I did phase one of my engine bay spruce up. I painted my intake manifold and installed the plug wires I got for Xmas. Phase two is coming soon. :)

Wow. Just WOW. I respect that guy so much and here you guys are just making fun of him! it makes me sad, he is eloquent in his speech, admired in his breadth of vision. Come on guys, get a life, don't cut down the mighty Bubb Rubb. He is a great man worthy of our worship.

Changed my fuel filter - Note to self - Fuel system is pressurized AKA the fuel will come spurting out of the connector the second you unclasp it. Note to self two - gasoline in the eyes is not very comfortable. Note to self three - Gasoline in the eyes also burns.
So there ya have it - fuel filter changed =)

I added a Vento rear tub, and watched Grant use gasoline eye wash.

That does suck! however if your ever in a position to get even one drop of gas in the ear, it will uck yuo up for about 6 hours and burn like hell. also it will throw off your equilibrium so when you try to run to the sink youll just run a crooked line and eat it in the yard :laughing: happened to a buddy of mine twice :laughing:

Here's how you do this.

1. Locate and remove fuse box cover
2. locate and remove fuel pump fuse
3. start car, it will fire, then die
4. Your fuel system is no depressurised
4. Profit

We live and we learn!

ALthought I would like see that guy bite it in the yard!

A drop of gas in the eye or ear will make you appreciate this info. :)
