I figured I`d cross post this since some of you guys like doing your own maintenmence/modifacations.
Recently, I discovered a pretty large oil leak and a misfire on cylinders 3 & 4 and a ballast went out to boot. It`s been running rough, to be honest I though it was motor mounts but apparently I was wrong. Being this is my DD and I`ve noticed a slow and gradual loss of MPG over the years, Well anyway`s it`s about time to overhaul the R.
The complete list of parts.

The car now runs like a swiss watch, I used to have mild vibration in the cabin. I now have next to none, MPG has improved by atleast 20% but time will tell, no more oil leaks, throttle response is much better. Engine temps, the big winner, the engine runs ICE COLD. The intake manifold never gets more than 85F (I`ll test it with a heat gun soon). I can actually touch it and it feels luke warm, not hot. The OTE pipe is also MUCH cooler, atleast 30-40 degree`s less (I suspect it`s from the DEI wrap, better engine coolant but most most of all the harness from the oils dissapating the heat.)
Thanks to Connor at Viva and Southbay Injectors!
