Yea I am just gonna end up cleaning off existing plugs as best possible and order them online. Local option just aint in the cards unless I wanted to pay rediculous dealer prices.

My buddy took his car in for some recalls and they wanted to charge him a diagnosis fee. They then cross threaded and snapped not one, not two, but three lugs.

Its not a shop its my apartment. Every mod/repair I've done has been in my garage. since its an import you really only need a 14, 12, 17, 21, breaker bar,torque wrench, and some screwdrivers.. and that's it you can perform most of the repairs.. Unless you wanna do the tran and diff then you need a 24 and 23 wtf that pissed me off... granted some bent elbows and 1/2in drivers don't hurt.. Its cake working on a rotary if you have some experience

anyway well your in there I would change your coils as well.. go through a forum vendor I'm sure some of them are selling the package with plugs coils and wires..

good luck!

Well they only had plugs and air filter at Napa so thats what I put in for now.

Was looking at he BHR coils thread, was thinking might give those a try.
I am pretty much all set tool wise. I used to have a lot more but I got robbed a while back.... and since was not wrenching for a living anymore I didnt bother buying most again.

I do have a pretty good sized 2 car garage. Only thing I really dont have that id want is welding setup. If you ever need space to work on something id love to help out. I have to wait until save up some more before I can start doing any cool mods. But I love building and wreching so am always down to help out. Helps to learn too.
Been thinking actually that I might want to buy a extra motor that I can take my time and build out really nice. Since I am currently under warranty dont have to worry about finishing it for while

looking at your plugs, your going to need to de-carb your engine.
it's fun, but your neighbors might not like you for awhile..
not just the redlining, your going to need the engine cleaner..

Oh sick man sounds like you got a good setup over there.. If you want to do mods best thing to do is buy them on here from someone else. people are always selling random stuff.

or you can use seafoam works real well... I can help you out with that to my neighbors hate me hahaha.

scremn8

i used the sea foam and the cleaner.
not together tho. about a month apart.
sea foam had some crazy smoke.
by the way shady i think i've seen you
roaming around in santa monica..

mryoshi

Yea when your back in town would love help doing the seafoam. Can I buy it local? Never used it before.

yea I live and work in santa monica/west la i got a fucked up fender its unique hahaha. I like seafoam becuase its based off mineral oil and doesn't dry out the seals as much.

yea you can buy it at autozone I have the vacuum lines and everything.

Galpin in Van Nuys used to be okay but they got rid of the good ones and brought in a crew who always want to charge JUST to find out why an engine light is flashing. They aren't willing to just hook the reader up and tell you what's going on. I guess they gotta make their money somehow.
