I acquired my Reatta last October but haven't done much work on it. It's a restoration project- mechanically it's pretty fine and most issues are cosmetic or electrical. I've started working on the interior bits while I sort out electrical issues, and thought I'd share. I finished working on the steering wheel with freshly wrapped leather and I repainted the steering wheel badge and added a little highlighting for the airbag (to quell some worries from family- now they can READ that it has the airbag!) The badge was airbrushed with a layer of gold then translucent yellow and orange and a paint marker for the black parts. I'll be doing the seats next.

I was impressed with the write-up on the E-3 plugs, so I purchased a set and installed them. At first they seemed alright, but as time went on I started to hev trouble, Missing, Bucking, and lack of Power. RPMs limited to 4500. Then I didn't realize that it was the plugs. I went off the deep end figuring it was something else. I did find a few other problems, but none of them solved the problem until I changed the plugs.

Replaced the spark plugs (E3") they are junk. One was not even firing. It was clean and shiny. Another was broken inside. You could turn the connection on the end of it. Installed a set of Bosch plugs and everything seems normal. Thanks for all the help guys.
