What's That Fluid Again
Looking to change out the plugs and tranny fluid this weekend.
What is that fluid people were talking about that gives you cleaner shifts between 1st and 2nd.
Second..
What plugs should I be running. I don't care if I drop $100 or so on the four, I want the best and coolest running plugs there are.
Ideas????

RE: What's That Fluid Again
I just got tranny diff and brake fluids swapped yesterday, and second somehow seemed harder to engage, or more willing ton engage at only higher rpm's :-P Maybe itll take a short bit of driving to get the new sauce all the places it likes to be, I dont know was kind of weird, though I did go redline, and have had the stiffer dogbone bushing put in. If I can track down achttung (hey dude) for long enough, I just need to get idle turned up a bit, I am not sure if that helps people without the dobone bushings though.

i had the denso ik22 and they are pretty hard to gap to the .028 i was very leary of breaking that little a$$ tip. i now have ngk bkr7e...also im running the redline mt90 gonna try the royal purple next...heard the purple is a little smoother in the shifting...who knows tho...worth a try and same price...i will let you know how the NGK run after i start the car tomorrow(hopefully almost done with the timing belt)

RE: What's That Fluid Again
already smoother today, think it was just the first few miles, the work sheet i believe had like 4 quarts down so should be all set there. Friggin car is killing me this month with maintenance, but I should be set for a long while. At least I found a TIP shipped for a bill, and might have found a replacement bumper, in silver, with a votex lip nonetheless, will get pics tomm [sm=icon_guiness.gif]This pic only to support the fact that beer is in fact awesome and delicious
