thanks!
i don't know what is better or worse
coil packs or distributor caps
coil packs don't need to be replaced as often but when the break it's big $$$ to fix, whereas distributor caps need more maintenance but are cheaper to fix

I've had mine for 35,000 miles.
Only time anyone else touched it was for new tires and alignment.
So far I've done new suspension, coolant flush, rear differential oil change, seven oil changes, new battery, new accessory belt, new side markers and front grill repair.
Wow. That's a lot of stuff...

My car is still under warranty and so I try to look for things that I can get fixed for free. But for everything else I take it to the Japanese auto care he charges 3rd of everything that dealer would charge and install all the genuine parts for me. Very trustworth guy, I stand there and get all the work done on my Baby LEX.
