Lil update. Just recieved my BHR globally compliant coils with MSD wires. Will be installing later today!

I gave one of my stickers to ShellDude, broke my lanyard clip, and my screaming monkey is hanging off a mag base on my rollaway in
the garage. Midpipe, old coil kit & fuel pump ring tool. |
I wonder if those MSD wires are better than the regular NGK 4858 wires.
It's a nice coil set, thinking about getting it myself too. |
BHR coils w/ Msd wires in. Excellent product. I love that his new globally compliant coils get rid of the harness and excess bracketing. Such a quick and easy install/swap out, etc.

The new coils and wires look great on your car! I have the early version with gray MSD wires and they're still working great! The couls have been in the car and working great since 2012!

Jazer, Tastefully done! Nice attention to subtle points: clean, de-embleming, wheels, exh. tips, etc.
I considered an aftermarket audio head unit, but ultimately went with a blue tooth adapter connection to my phone. It's cheaper, simpler, and allows play or streaming music, and phone calls thru car audio. :icon_tup: |

It's cheaper, simpler, and allows play or streaming music, and phone calls thru car audio. :icon_tup: Can I ask what adapter you used? I have looked at various aux/bluetooth addons for the stock radio. I do know my version is compatible at least. I have had two aftermarket head units in the 8. The first one worked okay, but didnt have the proper harness for the Bose amp. It sounded like shit. The second radio I used we had already used in our Evo and then had in storage - so Im not sure if it got banged around one too many times or if the metra kit became faulty but I had issues with that one (sometimes the radio wouldn't receive power when I'd go to turn the car on, and only pulling a fuse and reinserting would restore power. I'd also get alternator feedback. Ground loop isolator didnt help. All connections were nice and tight and correct.). Just annoying issues the stock radio fixed instantly. What does suck is the aftermarket radio gave more sound control so did sound better than OE. I would also like to revisit my tablet in the nav hood which is currently outdated and replace with a newer one and maybe go that route for future radio modifications. I think that may be a fun project to go a lil more in depth with. I just dropped a lot to put a real nice tech setup in my "family" car so the 8s audio is not my priority atm. |
