Hmmm... how did that happen you might ask?

Well it takes a built bottom end Mazdaspeed Protege, with a maxed out stock GT2554R, on a custom tune and a slightly slipping clutch (dam i'm getting a new one soon, i promise) and a B5 S4 on a stretch of private road.

"private" road.

When I raced that subaru it was on a "private" road too.

Just late enough where NO cars were on the road. So no one witnessed how badly I really embarrassed him.

Those were some hot cylinder temps. Run a little bit lean I assume?

Did this with my Mustang one while trying to street tune big cams and fuel upgrades, except the pugs for that engine were nearly $22 a piece...

after the pull, slowed down to make a u-turn for a second run and for the audi guy to fiddle with his tune/timing thingie. never actually shut the car off, but after trying to get up to speed just started to misfire like a boss. Limped it to Carquest, changed the plugs and was good to go.

maybe just a tiny bit.

i actually beat him on the good run, didnt get a chance to run properly the second time because of the misfire.

mine were like 8 bucks, didnt even have any tools with me, just asked the guy at carquest if he had a ratchet with an extension, a 10mm socket and a spark plug socket. Changed the plugs and was good to go.

I guess it was more a contest of who would break down first. I'm surprised it wasn't the Audi.

Looks like a timing issue. Plugs say you are definitely not running lean or you have a lot of oil entering the combustion chamber.

You just swapped plugs after finding parts of the porcelan missing as well as chunks of the electrode missing? Really? You got balls as I would have had that head off in a heartbeat to clean and fish that crap out. I would hate to see your head.
