The painted trim pieces really give the interior a premium feel.

Wow... Just put brand new AC Delco Iridium plugs in the fox, (Figured out a name for it, I always name my cars...) The old plugs had 103,660 miles on them, just put the new plugs in and man, it is amazing how much of a difference new plugs makes in a car... It doesn't Idle funky anymore idles nice and smooth and pulls harder than it did before... The fox has its spunk back grin emoticon Took some friends for a ride and they were amazed at what this little thing could do... Didn't know it was a GoBalt...

Eddie, put some black and white seat covers on the seats and you'll be set. What'd you use to paint the trim pieces?

Hey, Rissa, are you male or female? Too lazy to check your post history.

I went to an Ecotecs BBQ and someone mentioned there was a former meet regular who now owns a C6 Z06, but they said it was a female. Wondering if it's you.

I put new ngk iridiums in last weekend, and it seemed to pep up the engine a bit.

Also improved my gas mileage slightly.

Its probably worth doing the plugs once a year if you drive all year round.

I change my plugs every 10-15k, which reminds me I need to get new plugs

Depends on driving style, get regular synthetic and get a used oil analysis. A guy local to me could get 7k out of regular synthetic, he drove the highway a lot so not a lot of stop and go

Found a sweet sale on a 250ft/lbs torque wrench and breaker bar. Both as a combo 60$. It's Mastercraft, which is Canadian tires brand, and basically similar to craftsman tools from sears. This one is actually their "Maximum" line. They also have a lifetime warranty on hand tools, so this should last me forever theoretically. There was a Stanley fat max one almost identical, just black, and it was 180$... Think I got a sweet deal! Should help with the header install.
