[s-cars] Question(s) for those with a 1.8t coil pack conversion

[forgied at direct.ca]

Dave: How did you orient your No. 5 coil pack?  I see Donald Smith (with a
bunch of failures) and Dennis Graber (No. 5 failure) and the commercial
kits have all the coil packs going SE. I think there could be a problem
with No. 5 and maybe all of them with that orientation. (Mine are (front
to back): SE, SW, SW, SW, NE).
