[s-cars] no more misfires!!! woo hoo!!!

[Dave Forgie]

No problem Bob.  I agree about the lack of water issues (unless you drive
into a lake - and then you have bigger problems).  On the cover issue,  I
just don't want these conversions to "fail" because people think they need
to run the cover.  Look at the OEM applications, e.g. the new S4 V8 and the
S8 V10 - the coil packs are wide open for all to see.  Admittedly, they do
have designer orange trim. <joke>
