[s-cars] 1.8T coil pak conversion update

[Douglas Gray]

Craig,

Sorry to hear of another power stumble BUT . . .  ROTFLOL! Rossatobin!!  
A new technical term for storage that will indubitably become de rigeur 
for the IT world if ever they read this forum.  I'm surprised that Taka 
has not encountered this in his search for the perfect RAID solution.
