Are there more than those 2 that the coil pack wires are running on? Those were the only ones I had. And how would you get them between the coils where the coil cover mounting studs are? All the pics I've seen only have those 2.

Mine only has one ground on the firewall side of the engine bay on the coil packs. Runs fantastic. Maybe Yoshi is talking about something else?

We'll find out soon, I have to wait until my fan gets here before I can fill it with coolant. I'm buying all the rest of my fluids today and bleeding the brakes, tho.

bay looks great. would be cool to make a coil pack cover, like an rb26 or something

I'm trying to figure out what ALL black intake and valve cover looks like.... I'm going to do that with red strut bar and red BAV wires........

[shiboujin]

bav auto wires fail in about 2 years. Don't buy them.

for you? or everyone else?

I've personally seen 2 cars (not mine) making night light shows with them less than 2 years old. Arching from the wires to the VC.

I had a set for 6 years, never any issues. They're still on the car with the new owner, still working just fine.

[LowR3V'in]

Same here.
5 years and still within spec. Insulation is good.

Have you seen my build thread? If not, it's spray-in bedliner with a really fine texture.
