| well, I picked up my spark plugs and some seafoam, first I did a top end cleaning with the seafoam, it went pretty well, my friend sean and I decided to take it to this huge abandoned parking lot to avoid pi$$ing off his neighbors, but I definitely noticed a difference, that hesitation it was having when shifting, or when i'd go wot isn't there anymore.. then I pulled my door panel off, went to ace hardware and picked up a few things (I spent a grand total of $2.35) and decided to go a few rounds with my door handle.. I was pretty sure I had it fixed, so I put the panel back on and closed the door.. and notta, so I pulled it off again and mcguyvered another setup, threw it all back together.. and bam.. fixed beats the hell out of buying a new handle for 60 and some change.. but I spent too long on that, and ran out of sunlight.. so spark plugs are tomorrow.. along with cleaning my driverside door panel haha.. quite the mess i made | |

| Back 3 are no fun. If you havent looked already there is a section in the FAQ site that explains how to do it. | |

| I've found the best way to get to the back three is to pull it up on ramps, use a long extension and change them from underneath! | |

Me too. I get #6 from standing on the driver side, 2 & 4 I lay over the top of the motor to reach. I unbolt the heater hoses from the bracket to allow my hand to get to those plugs. Tools I just use a 1/4 flex head rachet, 1/4 - 3/8 adapter and a deep socket and I can reach them all. Keep the mindset "YOU CAN DO IT"! (make sure the engine is cold) | |

| You can do all three back from the top passenger side. Removing the engine lift brackets makes it easier. I've never needed to unbolt the hoses, though. _________________ '05 GTO 6.0L • 6-spd • 95k miles • 0-60: 4.8s • 16.9 avg MPG • Nelson Ledges Lap: 1:26'95 Celica GT 2.2L • 5-spd • 165k miles • 0-60: yes'98 SC Riviera • 281k miles • 298 HP/370 TQ • 0-60: 5.79s • ET: 13.97 @ 99.28 • 4087 lb • 20.1 avg MPG • Nelson Ledges Lap: 1:30 3.4" pulley • AL104 plugs • 180º t-stat • FWI w/K&N • 1.9:1 rockers • OR pushrods • LS6 valve springs • SLP headers • ZZP fuel rails KYB GR2 struts • MaxAir shocks • Addco sway bars • UMI bushings • GM STB • Enkei 18" EV5s w/ Dunlop DZ101s • F-body calipers EBC bluestuff/Hawk HP plus • SS lines • Brembo slotted discs • DHP tuned • Aeroforce • Hidden Hitch^^^ SOLD ^^^ '70 Ninety-Eight Holiday Coupe 455cid • 116k miles^^^ SOLD ^^^ | |

Do the lift brackets go into the exhaust manifold? It's been a couple weeks I don't remember. I remember I was scared it would turn into a cluster fµ k if I started messing with that. The heater hose bracket was just a single bolt on top that held the two hoses together. Simple to get to that allowed my hand in there a lil easier. That may be 95 specific? Obviously theres a couple ways to get to it. | |

| I didn't notice much of a difference, but I haven't seen that idling problem all day.. seafoam made a big difference though, I need to run it through my injectors as well | |
