You have a great car there. Enjoy!
yes, that was me! no worries, i did the valve adjustment myself and got the ignition parts at a steal. valves barely needed adjusting but now i'm fretting over whether i did them correctly or not. iirc the rotor was pretty beat, or maybe it was the cap. i kept the wires around because they're oem but i got a set of karlyns from germany to replace them, same specs. i'm a paranoid car owner, not replacing the usual and cheap standard parts on a new to me car keeps me up at night....

the car is amazing and i'm loving every minute of it! i've got a pretty big task ahead of me taking care of the exhaust issues as well as a tiny bubble of rust coming through the sunroof. looks like someone tried to repair it once before with a bad spray job. other than that i'm just driving it and having a blast!
