coming down from pines to south miami for a midpipe? ha thats a long *** drive for a midpipe. all i really need is a pair of jackstands or at the very least another jack like what the 8 comes with to lift the whole front, and to know the sizes of the nuts and bolts cause i was planning on scrapping them and getting stainless steel ones so i dont have to deal with corroded ones again when putting the cat back on

So today I changed my spark plugs. Upon pulling the leading spark plugs I found to my dismay that the old plugs were actually trailing plugs! Why they were in the leading slot I do not know. Last person who touched my plugs was pettit racing who replaced my 2 trailing plugs and that was over 6 months ago so there was no point in calling and complaining. I decided to clean the 2 trailing plugs while I was at it but ended up cracking 1 so I just bought 2 new ones and got them installed properly. At the end of 3 hrs of learning and being late to work about 2 hrs I am now proficient in properly gaping, cleaning, and installing spark plugs =D. I took my car out and ran it down a long straight road and my 8 put a smile on my face that I haven't had in a while. I was very surprised how much those old plugs were robbing me. So remember, check your plugs and check your coils! (Or in caveman's case, check your compression)

I used the same bolts where the midpipe connects to the headers. I would recommend getting new spring bolts that connect the pipe at the other end. i found some at advanced auto parts (autozone didnt have em).

I'm about to pull the trigger on a new R3 but this will be my first stick shift and I'm worried about messing up the clutch and tranny. Anyone have willing to lend me a car and give me a few pointers? I won't need more than a few hours and and can pay a good amount of cash.

I did check with driving schools but they all require you to bring your own car.

I'm in the Fort Lauderdale area and won't need more than a few hours. PM me if your interested, thanks.

I gurantee you won't kill the clutch. Even if its a used car. Its not an impossible art to master. After a week you'll an expert.
