[s-cars] immanent coil failure/1.8t conversion

[Robert Myers]

And you know what opinions are like, Dave.  Everybody has one.  ;-)

I did the 034 conversion quite a few miles back and am running it 
bald (like me) with no cover.  Also with no problems but, pessimist 
that I am, I have a spare coil in my trunk.  Installation was 
tough.  It took almost 15 minutes.

The car: RS2ed, FMIC, MRC software.
