[s-cars] FAK!!! Dreaded stumble/miss rears ugly head!

[Sandy Sligh]

I just went 1.8t plus tri-electrode and the car
(RS2'd) is noticably smoother. The plugs i took out
were showing uneven coloring. I wonder if this is
where the tri-electrodes are helping out. 

Pulled the rubber seals off the coils to get a solid
connection on the plugs. Is there a possible moisture
issue now?
