Chris Posted February 14, 2003 Share Posted February 14, 2003 I finally got my car and its great, more torquer than i thought in first and second gear. When i was out driving tonight i noticed a slight back fire but appart from that everything seems a-ok. I am planning on getting new plugs this weekend, new leads and a service, and get it checked over so i know thats its not gonna knack up. Ill get some pictures 2moro if i can lead my dads digi cam as they come out better than on me phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Posted February 14, 2003 Author Share Posted February 14, 2003 i think if i get the timing checked on it 2moro and service and make sure its tuned right then it shouldnt backfire anymore its only a slight backfire that i have heard once or twice in about 2-3 hours driving but i want it to be perfect.
