True that. She isn't freaking out yet but it's only a matter of time lol. I'll build it as cheap as possible with the best parts possible. I don't want to go through this again at 60k miles.
Greens were still failing, blues are the most current relays to use (Jose may have killed a blue one too though). Would be worth pulling the green one out and giving it a shake to see if it rattles.
I have the blue relays sitting in my vehicle box where I keep all my crap... I havent had a single problem with green ones, too scared to replace them as I am not having any problems at all :S

Stolen from chkmgnt, hope you don't mind man, but this is exactly what the plugs looked like in 2 and 4. I forgot to take pictures when I was up there. You can see the liner cracks and then slips over the electrode and touches the prong causing misfire.
I had the same thing happen to my plugs at MSR. Luckily, I got away with new plugs. Basically got a slight misfire then a CEL. Misfire cylinder 2, changed all 4 plugs. Haven't had another issue since.
How many miles on the plugs? So far its looking like the stock plugs for the X are not very good at lasting much more than 30k . Hopefully NGK will figure out why these plugs are failing as they aren't on the IXs.
Heat and abuse seem to be the issue, not necessarily miles. I wonder how well those fancy HKS plugs hold up?
