Ok guys.......Finally got 1 O2 sensor in, the other is waiting on a socket as the one we have is not long enough. Noticed the car acting sluggish the past cuple days and now, It won't idle..Mike is thinking that it is the plugs because he said that the ones he put in have been known to cause this problem so can anyone suggest a better plug that does not cause the idling problem????? Any suggestions will be much appreciated....Thanks!!! He is also wondering where to get a good set of the sway bar end links or as he says "heavy duty" cuz he read the OEM ones are week??????

Most people find that the stock plugs work best.

Yup.....The man does all the work himself and has since he bought the car new so he has the special lil tool to gap them with the correct position marked off, I helped (or should I say watched intently and handed him tools) and the car seems to be running better although the check engine light is back on probably due to the second o2 sensor that we still need to change.

No, I have an 01 ZX3 S2 it is stock.....I bought it from my boyfriend who bought it new and I absolutely love it. This is my forst experience with a manual as well so it has been fun learning. I am going to do some mods to it eventually, but with 15 hrs a week and a full time student...money is tight. I am hoping to start working on it soon though.
