Midpipe install eh, get spare hardware....trust me. I fought the bolts...and the bolts won. Well that is until i got my dremel out.
I'm definitely going to make it out every thursday.
This week, i'm running a stupid loud setup, hks hi-power and exoticspeed race pipe
As far as a garage meet, im willing to host.

^^ Installing the midpipe is an easy task, apply lots of wd40 and make sure there are no air leaks afterwards, if you need a hand let us know!

Tell failsafe to take the sparkplugs out and dry them really good (burn the tips a little with a torch or gas stove), charge the battery to the max, and i think there is a fuse for the gas pump that it needs to be taken off than crank the engine with out the sparkplugs in a couple of times (to get the gas in the engine out) then plug fuse in sparkplugs in and crank it up. This is how i used to deflood my rx7 back in the days, or call my mechanic mario i could pm'you his number
yeap!

We did the 'pull the fuse/crank/etc' method last night, although we didn't take out the plugs when we did it. I'm going to jack the car up when I get home from work to put new fog bulbs in, so maybe I'll try that while it's up. Like I said though, I don't have a torch to dry the existing ones out.
Does he do house calls? lol. I really don't feel like having the car towed at the moment. Although I could use my AAA membership if he's close enough I suppose.

On Friday, I pulled the plugs, pulled the fuel pump fuse (the 20A one), tried cranking a bunch of times to clear everything out. I let the car sit all day saturday in the heat with the plugs out and took a wire brush and torch to the original plugs to clean them off. Francesco can vouch for how bad they were since I sent him a picture. Dear god. lolol.
Sunday night, I put them back in and tried getting it going and still nothing, although at least this time, it actually felt like it was trying to start. It almost did at one point, but after a while of trying, it still wouldn't.
Needless to say, I'm beyond aggrevated at this point. I had to restrain myself from calling the stealership this morning.
I can't believe that my optima red top is still going strong at this point though. lol

I may have to bite the bullet and just put the new ones in. The originals are more than likely completely shot.
