Can anyone here recommend a reliable place around Des Moines that can do a rear main seal replacement and front cover seal replacement? I really don't have time to figure out how to do this on my own, but I wanted at least to know if there is a place around here that may be able to do this without messing up things too much. Otherwise I will be taking this car out to A Spec in Shaumburg.

I'd say two things-

Time'n - switch spark plugs or harness to the coils
Switched injectors connectors - From harness

I'd check your colors and make sure u installed it right.

The coil pack is very easy to switch along with injectors.

Hey fellas. Sorry I've been gone a while, had some things to take care of. The Subaru's the daily driver now, the rx7 is on hiatus, the RE5 has good compression on all seals but is a wiring nightmare, and the Accord is under the knife for some major repairs before next season's autoX starts. So, winter meet, anyone?
