[s-cars] Stop the comedy! Real issues to solve!

[Eric Phillips]

Plugs and coils are new last September.  Less than 1k miles on both.

OXS is up soon - I just got an Innovate LC-1 WBOXS and am trying to
figure out how to route the wires.  Speaking of which - can anyone
help me out here?  I was trying to find a grommet to pass these wires
through, but am not having much luck.

As soon as I can figure that out, the OXS will get changed.

Thanks Andrew.
