I don't want a new car, I want an old car. That's why everything in my car is....old. I want to feel it shake, rattle, run rough until it warms up, nose dive on hard braking and every other quirky thing that 113's are noted for. It's why I like my car - not because it's perfect but because it will always be wrong.
I like the look, sound and smell of an old car. Take that away and you have just another old car or just another car. It's why my newest car is still 20 years old and why I probably will never buy a another new car. I can fix this stuff myself and when it dies I'll part it out and make other ones live. The purest from of driving expirience is being at one with your auto enjoying all the sensory inputs.
Have you given yours a good Italian tune up lately?
Oh, one more thing. I think .025'' plug gap it a bit too close and may result in misfire later on when the plugs get worn a bit. I use .032'' which is generally standard setting for most plugs.
[Moderator addition, "Italian Tuneup": running a car at speed allowing the higher rpm to clean up carbon, gunk, etc. that a high compression engine might accumulate when driven at slow or moderate speeds.]
