Well, that'* totally cool then. Before I left for my gf'* this evening I gave a little look-see under the hood just to get a visual on where the current plugs are and if they'd be a problem getting to. From the looks of it, my first spark plug change shouldn't be any sort of problem......knock on wood. I'll be sure to let you guys know how it goes as soon as I'm finished.

DONE! Finished with wires/plugs and she works like a charm. The plugs were in pretty bad shape. Wish I had a camera to have you guys see what I saw. I'm glad I decided to do the tune-up.
Duration of project: Roughly 90 minutes, including a trip to the hardware store to get a spark plug socket which I thought I had in my car, but didn't.
Back plugs weren't too much of a hassle, I'm surprised. I was thinking they'd put up much more of a fight, but lucked out big time.
Also found out I need a new hood latch cuz mine'* seen better days. I actually took the time to look at everything in my car and it'* all slowly coming together as I recognize things.
Thanks again guys,
Nick

Excellent news Niko.
For me it started with a plug change on a 94 SE. I now drive a 95 SSEi, that I'm in the process of turning into a speed beast.

Morty'* right Niko. It starts out innocently enough. Then you wake up one morning in a cold sweat and realize you've been dreaming about buying an old wreck and building a blown 500HP beast, lol.
Glad you got it done. Should give you enough confidence to start another project.
