All of this because he didn't think he needed to install a KB BAP to his factory fuel system..... One test drive, and kaboom.

BAP? Big **** Pump?
I photo-chopped in a chin spoiler from 2K7 Vista GT's car and a tri-bar grille emblem. Yep, that is the plan for next year...

Well ordered and paid for the hi-def camcorder on Sunday, and opted for expedited shipping. It was shipped out yesterday morning, overnight air delivery. UPS shows up today- 2x; and no one was home to sign for the friggin' thing. Love throwin' money down the drain LOL.

Well, I understand that the Spoiler Fairy is holding on to one for me.
I have about 9,800 miles and I got a little nervous after hearing about how the plugs can be a pain to get out. Especially if they separate, so I decided to pull the spark plugs out, clean them and apply the anti-seize.
No problems; they all came out easily. One had some gummy carbon. The others were just dirty. But there was definitely carbon right at the seating chamfer on all of them. I used a small screwdriver to knock the carbon off. I applied the anti-seize on the first plug and installed it. I decided to see how much of the anti-seize squished out so I took the plug back out. It seemed to pick up a lot of crud from the spark plug bore, so I wiped it off and reapplied the anti-seize and did the final install. Did the same to the remaining plugs.
Started right up...
