I think the tuning gods have given me a sign to go make some tuning sacrafices of some kind.

again Miss Rose, and I say this not to defend Enerpulse but, I have not heard any cases such as yours. about the claim. I think they were refering to not harming your engine in the sense of operation. A plug striking a head sounds like a completely different story. i am eager to see the pictures because it sounds interesting. After speaking with Kyle and some of their others, they plan on address heat in the next wave of plugs. A colder plug I believe is under development.

Any pictures you have of the plugs as well would be interesting to see. a gorey sight to see I guess

Final dyno is slated for the end of the month. lol I gotta rent the time you know.
All that aside, I will be making a local appeal for a 5speed transmission so I get the manual transmission numbers. since there is a clear difference between the 5 speed and the CVT.

pulstar plugs

I tried the plugs on my viii and found out that they are just way too fragile to use. I torqued them as stated in the instructions. The car idled just fine but when I took them out on the road for a try and went wot the car started mising and backfiring. I took it home very slowly and found that one of the plugs had cracked. I contacted the company and they refunded my money without any questions asked. I just wonder if this is a recurring thing with the plug. As for hp dont have a clue, the principle is correct I believe the plugs act just like a compacitator discharge system.

sorry to hear about your experience thus far. message me in July, I will be heading to New Mexico and Arizona and Cali in August. by then I will be expanding my testing to the older EVO's. I may hold off because it is speculated that they are releasing colder plug applications, as their next step.

I have inserted and taken out the plugs multiple times without any problems.

can you please define "CRACKED" as in where it was cracked, because mine either melted or broke off, but to the looks of my Plug it sure looks melted, and other plugs were cracked at the tip and most likely those plugs would have gone bad as well. Just to get that info out.

Miss Rose, I and everyone else here is eager to see the pics of the head. But I am curious if you have the plugs as well, if you could take pictures of that, that would be good. I have been reading some of your previous posts, and it is unclear if you were opporting the correct length plug. were you operating the BE plug or the DG plug?

i was opertaing with the BE for a moment, then replaced them back to OEM i ran with them going to Pep-girls to return them. There down the street from where i work so theres no way i could have done any damage, then i got the DG plugs from kyle due to the dilemma i had, and from there all hell broke loose not right away but within a week 2 i already forgot since its been over 3 months ago
