Wheels wont be quite tucked, if either of you saw the 8 i put on my facebook wall, thats the height im going for.

Cole you want some coils

 

You know I want those coils! haha I wish.

 

Jeez Adam, do you really need to tempt me with this. I'm not so sure I wanna be plowing roadkill into the ground with my front bumper though HAHA.

 

I guess he's looking to scoop it up next.

 

You dont have to go that low . I do have to tempt you though, and if the temptation isnt enough think of it like you will help me go lower.

 

I cannot comprehend you going lower Adam.

 

I lied. The car still starts really rough when it is cold. I guess I will be replacing the coils soon.

 

Hopefully that will help it out Cole.

And AJ thanks for pretty much buying the coilovers today. Its gonna be weird having S Techs on again for a while, but anyway just hit me up when youre gonna be on break and we will get those put on. Im sure youll love it. And if you want maybe even pick up some 20mm spacers and we can thrown those on too.

 

Hell yea, I'm looking forward to not having stock ride height haha. I wonder how the 8 will handle the treacherous como roads lol

 

I had them on when I was down there this summer and it was nice. They are stiffer than stock so it Will be a little rougher but its nothing insane. Ill raise them up from my settings now so hopefully we wont have to adjust them when we put them on.

 

Cole you didnt ever get those tails did you?

 

I had a similar problem with my 8 Cole. The engine took a little longer to start today and once I had it running I could tell their was a misfire (sounds like a lawnmower and the CEL was flashing). The car was so weak it couldn't even leave the parking garage i was in haha.

I'll be checking the plugs, wires, and coils tommorow and see if thats the problem. Also think the colder weather could be causing my car to run even richer.

Adam, did you install the s-tech's yet? hopefully i can fix this problem with my car before I go back to stl.

 

I just ordered new coils yesterday, should have them by friday.. Mine runs really really rough. Scary rough. lol And it coughs up an *** ton of smoke too.

Yeah, I have had the tails in my trunk for a good couple weeks Adam. haha

 

I put them on over the weekend which was a pain in the *** by the way, I also put them on backwards. My fault.

 

Coils get here on monday. Let's hope this fixes my problem.

 

I'll be replacing the spark plugs first on mine but if that doesn't work i think ill need to order new coils as well.
Did you go with the oem or with bhr's, Cole?

 

I just went with the OEM's. I didn't wanna throw down the extra 400 bucks for BHR now. At this point in the life of my car, it would be a little bit of overkill I think.

 

Hi everyone.

Also, I need to replace my coils since I'm still getting the misfire code. I'm sure my performance is becoming shot by now.

 

Hey guys Im a recent owner of a 05 8 and as much as I like it I got to sell it. I live in highland and if anyone is interested send me a message. Im totally honest about it ad only want what my loan Is for it.

 

not sure how many buyers you'll find in the stl OWNERS club haha, but glws anyways.

today was pretty messed up;
good news, replaced spark plugs, spark plug wires, and the coils (have the updated 100-A coils now), i'm pretty sure the car was only running on three coils for some time cause now the idle/start-up/throttle response is a lot better.

bad news, within 2 minutes of replacing the ignition I was stopped at an intersection and got rear-ended not once, but twice!! i guess the person forgot wear the brake pedal was?:/ ... anyways it wasn't to bad just nicked the paint up and the license plate was bent up.

 

Will their insurance cover that man? That sucks!

 

Well thats good news about the coils and the car running better.

Really sucks about the getting rear ended. I would hope they have insurance though.

 

My coils are supposed to be in on Monday. Hopefully that will fix my problem. We will see though. The car just depresses me right now as it is.

 

Ya I'm still getting the damage quoted for the insurance company but it should be covered. The deductible is what is gonna suck. At least the car is running good. I forgot about for now after quite a few shots lol.

 

haha that always helps. Celebrated my birthday last night, so trust me, I know. lol
