i was running stock coils for a long while when i first went on e85 26-28~ish psi on an fp green. at first i would get misfires and spark blow outs then twabtoxer suggested to lower the gap to .021 area and i helped a bunch. it also could have been my stock 2003 coils were a bit weak. Anyways, when i got my cop done i was able to increase the gap with no issues.

MAP drop ships a lot of their items directly from their vendors or the manufacturer. The multiple tracking numbers is normal.

Went out and took some night shots of the 05 RS this evening. Pictures were taken at around 10:30pm with a decent exposure time

i fixed my boost issues with a few new worm clamps and tbolt clamps,and also swapped out my turbo XS RFL BOV for a crushed stock IX and it made a world of difference,but now im getting horrible surge. I dont even think the IX valve is opening:/

time for a synapse or a baller *** Tial bov

Hey everyone! i was wondering if you guys could help me figure out this noise i have been concerned about for the past few days, if its normal or not. I have been searching the forums but didn't come across anything like this. I was planning on stopping by the dealer when i can.

I noticed that it pretty much happens after i drive the car around for a while and happens when im like a second from coming to a complete stop. The noise sounds like its mainly coming from the front of the car. It sounds like the noise when I am opening/closing my trunk.( not the noise from when the trunk slams shut, or not the noise that when i push the button to open it ) The noise it makes the trunk makes as it raises up, and goes down about to close. The noise from the trunk shocks you call it? Sorry if that was confusing, just trying to be specific. That is the best way that i can think of it right now.

My car only has around 3k miles now. Baby the car like no other. If there is any other info i can give to help, I'd be glad to. Thanks everyone in advance.
