Default Did some maintenance on Rue

Did a trans fluid and filter change plugs and wires and oil change hardest part was the spark plugs. Anyone got some tips for me next time didnt like changing any of the rear plugs at all and for a bit there actually had my arm caught between the alternator and firewall. Also could someone pm me to help me with upload photos everytime i try it fails and ive tried everything i can think of?

Anyways in other notes next summer i should have this close to be paid off and will be doing the mods and im going to have to do some paint work. From all the driving my neighbor did going back and fourth from machesney park to milwaukee he got alot of lil chips on the hood and front fascia and i could kick him square in the *** for trying to use dupont brush on touch up paint.

also any recommendations on brake/suspension packages?

For the back plugs, this is the easiest I have found is to remove the back side coils and bracket. I does take a few minutes to do but gives you quite a bit of room for it.

If you got big arms you can remove the front motor mount and ,pull the engine forward. Butmy dads arms fit without doing that so you should be fine.

For pictures upload them to photobucket then post the [IMG] Link here.

Heres a writeup.
