holy crap dude that makes my engine look clean! No offense I know how it goes. Sometimes other things are more important. but since you had good luck with that intake I may have to get one for my car.


After I do my valve seals/valve gaskets I plan on detailing my engine as well

CAI looks good. Just clean that engine and it will probably run 5 degrees cooler.

Yeah, I live on a gravel road at home, and keeping it clean is a pain.
But I'll be on asphalt all summer, so that should be easier to keep clean!

Umm... I did plugs and wires about 12,000 miles ago.
My radiator cap went bad and it boiled over, spewing coolant all over my engine.
So, I replaced the plugs and wires at that point to solve a short in the wires caused by the hot water.
They are nothing great, just whatever Autozone had, I was going for inexpensive. lol

that's cool. again, I know how that goes. when I do my wires I'm probably gonna get some ford racing or MSD ones that are 9mm and are red to give some color to my underhood.


how many miles are on your car? out of curiosity. I got just under 112000. I did my PLUGS at 104000. Need to do the wires soon

I've got 140,000 on my car. But I'm hoping this summer to drop in a whole 99+ motor rather than doing the PI head swap.
But yeah, I would like to do the same thing with the MSD wires, I like a little color too.

What kind of plugs did you put in when you did yours?
