Thread: Spark plug questions.

Before you go dropping to a colder plug, what are your current mods if any?

the plug by the o2, put just the socket on the plug, then slide a 3 inch extension past the o2 to the socket. you wont get it all the way in, but enough to break it free.

or if using a real plug socket, its got a bolt on the end, use a box wrench on it.

read up, you need headers before anything else.

A new downpipe will get rid of the ubend, but still isn't enough mods to make the 104s the right choice.

dp flow better, but then theres the do you need a cat where you live, tune it out, add one, and so on. and if you plan to mod just get headers, why waste money on a part your gonna replace again?

headers come with a 3" dp. you will still need to figure out what to do about your cat. 01 up cars dont like the cat gone unless it tuned out.

I also need to clean the throttle body but I'm going to look into it more so I don't hurt the electrical parts in it.

This car is a lot more complicated than what I'm used to working on and it feels like it's a lot easier to screw things up

Only need to pull the MAF when cleaning it. And probably take out the screen in the front too.

It is held in by a snap ring.
But before you do any sorts of mods to your car read this thread, then read it again, then again and again and again. http://www.grandprixforums.net/threa...00-Powered-Car!!

Like Mike said, a snap ring. But be very careful removing the screen, it's very easy to damage it.

You can a front plog and downpipe if you wanted, but they cost more than a set of SD headers. Read stickies and stuff all your questions have been asked and answered.
