Alright guy, all done putting in new coil packs. Here's a picture of where they're located. (I'll post pics of the bad ones later on)

Remove the rubber piece from your intake and they're below that. You'll need an extension and a 10mm socket to get the coil packs out.







Here's a pick of the new coil packs with new spark plug wires. (Racing Beat)

haha, thanks Peter. The red is a nice little touch in there... not very noticable with the engine cover on but once it's removed you can tell they're not stock.

- This actually took me ALL DAY but I did a lot more then just remove the coil packs; replaced coil packs, replaced spark plug wires, changed spark plugs, AND removed Racing Beat intake to clean out the filter.

Then, when I was all done.... we started on Newcastle's car. We these cars back to back. I will admit that the second car took less then half of the time of mine. (easier with repitition)

This isn't what I would consider a "hard" job but it will be time consuming...especially if you're doing it on your own.

Make sure you have the proper tools and it'll make your life MUCH easier. The coil pakcs can be removed using a ratchet, a 12 inch extension and a 10mm socket.

Proper tools = ratchet fittings like extensions, unions and deep sockets ohh and a magnet with an extension is very helpfull so you dont lose the nuts that come off the coild packs. Did I metion small hands are ideal for this project?
