I know that feeling!! My landrover gave no warning before it threw a rod through the block and then all the white smoke started. Losing an engine sucks!

I know that game, I had a mitsubishi montero and one night in the middle of January in Colorado during a snow storm BOOM! engine took a dump. No warning whatsoever

Sorry for your loss, going to replace it?

Put some new pioneer 3 days in the back doors until I find time and funds to put in the components, quite the upgrade over the stock speakers that were in the back. and they were free. Win.

I used the AC Pro on mine as well

I just finished up the tune up! Put everything together and started it up and I could tell it wasn't right No CEL yet so I revved it a bit to get it to come on and it did! That's when I walked down to the Porsche shop and kindly asked to borrow their scanner. Sure enough stupid me crossed the 4 and 6 wires on the cap. I had switch them or so I thought anyway due to the plug boot differences. Well turns out I took them off and put them right back on the same spots lol. Switched them around and now shes purrin like a kitten 140,xxx miles and still original plugs wires cap and rotor man I should have done this a long time ago! Its a night and day difference in smoothness and acceleration!
Old plugs and of course anti seize for the plugs and dielectric grease for all the boots

Yup its ugly!

And all the new. I hope these MSD wires work out ok and please no one hate me for using them lol

Tried to put one of the speakers in, realize that the built in speaker grill in the door panel is in the way a bit, going to pull the panels tonight and cut um up with a dremel on the inside to make some room.
