  1. From NGK: A gap that is too small means that the spark duration will be very quick and the spark will be thin and weak. The consequences of this may be bad starting and high exhaust emission levels. This will result in an increase in fuel consumption. If the gap is set too large, the ignition system will not be able to cope with the demands and a misfire situation will occur. Some wide gap spark plugs have a longer ground electrode to accommodate a wide gap setting. These must be used where specified, as opening up a standard plug to a wider gap setting may result in the electrodes not running parallel to each other. This could result in abnormal and premature electrode wear. I learned something, too.
  2. So far, this tire is the only thing that I've found in 185/70: http://www.polleymotorsport.co.uk/tyres/msport/A035.htm Anyone know of anything else?
  3. http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=49966 this is speculation, but i assume they'll fit, since the post doesn't mention it, and the rear brakes should be smaller than the front.
  4. I have a sloppy distributor shaft on my 1986 GL 1.8 4x4 hatch that I believe is screwing up my engine on cold days, and I don't feel like paying $200+ at the local parts shop for a new one. What years, models, and engines are interchangeable with my Hitachi unit? The symptoms of my problem include physical damage to the rotor, intermittant awful running on cold days after start up while moving, and an overzealous tach while the engine is acting funky.
