Just Changed Distributor Cap...

Post by hypojam »

and what a brilliant difference it has made :o

Its mostly effected the high rev power, it just pulls and pulls all the way up to the red lines on the speedo, whereas before it would start feeling tired well before them...

It put a big smile on my face coming home from work tonight and i thought i would just share it all with you :D

Cap cost me £5.99, Worth every penny :D

Have no plans for my car except get coupe s steering wheel and hopefully find a rev counter.. Those two things will go nicely with my GT Interior :twisted:

Lowering/alloys will just increase my insurance price and i cant afford that :(

Always buy a good quality set of OEM plug leads as well. Getting a good spark is not only good for performance, its good for economy too! (God i must be getting old!!)
