Dont ever buy plugs from the dealer.. I get them at cost and I wouldnt even buy from our parts department. Customer price is generally 120 bucks for plugs.. n54 plugs are almost 30 bucks a piece.

how much was it, thats like 2 min from my house?

2.70 a plug. Sure beats 12.00 from Tischer although im not sure what kind of plug the salesman was looking up

Brief Update, I was able to pick up the plugs at Olympic Auto Parts in CP/ Berwyn Heights (301-474-1030). Joe was very familiar with my car as well as the shops project '75 2002. All in a days work!

post it up on the forum there has to be someone with an 88 that wants a plastic bumper swap. prob get atleast 100 for it.

That'd be great. $100 was what I was thinking. I'm not shipping, but I might be convinced to deliver, or meet halfway...

sooooo.. Let's just say that I had a rear plastic bumper that I needed to sell.
If I came up, would anyone take it off my hands for a decent price?

Red, decent, shocks and brackets included.
Off hand, I don't know what the market is, but I can probably beat it. Not trying to GIVE it away, though.

rear plastics are worth much less than fronts. 1.) because early model have to mod the bumper to fit if it tries to retrofit it. 2.) most people are lazy and keep the diving board on the rear so fronts get sold fast. and rears are blah.

Question guys:

Does anyone have or know about a dealership hookup here in MD?

I cant find the Bosch Supers ANYWHERE!

[thereisnoyun]

i can bring my 5er, and we can change my crazy spark plugs. although i might want to do that at my house, in case the problem is major.

also have all new radiator hoses to put on (upper, lower, and bypass)

hey yun, pm me your addy, and whens a good time to show up?

pmed. if you want to show up pm me. remember this is my day to work on the cars, and I'll be happy to give you a hand or you give me a hand when I need it.

its not a hand holding day. I got stuff I gotta do on my own ride.

[thereisnoyun]

I hate promising that Ill be at these events because something ALWAYS manages to come up, but I'll certainly try..

Things to do:
Oil
Oil Filter
Air Filter
Spark Plugs

If you do your oil change here, you better bring you own drain pan and holder bottle. Cause mine is cracked... but seriously, you could do all that in 30 min.
