yep, was a very disgusting day, but oh well next time will be a little different. We need to find us a place to practice those 60's.

well i believe i now know why my car was running like total ass this past sunday at the track
well earlier this year i had to went to a local parts store ::name will remain unsaid:: and asked for some spark plugs for a cobalt and the woman said we dont have a listing for them yet but ill cross reference them with others and see if i got one that will work...well she comes back about 5 min later with some ngk's and said here this will work in your car...i put them in the car and everything is fine ::this was about 7 months ago:: well i put the exhaust on last thursday and i could tell there was a slight ::barely even noticeable:: miss to the car so i asked my g/f to get me some plugs while i was at work so i could change them out b4 the track day...well she went to a few part stores and no1 had any in they would have to order them..so i said forget it ill do it monday...well yesterday i got up and called a parts store that had order the plugs for me...ill pull the old ones out and set the plugs side by side....the ngks i had gotten 7 months ago where a 1/16 BIGGER than the plugs i just got i was like wtf....so i put the new plugs in to see if maybe this guy gave me the wrong plugs...well i start the car up and take it for a spin the car is running 100% better than what it did sunday...so i get back here take one of the ngks into the house and do a search on the number on the side of the plug...well low and behold the damn plug goes into a 2.8 or 3.5 GMC CANYON...i proceeded to call the women i got the plugs from every name under the book when i found this...but i shouldnt of took the plugs in the first place i should of just went somewhere else....so its kinda my fault i took them...but anyways i think this was my whole problem sunday with my car...but i wont be finding out till nov.19th at the next southeast meet at steele...so im hoping ill be getting the times i was wanting then if not better b/c ill have more mods
