IT'S ALIVE!!!! and runs better than ever. Not one backfire. Broke plug was the problem. I'll race from a dig I don't care. Give me the hit since you're on tires and we can get it done! I can't go into 4th after racing a few gears tho, think it's the slave or pressure plate or somethin...****** sucks so ya a dig to top of 3rd is good for me.

I just want to clarify something here, you have the O2's mixed up. The FRONT O2's are used for closed loop operation, they report to the pcm about fueling and are what ultimately affect the fuel trims, so DO NOT remove them. The REARS can be removed, as all they do is monitor the cats.
edit: also, NGKs are not just for imports, they are a copper core plug and will fire hotter than the iridiums or platinum plugs. They will also provide more performance. You really can't beat a copper core plug for performance, however they do not last quite as long as the others. This is not a concern though really, because the ignitions in these cars are so hot that the NGKs will last a very long time if your fueling is spot on. I know of people pulling them after 50k mils and they still look great.

Bosch plugs are ftl..... had them in the wife's 2v and they lasted all of 3 months before I pulled them. Now has autolite platinums and running better than ever. DO NOT BUY BOSCH.
