Peaty (the admin there) has a lot of really helpful maintenance and installation DIY write-ups.

Changing plugs isn't super difficult, just time consuming. You need to remove some stuff to get to the valve covers (washer fluid, and battery I think) and it really helps to have a small ratchet, several small extensions, and the proper spark plug socket.

Do it yourself!

You'll need some new plugs, a gap checking tool, a plug socket and various attachments, and your best swear words on deck because the job is annoying as hell. :)

You have to take the airbox and washer fluid tank out to get to the plugs IIRC... and it's damn near impossible if the car's still hot.

Check scoobymods.com, I'm sure there's an illustrated step by step writeup on the procedure.

Edit: what Kevin said...

got it
 

got it easier than it looked

And something to hit? :lol: At least that's what I've observed going hand in hand with auto mechanics & swear words...

^^ I've gotten to the point that I'm starting to make up my own swear words...

I would like to know what this consists of....

I could tell you, but I'd have to kill you...

Why did I just get a mental image of Cory looking like Mr "T" saying "Ipiddydistoo"
