replaced opti...

replaced plug wires, coil, and opti.
holy crap, these parts must have been bad from the minute i bought the car cuz this thing has never had this much power before.

<------------- ME the whole time im driving it

its always had plenty of power, but wow. i hit the gas at a stop sign and the car just sat there while the tires were spinning. only time the tires would spin before is if i powerbraked.

i love my car again.

it wasnt too hard to do since i followed a guide. the worst part was getting the crank pulley off. had to go borrow a three-toed puller to do it. was hard to do even with that. but other than that it was a snap.

Maybe I should change mine.
When I first bought my car, it would kick the rear sideways a bit on the 1-2 shift, now it pops out the exhaust on the shift as if I hit a rev limiter.
