Today I was able to change the spark plugs and wires on the car, Man it runs way better than before.. Ran into a few issues with an old spark plug wire being stuck on the spark plug but here are some pics for you guys. also placed an order at luxury mods for some cross drilled and slotted rotors and also picked u still braided brake lines. will update that soon as it comes in..

the funny thing is you can probably get 900$ for those rims alone lol.

The car is almost free at that point.

good job sir

Good stuff so far. Id stay away from luxury mods though. They have always marked there prices too high.
