I must say that I very much enjoyed it. If you have some spare time on your hands I highly recommend it. Of course the next time will be faster I am sure. Thanks to Sharkworksfor answering some novice questions! (Alex is an extreemly nice guy). Getting the coil wires clipped- unclipped was the hardest part.

How did that work out for your knuckles?

You're a braver and more patient man than I.

Hi Mike, seriously my pleasure and glad you took the time to do it I must have changed plugs on cars about 50 times by now lol and it gets faster everytime... I should have mentioned that unclipping those (bling) is tough but it's easier if you don' wear gloves for that part

That would explain the swift kick in the ***!! Thanks buddy, I love you too... He said that my old Skyline was on display, did you see it?? Roger and I, along with couple of other guys, went to Sacramento Raceway...he raced his new Viper SRT-10, Patrick raced the Supra, and I ran the 67 Camaro...Did you go to the HIN afterparty in Ruby Hills???

Also, I need a 'Shark Werks' sticker to put on the race car for the 'Pinks' episode (2nd one) that we are shooting on Friday...

Lee, there is a DIY on Renntech that was spot on. A very good step by step. Fortunately, I do have time on my hands right now, which I think is the key to this DIY.

Haha... Yeah I did man. Oh jeez... Misuimi and Francine Dee are out of control! Never again man.. NEver!

I saw a couple of Skyline's but I didn't know which one was yours? There was one with a "crazy" stereo so I thought maybe that one?

Didn't know Roger got the SRT-10? Please don't tell me he bought another "Treynor" car lol? How'd the American Muscle do?

That's why I'm letting James and Alex tackle mine! Save my knuckles for fighting tooth decay.

I think that Dock (Atlanta) and I got ours down to just under 3 hrs. Then again, it is much easier when you have two people doing it...

That was for the first time, Alex. I think that it was closer to 2.5hrs, actually. Once we got the parts off, we only did one plug at a time. It wasn't the both of us the full time and we spent a good bit talking and not doing anything at all.
