plug change woes Would it be a bad idea to just change 4 of the plugs and change the others at another time? I just cannot change any of them on the passenger side of the car. The plugs that I tood out (tr55) weren't in bad shape, but I went ahead and changed them anyway. I was wondering if it would do any damage to the car if I just waited to let someone else change the others. Your info. would be greatly appreciated.
Just seems like i cannot get in there at all...

That's what I did first time I changed them - driver's side one day, passenger side days later after I got up the courage. You should be able to get 2, 4 and 6 with just removing the air tube.
Your first mistake is doing the driver's side first! You always start with the harder one 
These are the steps i take to do my plug change. Remove coil packs (your's are easy cause they're on a rail). Your last coil pack bolt on the passenger side is a BITCHHHH, once it's out of the car, throw that bastard away and never put it back in. after this is done, remove it put it aside. The number 8 plug is very easy to get to from UNDER the car, especially with LT headers. After the plug is out and back in, put the plug wire on the plug from under the car as well. I like to plug that wire onto the coil pack itself from under the car also.
Here are some tools that i like use when changing plugs, makes things alot easier. That swivel 5/8 socket is the ****. The wobble head 3" 3/8 extension also makes things alot easier. Just a matter of having enough tools if you asked me
