Question

Wait a minute!! You have to actually CHANGE the plugs?? I thought all this unleaded gas/high-energy ignition/extended plug change interval stuff made plug changes optional.

For the record, I have 87,000+ on the original set in my '98. Still runs great. I DID buy a new set about 6 months ago, but when I surveyed how much of job it looked like, I went to another project in the garage that looked a little easier....

I rebuilt the entire brake system on my 911.

OK, let's see the video. Actually the 5 minutes you need to complete the left side would be sufficient.

Hey, do all the Huntsville people want to get together and do a plug swap meeting? We all need to get together sometime at the track or a car show around here. I just got through installing the JDM stage one on my truck, and now I too want to install the plugs (and t-stat). Then I will tie me over for a few weeks....maybe.

I believe Nitro can do it.

My Mechanic, that had never worked on a Lightning, did it in a little over 45 minutes. Granted, he's a skilled Mechanic, but even so, somebody that has done this job several times and is trying to do it very fast CAN do it.

My money is on Nitro!

My money is on Nitro also. I think he has gotten it down to a set procedure that works. I just wish I could do it.
