Appreciate the kind words. Yeah, still have it and driving it. It's been good to me and couldn't bare the thought of ever parting with it. =)

Left side, Old Throttle Body Gasket. Right side the new one





On the wet area was the leak.





You can see the debris in the valve cover where the throttle body gasket has the leak. Also, you can see the new PCV Hose and PCV Valve.





News OEM Spark Plugs Wires and Spark Plugs install.

Finally I fix my issue or hesitation on my baby. This is what I found today.

This hose is located very close to the PCV Valve on the intake manifold and NOT on the Throttle Body. The Throttle Body have only 2 hose and that hose is only for keep cool the throttle body. Run only cooland on these hose and is located on the bottom of the throttle body.





The clamp cover the crack on the hose and was undetectable so see the crack on the hose. That can given to many codes like P0300 misfire, air leak, p0430 malfuntion on bank 2 cat manifold. Also, p0420 O2 Sensors. So, before buy parts check this hose and another one very close to this one in U form to see if you have any crack or air leak on it. Simple and inexpensive fix. Lest of $10.00

Today I pulled everything out of my trunk and picked up all of the loose crap at the bottom in the spare wheel well and the left and right side because I got my 12s hitting hard and I was rattling up a storm.




Yesterday I test fitted my Maya's. The 305/25s are a little wide, I can fit them if I added a little camber but I'm just gonna go down to some 285s.






I test fitted the wheels with 3 of my slim lug nuts and I forgot my socket so they were only handtightend. I'm gonna go back and test fit again and hopefully the wheels sits in more.
