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.

Is that a shop? Im only a few blocks from there.
I will always welcome advice and help of others. Never ever have too much knowledge in my oppinion.
I am transplant from Bay Area so dont know LA area or many people.
I am pretty good mechanically just dont have all the special tools I bet I will need.
I used to work with motorcycles. Yam/Kaw/Suz/Hon factory trained. I crew chiefed a privateer superbike team for a couple years then ran a dealership in Redwood city. Built all the race boats we sponsored.
Passed all the ASE tests but never went and worked at shop...
I have never worked on a rotary before though. I was more focused on bikes but always helped friends with their cars.

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..

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.
