so before i owned an FD i had an FB. changing the oil and plugs was childs play. so i thought the FD, being it has the same engine layout couldnt be that much harder. WRONG!!!

first i had to lift the car up to get the lift legs under it. then i had to put 2x4s so i wouldnt crush the sideskirts. that was the easy part...

then i went and decided to change the plugs...is there an easy way to do this?? i spent like 2 hours trying to get them off. the hardest was the trailing 1, nothing but wires and harnesses on its way. after i finally i get it out and install the new one, i realised that i had install a leading plug instead of a trailing...

cant wait to have to change the wires...



then last nite i almost crash it....(see gen d)

 

I did mine from the bottom. No problems.



Having a lift always helps, though. :]

 

yeah, when i looked from underneath i couldnt really see them and since it was so damn easy on the FB....next time though.

 

i gotta replace my plugs too.... i heard the best way is underneath.



oh yeah.... paco bunch of the rx7 people are hangin out next saturday again, some people from canada are driving down (weather permits)

 

when and where? what section are u guys gonna post ***** about this, just so i know where to look...lol

 

in gen d.... actually there hasnt much post whoring about it.... lol colinrx7 and defprun is driving down from canada

 

You can take off the intake elbow and get reasonable access to the plugs. I have done mine several times like that.

I did my plug wires when I had my UIM and TB off and it was still a pain in my ***. The oil fill gets in the way too so I loosened that up too. Good luck!

 

it should take 20 min including time jacking up the car. just make sure not to cross the trailing plug wires. the leading wont matter but the trailing will go boom if crossed.

 

im not too sure if i got the right leading on, but i made damn sure i knew which trailing was which. the car runs fine, so im gessing my guess on the leading wires was correct...
