Well I am knee deep in working the thirdgen now. I did a complete tuneup this weekend and without Tech Central (IAC/TPS/IDLE) I would have been pretty lost. O by the way someone should put up a disclaimer about changing the plugs...do most of it from underneath the car.
Next up headers.

with the stock manifold thats true, but once you get headers you can do it from up top. might i add that it dose NOT make it easier though.

You can easily get most of the plugs from up top if You don't have A.I.R pipes.

I wish no A.I.R... I am from Texas so I have to pass the visual. Unless of course someone knows away around that. I even let the car warm up some and made my 12 year old change a plug (no.1). He thought wrenching on cars was great until that point. (no it wasn't hot enough to burn just a little warm..don't want the kid police after me...)

I guess it depends what headers you have and whether or not you have AIR, but with my SLP NON AIR headers, I bet I could have all 8 plugs changed in 10-15 minutes if I laid out the different tools and sockets in front of me, and I rushed.

...but yes TGO does ROCK!!!!!! ....I couldn't have done my cam swap with us....you....them!!!
