Gluck! shouldn't be too tough but the oil-wrench messed up my first self-change attempt (couldn't get the filter off),
Then the last attempt I bought a filter-wrench that fits perfect from PepBoys for $10,
If you get stuck and need to borrow it lemme know 7204340579

I just use one of the band filter wrenches (which doesn't fit) and slip one of my stock boost tubes over it. works like a charm. though I should probably do the spin on conversion.

good luck man!

I've done the same...almost. Been using a plastic 'fit all' type filter wrench. It doesn't fit perfectly, but has worked for me. However, after seeing the actual fitted wrench be used (and for $10) I'll never be using that sorry-excuse-for-a-filter-wrench moving forward.

Back OT. Let us know how it went Alex...

It was stupid easy, the hardest part is removing the under tray but seeing as i dont have one it was a breeze once i got that filter wrench. I dont know why i havent done it sooner!

I finally found something to remove my want for a speed3 wing after a year and a half, $30 shipped and painted from eBay. I was worried about the color match but its perfect! Also took a sweet photo the other night in Denver.

Last night i finally figured out the exact direction i want to take my car. Picked out wheels, coilovers and planned out my fitment. Yes i will be one of the "hellaflush idiots" i plan to run 17x9 et42 with a 5mm spacer in the rear otherwise i wont clear the shock housing. I will then put a 215/35 tire on each wheel for a nice little stretch. Since i cant be fast ill be low as hell and look good doing it.

Well this weekend i parted out my car (to a new member on here, cant remember his username) and now driving it i realize how much fun to drive i had made it. In stock form in feels boring and loose. Meh.
