changed plugs and other ****

I changed the plugs and wires on my car the other day, made one hell of a difference. When I took off the wires they where all burnt up. They where frying on the manifold. I rigged the new ones up so that they would not burn.

Jay, thanks for the offer, I tryed reaching you a couple of days ago but could'ent. I got this guy from work getting it done for me, I droped the car off at his house this morning. I'm still very grateful for the A/C and the help with brakes. I'm probably gonna get the compressor istalled next week.

Hopefully I can get enough cash for those super competition hooker headers and we can get that done. I need something to help me out at the track.

I got my *** whooped by an 87 rx7 and a 90's prelude with a japanese engine swap the other day.

It was not a good f'nning feeling!

It turned out the guy in the 87 rx7 also owned an IROC I went over to his house the other day and he said he might show up to the meet.

Did U have fun with #6 + #8 plugs? Did U have to do any of them from underneath?

Actually I have never changed plugs on an thirdgen that did not have headers--I wonder if it is easier or harder?

Headers are definitley easier. My freind with a 91 Z had Hedman headers, I could change plugs in about a half hour. Manifolds take about an hour longer.

Yeah I broke one of them and had to hitch a ride to autozone for a new one. Changing spark plugs sucks!
