they don’t look too bad, maybe a little out of gap 3rd one
Yeah could be worse but I don't put a huge amount of miles on it per year.
They were all past the gap limit when I checked, but luckily they weren't causing misfires. Just the bad coil pack.
Tonight will be doing a few prep things on it for this weekends event. Pulling passenger seat to shed a bit of weight (I am way over weight/power for my class, especially for running street tires vs hoosiers). Going to bleed brakes as well and swap pads if my new pads get here today.

Do you have a pressure setup for bleeding the brakes? I have a motive system I have used for years and bought some adapters to get it to work on the Honda style cap. Just haven't done it yet. Need to do it since the fluid is 21 years old. And I need to change the coolant then all fluids are done.

Yep I also have a Motiv that I have had for a long time as well, with the adaptor for our system. I really like it. After about 12 years or so and many uses on our cars, the line on it did get brittle and then popped when I was in the middle of bleeding, luckily on a small amount hitting the bumper which I quickly cleaned with soap and water. The rest shot about 15 -20 feet across the shop! But I replaced that line and all is good with it. I think the line would have lasted longer had I cleaned it out every time with something but it had a pretty long life. I should have known as I could tell it was getting a bit hard over time.
I flush mine every season since it spends time on the track, and I bleed between events. But even for a street car definitely a good idea for you to flush it at this point! Also, I would flush the clutch as well. Suck all the fluid out of the reservoir, then fill it and do a gravity bleed. Works even better with the slave unbolted and hanging so the bleeder is straight up. You have to pay attention as it gravity bleeds pretty fast and you want to keep the reservoir full while doing it. Then, at least each season, suck out what you can from the reservoir with a turkey baster and top off with fresh. Our clutch fluid gets dirty very fast and can actually cause some leaking at the CMC.

I had the line pop years ago when I had my 05 STi and it got all over the car. Had to pull the car out of the garage immediate and wash it asap. I change the plastic line if it sits very long.
I gravity bled the clutch last year. But need to do the brake fluid asap.

im about 40lbs overweight so I’ll pop my passenger seat and be running HOT!!!
Oh, I have the one below. I do not like he universal ones they have and had issues trying to make them work on the S2k. The whole thing with the chains and trying to get them in a good spot to tighten down was a pain. But this one screws on just like the OEM cap
