| when you change the plugs on the 4G18..do you have to re-gap the clearance in the plug or does it come pre-set meaning if the NGK factory clearance is the spec for a 4G18... |

| Better performance. The previous owner of the vehicle said it increases speed a little bit. And i paid 200tt for them from a connection the previous owner has. |

Once it reach a certain mileage i change them.
How long a power steering belt does last? I installed a gates belt about 8 months ago and it making noise, the mech tried to adjust it but siad that it needed changing. |

^ ^ ^ whatever u say pal
didn't get any hum when I did the 100k service on Blondie - used all OEM parts from DM (all belts, tensioners and seals), but I not anal, thaz strictly SHO
Prob you got a bad belt
I had NGK Irridiums in my CK for 3 years, ~ 60,000km and they were still good
Running V-Power in Blondie and regular in Silver (she getting irridiums next tune up) |

has anyone here tried using the KYB GR-2 Shocks on their CS's (front and rear)
i want to change out these dotish bumpy riding KYB Excel G's that i have one...
what do you all recommend...OEM or the KYB GR-2 as they claim it gives a smooth ride like OEM with a more solid and sturdy feel to it...also thinking of puttin on some lowering springs to give d car a lil 1.5 inch drop or so.... |
