Default Hey Bluewasp....I need your help!

I was wondering if you have another mod party planned? I want to change the plugs and wires in my C5 and I know I will need help with some of them. Some of the plugs look like a PITA to get at....especially the rear one on the drivers side.

Anyway......let me know if you have something planned for this summer.

Thanks!

Hey, Nothing right now. I'm busy until around mid June with work and other house hold projects that I need to finish. I still need to unpack from the move! If it's something simple I could help after work one day.

plugs and wires should be a simple job. Nothing like drilling out broken exhaust studs or swaping out an intake! j/k!!

If its happens on an evening during the week (2 weeks from now), I'll come by and help. I've never changed plugs on a C5, so i'd rather attempt it someone elses car before I attempt it on mine.

REMEMBER... I"M A JERK SO I'M NOT SURE IF YOU ALL WANT MY HELP ANYMORE!!!

crazy: :o

Yes, during the week after work would be best for me. Plug swap shouldn't take more then a few hours.

Would that work for you? This week I'm really busy with work. Next week would work and if you can wait 2 weeks; lowcash wants to come by.

That will work. I'm in no hurry. I haven't even bought the parts yet.

A few hours?

Need to let the engine cool down... After that should be quick.

Make sure to get some dielectric grease. quest, pep girls, etcc... should have everything. Are you going with NGK for spark plugs? What kind of wires? MSD, stock, taylor?
