I just got my spark plugs changed @ 60,000

to NGK Iridium...

I didn't know OEM was NGK Iridium also...

Anyways it was pretty hard taking off all the stuffs out just to find those 3 plugs behind all the stuffs.

Anyways the price was reallly reallly super reasonable

so if any guys in Los Angeles Areas wants to get hook up price PM me

for spark plug changes + brake pad blah blah all those stuffs


next week I have to change my brake pad + Axel boot? cuz mine ripped and I'm leaking grease on my stock wheels :(

This guy is my gf's friend and he gives super cheap labor fees...

and I get my parts from online sooo he just charges me really cheap price

Iridium plugs are good up to 100,000 miles. Glad you got a head start and you're right about the 3 in the back, did you replace the plenum gasket seals after you removed them or put everything back the way it was? Only reason I know, was because I was looking at doing some stuff and had to order those parts, I think there were like 3 total seals, some where around the neighborhood of $60-$80 bucks total.

Good lookin' out on the hook ups as well.

I just got the bosch platinum 2's. went to change them and it looks like aliens designed the 3.3
Not only are there no wires but the engine is slanted 10 degrees or so to accomodate the width of the heads.
Wicked ass design but It looks like i will have to remove valve covers to get to the hidden plugs

You're lucky to have the cheap labor. CV boot is a PITA job. I don't plan on ever removing the axle of a FWD car again.

Duuude freaking CV boot oh man i've been through it. It's a pain in the ass, it didn't happen in this car but on my prelude that cv grease was getting all over the place when it first tore. Got on the rim and the side of my car and even some on my window. It sucked!
