Changed the spark plugs. They look pretty nasty.

Dropped an engine back into my 2001 prelude (car project #2, #1 is a 1991 MR2 with a Gen3 3SGTE in it) this afternoon. I am finishing up an H23A swap. Maybe another three hours' worth of work before I turn the key. My body hurts.

Put the front end on the ducati back together and torqued everything to spec. Also swapped in the new tank, which ended up being a messy clusterfuck of gas spills everywhere.

Changed out my coolant, oh, and the entire cooling system with it.

Going to help my old FSAE team on a 'test and tune' day.
Oh how I wish I knew what I know now when I was a driver in college...

Ugh, it's been a while.
Well, I just replaced the catalytic converter on my 05 Equinox. Was throwing a P0420. While I had the cat out, I noticed I could reasonably easily access the back sparks plugs with the pipe out of the way. I had already attempted to do plugs once, the front was easy, but the back was TERRIBLE. I ended up reversing my work and put it off for another day, which ended up being yesterday.
Anyhoo, new plugs and new cat and the car seems to be running a LOT better. While it is no speed demon, it does accelerate noticeably better than it used to.

Lulz, well it sounds like the submarine belt worked... but you poor bastards got a 5-point harness, not a 6-point. I too have learned that lesson!

Lol, it was never set up right so when I hit the brakes I slid forward 5 inches or so. I couldn't get off the Gas. Had to use the clutch but at the same time I was in a weird position so I had to push my self on the pedals to get back into position. It was ok for most of the track except slowing for slaloms which I plowed though spectacularly.

Hehe, I don't know if that's better or worse than shattering your testicles...
How'd you guys do overall?
