PRO TIP - Wrap your ignition coil(s)with reflective coating, I had coil A (I think) go bad (26k miles) and the assumption is the heat from the UEL and position causes the coil to panic/melt causing a CEL. The tape is much cheaper then replacement coil and way less cursing when doing the work. See - http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showt...=30879&page=15 and props to smbstyle for the pics.
Any plans for mid/over pipe? I am still stock, it's giving me a bit of rasp at top RPMs my assumption is that once I swap that I should be fine. |
Funny enough, I bought the header w/o ceramic coating because I'm cheap. I will definitely take a look at wrapping the coils. I'll probably get the header coated internally and externally. Heck, I may even wrap the header on top of that as I'm hoping to do some HPDE days at some point.
No plans on front or over pipe at this time. Midpipe and axle back are the Corsa pieces currently. It's truly a beautiful exhaust. Excellent sound, excellent quality, excellent fit. Unfortunately, I've heard that when its paired w/ a catless header, it turns into an absolute screamer. As in window shaking, ear splitting loudness at any RPM above 4-5k. For this reason, I am actually going to have my stock catback ready when I install my header, just in case it's too much.
Q300 and Perrin 2.5" resonated is my short list for replacements currently. Maybe next Christmas will be suspension mods... If I can hold out that long
*edit*
I will be insanely jealous of those volks... I cannot wait till I burn out the rest of the stock rubber so I can justify upgrading wheels and tires.
