i have been running magnecores for about 3 years, i got them when i rebuilt, how long do they last? the car gets about 200 miles a year now, but i probably have driven it 2000 miles since the rebuild (2004) i am just curious if they need to be replaced. i drove it "alot" right after the rebuild.

the website says they last a lifetime but i dont believe them. am i just paranoid or did i do it right the first time?

thanks for any info.

p.s. i have the lex/550's and about 13-15 psi of the goodness.
i also have the aeromotive fpr, walbro 255, safc2 and i beat the shit out of it for 1500 out of 2000 miles. when i say "beat the shit out of" i mean i dont worry about rebuilding, i beat the SHIT out of it. thats why i bought it.

supra love.

only time to change ignition wires is when they stop carrying current to the spark plugs or if they fail the ohm meter check.

I know my spark plug wires are old, but they're not cracking or coming apart, I just make sure to clean them very well since you can have issues with crap on them...

(horrible trick you cna do to someone is take a pencil and write on their spark plug wires)
