Lol...great thing about the passion from both sides is the obvious satisfaction with both tuners...competition is what keeps the platform moving forward

Noticed since having a tune my plugs need to be replaced more often,this is my third time changing the plugs,the first set were pregapped at 0.31-0.32 and installed them,the set that i changed now had the same gap so gapped them at 0.30 exactly and noticed the car to run much smoother at 0.30 than 0.31-0.32,MC SP-534,the picture are plugs changed at only 3k on them and that was after a lengthy car trip,there is no oil residue on them thats the antiseize.

You changed them already?  What was the gap on the previous set at?

The SP-534 came pregapped at 0.31-o.32 and installed them,now i gapped them at 0.30 exactly and feels alot smoothe,and thats why i changed them cause wanted them exactly 0.30.

I just want to state for the record...

Demolishing ceramic tile thinset from concrete substrate is the absolute worst s*** imaginable in a lived-in domicile.

Never again.

Actually, no. Bought this house new in 2012. Somebody else had it built with some customizations, including the horrendous tile throughout most of the home. They backed out on their contract and we swooped in and bought it, becasue it was new and move-in ready. Been there since. Never liked the tile. Can't believe anybody would pay a premium to have this garbage installed.

Looks fantastic! I love tile. It's my favorite flooring, when it's good tile and done correctly.

I did, actually. I am using a Hilti demolition hammer drill, with a chisel bit.
This is my first time demoing tile from a concrete subfloor, so I don't have anything to compare it to. But, whoever laid this tile did a hell of a job. The mastic is literally like apart of the slab. It's unreal.
So far, chisel it all off, grind off the remaining high spots, then go back and fill in the low spots with compound filler, then go back again and take those high spots back down with the grinder...Then the subfloor is ready.
I still have like 600 Sq ft. to demo. I'm really hoping the thinset is not set as well in the remaining areas. Sheesh.

Sounds like you should have just lived with it..   hopefully the rest of the House was built as strong as your floors

If they used mastic instead of mortar it is a complete PIA...I've actually convinced customers to use a self leveling mortar instead of demoing that crap. Little pricy, but awesome to lay tile afterwards on completely level surface.
