Anyone replace their spark plugs themselves yet?

I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt here and assuming that the the issue is with energy suspension (the bushing sub-supplier) rather than Perrin. But yeah, it's ridiculous, I'm an engineer and have access to all kinds of weird fastener suppliers and still can not find what I really want (which would be a stud and flange bolt to better distribute the load compared to the released design)

My issues are outlined here. I've worked around most of them, but I still have a better design in my head I have been unable to implement.

Also, +1 on the exhaust setup . What SC did you go with? My car will be paid off within the next 6 months, so it might be time to force some air in there

I have the Sprintex 210 kit. I got it used 2 years ago for $1200 off so I couldn't pass it up. If I were to buy a new one I'd get the Edlebrock kit as it has a much better design and much more power potential.

Oil filter on top is one of the best parts however.

.... on my previous factory NA cars that I boosted - I always changed the plugs with every other oil change....

My turbo Si - I went through 4 sets of $50 iridiums. All that enrichment for charge cooling fouls them up a lot quicker than you'd think.
