trust me, no one wants to have to pay for em. I tell ya what tho, since you didn't get my steeda tips, when I get my weapon X coils in, you can have my stock set, or even the MSD set of CoP's if you'd like, 40 bucks shipped.

I still have the stock 03's, and the MSD ones.

Plugs- Anything but champions
air filter- clean or replace
Fuel filter- replace (your dad should see what came outta my 94 jeep, fuel isnt suppost to be dark brown)
battery- test it at local parts store, if bad replace, good overnight trickle charge

dont forget oil change if its due, and inspect the belt/pulleys

haha i forgot about those steeda tips!! did u see what i did? i ended up dremeling off the inner exhaust tip on each side of my catback... looks legit now. looks like an exhaust should

that sounds like a deal... but i want to see if the basics will fix her up before i go and buy other things... if the tune up doesnt work, $40 will be coming ur way lol

Yeah, they look really good, I saw your thread back when you did it.

I finished putting the SRA back in yesterday, so I'm not running dumps anymore, and the tips are a nice touch, and quiet it down a bit.

Hope you get it running right.

I'm going to get another degree, possibly my masters, and I'm leaving home and going to live in an Apt on campus. I won't have the time/money to road race for quite a while, so I'm converting to a drag setup, with a Manual valvebody 4R70W and I already have the SRA in. New MT's are being delivered, hopefully the car will see consistent 10.2-10.1's, with slightly more power added.

Just something to do on the weekends while I'm away at school, and i didn't want the extra weight of the IRS/bracing.

I had a thread in OT about it

I wouldnt go with anything but NGK TR series spark plugs. And i think TR55's are stock heat range...or maybe it was the TR7's. Its one of the 2 and i have neither. Im running TR6's and they run great. Dont really know how much different spark plugs would change the butt dyno but id go with stock heat range.
