Default Engine Work

I ended up selling my Indy intake manifold. Friday I ended up taking the Indy intake manifold off and putting the stock intake manifold back on. This is the most mechanical work that I've ever done to my car myself. I got a little scared when I saw that I would have to disconnect a wiring harnest but everything turned out great. The hardest part was the simplest thing. Putting the vaccume hoses on the intake manifold. The hose was tight.

I haven't ever changed my cars oil.
I think the first thing I did myself was change the Shifter to the Mopar STS. The next thing I did was take my MPX 60mm Throttle body off and put my stock one back on. I've learned a lot. It's nice when you're done. I've done a few other easy things.

yea it feels good when u finish working on ur car. u dont have to worry if u left it with the mechanic that he messed with something. when u do your own work, u feel confident about what u did. when i changed my shifter with the B&M short shifter it was a learning expirience
