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

[forgied at direct.ca]

Hmmm....I like the bear encounter issue, i.e. I don't have to be able to
outrun the bear. All I have to be able to do is run faster than you. <jk>

NW?  Hmmm..that means its point towards the IM?  Okay.  As long as its
away from the firewall.

Check for photos. I have an archive of a bunch of people's installs. If
you have one send it to forgied at ae.ca where I have more band width.

Thanks.
