don't use a hose to wash the engine bay. the optispark (optical distributer) is very sensative to water.

and if it has any number of miles over 80k clean out the MAF. BE VERY CAREFUL! DO NO BREAK THE TINY WIRES!

A lot of us don't go through mud with them, or tape 5 minutes of speedometer, or break the ten bolt on a high speed run either.

Advice: Everything that's stated.

If you wait around you can find good deals on things like a CAI intake or catback. There's always stuff for sale somewhere.
