    You used the wrong spark plugs.

    Kudos to your project though!

          Platinum plugs are no good for M20 engines. Swap them for Bosch Super.

              great work
              ya those plugs will work fine,
              there is just a better option.
              great work, so far keep it up.

                        the front is damaged (i still have it) side skirts have gashes on them (still have them), door panels went right into the trash. and the rear was hanging on for dear life so it was trashed as well

                        its just not my taste

                            Sounds like me when I traded a full BMP kit for a late model plastic swap.

                              having the right tools helps ALOT. its not that hard . slow down and make sure your doing things properly. always check your work!
