Does that shop have website and whats the name? And was it good? Bring your own tools or tools provided?

just google u-wrench calgary. They do rent tools but you have to pay for it, so I just brought my own. you shouldn't need too much more then a socket set, a few wrenches and some allen wrenches to change it out, that was about all I used. It was a really easy job once its up in the air, takes less then an hour. Also I would advise getting there right when it opens in the morning so you don't have to wait for a spot to open up as it's on a first come first serve basis

So I picked up some NGK spark plug wires, from rockauto and would love to say that they make any difference, except the piece of s**t distributor cap I bought along with it came with the shittiest quality screws, All of them broke out in the holes on the distributor, managed to get one of them out, the other two broke off still in the hole even with the easy out, then I tried drilling them out, but the long story short I pretty much effed my dizzy housing. Said eff it lets go coil on plug, saw the price, said NVM, priced them out at the local pick n pull, decided that with how much they were and the fact that it's STILL SNOWING outside, I just picked up a reman-ed one from rockoauto.... I guess the only good thing is that my car is still in the garage and out of the weather... but still...................................... damn

Oucn! Yeah that snow today is not fun..... Snow should be pretty much done by end of April though.

I doubt it, we usually get a pretty decent dump of snow in may as a final giant middle finger

Seems to run fine now, I don't know but it's almost like it fixed itself, but I doubt that and i'm sure it will die again shortly. Nothing I'm not used to courtesy of the Celica. Anyways I've gotta get a few engg assignments done and then I'm going to go over it and make sure nothings leaking or anything

Nice! Funny thing, I'm heading into engineering this fall! Can't wait to see how this comes along during the summer.
