Default Got to know my new baby a bit better today...

Well I finally had time to get to work on this car today. Had to run it to dealer this am so they could fix the antenna they screwed up a couple weeks ago while working on the 3rd brakelight.. Get over there and the antenna they were sent was the wrong one. So they offered me a free oil change with Mobil 1 and a full tank of gas. So I went ahead and had em change the oil since I was gonna do that today anyway. Get it home and it has some Fram filter on it. So I promptly took that off and switched it out for the AC filter I had already. So that's done. Took airbox off to put the new AC filter in - guess what - it already had a K&N in it =D>.. SWEET. But the weatherstripping that sealed the box to the filter was pretty used up, so I scraped and cleaned that all off and redid that so no dirt would get in there. Funny thing was I went to dump out the airbox (little bits of junk in it) a 10mm nut fell out of it. No idea where the heck that came from - but glad I found it. Changed out the PCV valves. Changed the plugs - looked like the originals were still in it - they had some rust on the nut part and were the FRS2C or whatever came in it. I put in AC 61-402s. Had no problem with #8 - used that Blackhawk swivel sparkplug socket someone mentioned. Piece of cake. #7 was a little entertaining however.. Torqued plugs to 20 and used anti-seize. I also fabbed up a debris screen for the radiator. Took a piece of aluminum gutter cover screen that I got at Home Depot for $2.32 and cut it to fit the length, then removed the two clips and moved them even with the foglight bolt holes, reattached them, when I straightened them out to fit the piece where the bolt comes through there was already a square hole there that a 1/4" bolt fit through. I used 1/4x3/4 hex bolts with a washer and nut. Drilled 2 holes in the side of the air dam and zip tied the bottom on each side. Painted black. Here are the pics of that:









I also got all the glass Rain-X'ed and cleaned on the inside. I'm one tired puppy right now...LOL
