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.

Lemme check my schedule, but if you want to get rid of that dvd player maybe we can take the tundra up to aspec Go to Uhaul.com and try to reserve a full car trailer for friday. Its pretty cheap.

The parts keeping rolling in, just waiting on the motor.

Yeah you need to get that car there and come here afterwards so I can see that car. Hopefully I will have most of my stuff together by then too.

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?
