الموضوع: SplitFire spark plug cables for my Lanos

i got a gift - again - from Ehab Bob and it was a set of Splitfire twin core 8.0mm spark plug cables


it was one of them sets that you have to cut to your specific lengthens and install the sockets and all so i got a couple of old OEM wire sets and stripped out the rubber caps and the ....l sockets to use them on the SF cables

i got the lengths off the OEM set and installed the rubber caps... it was a hell of a job as the SF cables are thicker so i used oil to lubricate the cables and let the caps slide... i had to use a hot ....l rod to enlarge the hole in the spark plug cap... that was the most exhausting part

after that i installed the ....l sockets... the one at the coil pack was tricky as their is a plastic cylinder were the cable has to go in and the SF is thicker than the OEM... i actually used a flat end screw driver and a hammer to force the damn thing in

last part of the customization was to adjust the position of the ....l socket at the spark plug size, it was an easy job to compare to one of the OEM cable sets... after that i cleaned all the ....l terminals with carb cleaner to get rid of all the oil residue

the installation was super easy... and as far as looks... it is as good as a cable set made for the Lanos and this is what i like the most







now for the test drive... no change whatsoever

it seems that them cables are just like the BOSCH super 4 spark plugs and all... the real benefit is the durability and lack of maintenance rather than performance, i was not that much disappointed as it is a gift... but paying 340LE (62USD) for this set with expectations of power gains will be frustrating indeed
