Changed/New:
Spark plugs. (They were "OK" But were about due for a change)
Spark plug wires. (Were rotting/chewed on...that's the AZ sun and rabbits for you though)
Battery. (Dead, dead, and did I mention way past DEAD)
Oil and filter. (Actually not bad at all, but that's probably because I changed it not to long before it was parked)
FIPK air filter. (The EBAY filter/CAI couplers were dry rotted, so I went back to the stock piece with the K&N.
Emptied the gas tank and put in a gallon of new gas with some Seafoam. (used about a forth of the can with 1 gallon of 91, the old gas looked yellow-orange)
Rewired the MAF. (Again, the rabbits out where I used to live got to it)
Yet to change:
Fuel filters. (Honestly just forgot)
Coolant. (Have a bottle in the garage, just didn't have time before work)
Belts. (Ordered some, waiting for them to get here and then I'll order the rest)
O2s. (Changed 1 before it was parked and have 1 more to do, damn engine code)
Reverse. (It pops out and then grinds unless I hold it in place. Could that have to do with the linkage or?)
Well anyway the car runs and drives...in my driveway at least. Has a lot of lifter tick but it started to quiet down a bit...still pretty loud though. I'm thinking of using some of the Seafoam in the oil unless told otherwise? But either way, how long should I wait until I change the oil again?
Once all this is done it's on to the body and interior...ugh.

Wow man, no kidding! You probably remember Nicole, she was with me at the auto show last Nov... Her parents home burned to the ground about a month ago. How are you guys doing now?

Yeah I remember meeting her, I'm really sorry to hear that, give her my condolences on the loss of the house for me.
We're not doing too badly, my parents bought a home in Surprise and are doing fine. And I went ahead and found myself a home out in Buckeye (it's where I could afford) and moved in on Aug. 28th. Already had a LOT of things go wrong with it but got most of it worked out now...besides the huge hole in my master bedroom wall where 90k bees use to live. Had to do it myself too as the bee people (no matter who we called) wanted between 4k-10k to remove them. It wasn't fun...at all. Haha.
But as you can see I got the car running so that's a plus, but it needs a TON of work before it's drivable. How's your car running these days? And did you ever find a home in phx...at least I think that's where you were looking?
Hey congrats on getting your car back up and running! We should all meet up sometime!

I'm always up for a meet, I even offered to hold a meet at my house but I'm not sure how close everybody is to Buckeye? Haha. To tell you the truth, besides my car, I've never seen the engine bay/interior of another 3kgt/stealth in person! Sad huh!?
