Spark Plugs Or Not?

[MissR34]

Fair enough. Text is hard to convey tone sometimes. I got a bit of a "Why don't you let the big boys get back to work" with a pat on the head kind of vibe.

I've got NFI about coilpacks / spark plugs whatever (which is also why I don't work on engines). I got the impression from the thread that the coilpacks and plugs in the RB are so close together that they're easy to mistake for a single unit, whereas he might be used to them being more separated (or cars with no coilpacks at all).

From the assumed knowledge in his questions it seemed like he just wasn't aware of how the RB specifically was engineered, not that he'd never pulled anything off any engine before. Every new car requires a bit of learning on how it all works and the easiest way is to associate it with things you already know.

But hey, its nice to see the tone go more civil here. It's amazing at how this "community" can mend its fences when everyone's on the same page, which is only possible when some people stop talking poo.

the best way i learnt about the RB was working on the engine itself, but not by myself to begin with. im lucky enough to have a tuner/mechanic that is willing to teach me when i want to know something, and is always happy to answer my quesions. it is quite easy to think that the spark plug/coilpack is a single unit, as you cant see the spark plug until you take the coilpack off it....

i guess everyone has there own way of looking into things and finding out info, i did some research on the RB while i was waiting for my car to come over from Japan, but the real learning process didnt start to happen until i got the car itself.

i can now pull things apart on my car and know i can put it all together back safely and not have any issues.

it all takes time tho
