Hey Carl,
Well, over time (like we do) I had soldered up my speedo wires, and over the course of changing my cells regular I had changed the brand of corally tubes without changing the plugs.
In all honest, what happened is I would normally buy EVERYTHING I need from Dom at DC Racing and it has always been good compatible stuff, but because I was sponsorred for cells by Infinity I had Daryl solder up my latest sets for me - using the corally tubes which he gets in (and rebag as Infinity). So the mix of plug from DC Racing and tubes from Lesro/Infinity, although they felt secure, the resistance was sky high and eventually they deteriorated to the point that the solder melted on the cells and plugs fell off.
Right, well the LRP plugs I get now are from DC Racing. I specifically wanted these as they are silver, so when I randomly find a gold plug in my box, I won't use it ever again and my plugs will always be compatible.
I got these LRP plugs in a pack containing 2 males and 10 females. Part number NR.65830. I put them on about 2-3 weeks ago, and I feel absolutely no difference in performance, I have been soldering since about October, and although it solved my issue, I hated doing it.
Rich, mate, please stop calling it "Poor car prep", call it "Inadvertantly using incompatible plugs, or aged plugs"
