Just installed 2nd gen coil... questions*PICS*

Took all of about 30 minutes. Started right up. The exhaust has a more tinny note to it? Anyone else experiance this?

Also how is timing set now? I'd like to re check all the timing because although the car does idle smoother and have better street manners the car feels a little slower. Also at low rpm betweeen shifts usually 1st to 2nd at about 3k rpm or so it has a slight buck like an IGN misfire but then clears up right away? Not sure what this is eaither.

All in all the hot start, idle, and street manners all seem to have improved. It seems like I have to rev the engine less from a dead stop while engaugeing the clutch now.

Also the way I mounted my coil the stock Pug Wires fit nicely with boots and all. I did have to extend the power wire to the coil though.




Also got some tint

I dunno when I installed mine it seemed to help out all around. I also used sencond gen leading plugs for the leading. You might want to try that.
