Ha, do you have the plugs? If not I carry the spec plugs for your car in my car It will only take about 30 min. You could even do it at an i-club meet!

Srry to bring an old thread but i wanted to reuse the thread name.

Just changed my plugs for some oem NGK's. This would be my first suby spark plug change and all i can say is "THANK GOD I ONLY WILL BE DOING THAT ONCE A YEAR". I really need to invest in some elbow type socket things because that would of really helped. At least I got a chance to notice some VAC lines disconnected and got them back on. Kinda explains why servco charges $400+

The nice tan color on the old plug indicates pretty good combustion conditions in the engine and air/fuel mixture.
How many miles on the old plugs?

Not sure when the last plug change was done prior to me getting the car feb 14 2011. So at least 12k.

I back fire plenty still. Today I did just after showing my ID at the gate to Marine Base Kbay. Startled the guard to do the look back hand on weapon move
