    I went through all this shit....

    ...to change god damn spark plug number 1.

    The exhaust manifold is flipped around in my car to accommodate the turbo, and it was right in the way of removing the spark plug. My friend and I unbolted the turbo from the downpipe, the coolant and oil lines and had to take the exhaust manifold off to be able to remove it...

    BUT it fixed my problem. Whenever I went around 4000rpm in 2nd or 3rd, the entire car jerked, the problem was the spark plug gap. Minimized the gap and it solved my problem.

    Got a few good pics though :up:







    I took this one from my window...

              I just got the car in January, this is the first time I've changed them. It wasn't me who did the wacky turbo job either haha. It works well, but it was done on a tight budget.

                And how many time do you expect to do it? Its probably the last before the car blows up so I wouldnt worry about it.

                  Lol. It was a pretty tight budget.. the plug can be changed by a combination of tools,

                  :P It wont blow up though,
                  it was turbo'd since 115k kms and has 147k now I believe.
                  First turbo'd in 06

                  but lol.. Paint that boost piping! :D

                    didn't know you were on the forum Mitch haha. Yeah I finally got it done... it took a while though. It also fixed that damn bucking thing. I think it was definitely the plug gap.

                        thanks , i like them, but they're not really the look im going for. If i come across the right set of wheels i think i'll sell them.
