Are you offering to help me make how-tos? or help Ike do his work? (You replied to MY post way up there, so I am not sure.

By the way, I JUST put in my double-plat plugs and 8 mm wires last night, and my car is running like a beast. Thanks for the confidence and the support (everybody included) which saved me $400. It was actually quite fun! I can't believe some of you were actually offering to come help me. This room is definitely different then some of the other rooms that's for sure. Anyways, I appreciate it. Next is the throttle body and UIM.

Congratulations! I'm glad that you have a good sense of humor and a good attitude. Arn't you glad that you "put down your purse" and tackled the job.

Lol! I don't know. I was really starting to like that purse. In any event, I've done a few things in the last couple of days and my car is REALLY running good. High performance tune-up, JUST cleaned the throttle body (which was hella gunked up), magna-flow cat-back, fuel infector cleaner, and some octane booster for good measure. This thing's likely to snap my neck off next time I get in 'er.
Upcoming projects: replacing fuel filter, cleaning the UIM/LIM
P.S. I just can't stop finding reasons to pop the hood and find something to clean. Do I have some kind of disease or is that horsepower drug starting to make me an addict?

Oh yeah, the how-tos listed at the top of the forum are ESPECIALLY useful and easy to understand. I believe this is Ray's doing, but maybe not entirely by himself. In any event, a first-timer such as myself has been able to perform every maintenance project I've tackled up to this point. Good job on those how-tos!

Thank you! Some of the how-tos are mine.. (notably the uim, hub and alternator ones) but everyone made some. I just linked to them. I get help when I need it on my projects, and I include them in the credits.
That's what this site is about, after all. Getting help when you need it.
