I did not get to ride as planned on the first of the year.
I decided to do some changes on my car ie....wires, plugs etc...
Let me tell you what happened:
1. Installed the bright sylvannia headlights (look great)
2. replaced my foglight assy, both were cracked/damaged (they look really good now)
3. Replaced the Hatch Assy motor which I purchased for $40 from Ted in Jersey; who has a evrypart you can think of for your thirdgen car; at least 3 of everything.
Now, here lies the problem:
went and bought the Bosch PLT +4 spark plugs and installed them.
My car started to have a heart attack, ran okay the first day but then I took her out for a long run and she started sounding like a helicopter; she started shaking and rattling, I thought she was going to die (my poor baby); had to put her into 3rd gear to get her home (my poor, poor baby
)
I went out and bought some Delco plugs and plan to put them in this weekend.
My baby was running fine until I put those Hot Bosch Plugs in her.
The Moral of this story is: If it is not broke don't fix it!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So, with all that the only thing that I will be giving my baby is a new paint job (due to some surface rust by the front glass) and add some subwoofers and an amp.
Then she will be ready for the spring; hope to have that done by March.
I plan on looking for next car which will be the Trans Am w/ a V8

that stinks. i have found that the only plugs that work are delco plugs. you should try the rapid fire plugs from delco. i really like those. and i understand when you say that ifits not broken dont fix it. i have a new 300 horse gm performance crate motor that has about 500 miles on it and i decided to tear it apart and rebuild it. now with all of my other things going oni donthave time to finish it and i cant even enjoy a ride. cant even take the bike out cause its too cold for me. oh well i guess i am just going to have to wait until i get her back together...

I am putting this sub enclosure in my car; it is made by Q-Logic which can be found on Car Domain Store; it comes in different colors to match your interior and model of car

yea i had a qlodgic box in my truck and it sounds really good. but i decided to have a custom box made up instead. i have always found that custom boxes always sound better than pre-built boxs but the qlodgic boxes i think are the best out there. as soon as i get a chance i will show you pics of my set up. i have pics but cant display them cause it says that the file is too big. do you know of a way to compress them so i can post??
