Lights up lol, its a panel from a retail store display that normal has some lond of translucent Picture in it.
Yours for free, if not we tossing it

 

I don’t know what I’d do with it lol

What does it look like plugged in?

 

No clue lol. My dad brought it home because he does signage work too and he thought it was cool but we dont need it.

I found it.

 

That's perverse. I wanna do a nice lift on it and make a real trail limo now haha. Damn, couldn't have picked a weirder vehicle to stretch

 

Throw some tracks on it and cruise the mountain roads

 

Can you imagine making sliders for that and skids haha. The frames on 80s are fully boxed and double wall on the outside wall, I cannot imagine how they made the stretch potion strong enough.

 

my dad hit it right on haha

 

Looks like shit is about to get real, large thunderstorm with high winds.

 

Looks like I've been recruited to change the spark plugs and a bad coil pack on a 2006 Kia Optima this Friday. It will be my first time doing plugs on a transverse V6. Any tips? I've looked at pretty much all the U-Tube videos I could find on the subject. Just wish I could find a torque spec guide for the intake plenum. There is no Kia forum thats worth a dang either.

 

You’re fucked.

I helped a friend do the spark plugs on a 2000 Toyota Sienna with the traverse v6.

Wow that job sucked. Toyota wanted $600 to do the rear spark plugs because of sheer amount of labor it endures. On the Sienna you have to remove the entire intake manifold, a lot of vacuum lines, the whole shebang. That job took us three days.

For spark plugs.

 

You'll get faster, it looks bad and the first time it might be bad but removing intakes on transverse engines is pretty common

 

I’m lucky it was on a Toyota Sienna with lots of documentation and ease of design. Couldn’t imagine doing it on a newer Ford or GM for example.

 

I've lived in the desert southwest and have experienced some nasty ones. It's been my experience that they can be reliably predicted. I've been living in in the norther plains now for six years and here they can pop up unexpectedly. One can go to bed with nothing on the radar and nothing on satellite only to be woken hours later by thunder, wind and pouring rain. The weird part is some of these storms are never in the forecast

 

well.. you have a good collection of cars going... You can get a picture that has Bartmasters used cars!

 

Way ahead of you.

 

Based on what Ive read/saw I dont have to remove the entire Intake manifold, just the upper half. But the gasket kit I got has the lower manifold gaskets, so I may go deeper. The shop he took it too wanted $775 to do it, I said I dont care if it takes all day, I refuse to let him pay that.

 

It’s doable. It’s just very tedious.

Have a friend with small hands, there’s lots of spaces you’ll have to get just by feel.

Maybe you can get to the plugs under the car?

 

Your neighbors must hate you. Why can't you just be normal and have three Corollas, one Celica, one HiLux and one Paseo like my Korean neighbors in So Cal?
