I wish i could line up the enginers that design stupid things like this and kill them all.


Number one reason i destest and hate working on cars because of frustating pain in the rear things like this, why cant they make things Easy to work on?? Seriously?

I've built 3 cars from the frame up, and stripped over 100 so it wasn't anything out of reach to do, it was just a MAJOR pita.

I just had the motor in my 240sx blow on me.

After I spend grueling time putting that car together, and im trying to look at the spare one.. what do they do? Hard to reach bolts, seized bolts, bolts that cant be reached with a socket or wrench....


I hate engineers.

Haha. Yeah, I agree. Changing the plugs is pretty rediculous on this engine. I look at it every now and then and ask, couldn't they have put the TB on the driver's side and put the battery on the passenger side? It would have made things so much better. Better weight balance, room over the engine for strut tower braces. I'm sure Toyota could have engineered a smaller TB for this engine and car.

So which plugs did you finally go with?

Sounds like a reason to switch to the turbo head... start to finish in under 5 minutes for me
