And he's making you wait for one? That's what I saw was he has two or three for sale and he's holding you off. Well, hope he comes through for you.

Removed the roto-fab w/w reservoir, the windshield washer pump, the lines and nozzles. Really cleaned up under the hood and removed some of the weight up front. Next thing I will probably remove will be the a/c system. That will definitely clean up under the hood and drop another 48.4lbs.

Roto-Fab w/w reservoir II w/bracket - 5lbs
Windshield washer pump - 0.5lbs
Windshield washer fluid - 8.5lbs/gal - 1/4 gallon capacity = 4.25lbs
Total removed = 10lbs

Chris and Jake from JE Import Performance conducted the vacuum test; results no leaks. We checked the spark plugs due to the rough idle, misfires, and the backfires as she accelerates. They were fouled and hairline cracks were leading up to the boot. Had new spark plugs installed, 1 heat step colder than stock and gapped to 0.030; Denso (5340) ITV22 Iridium Power Spark Plug. No more misfiring!

Just some images of inferno in the back taken with the iphone 7........

Correction from a previous comment; I thought I was still running stock spark plugs; I was not charged for new spark plugs so I thought my stock ones were just gapped by JE Import Performance. However, I just replaced NGK LTR7IX-11 plugs with Denso (5340) ITV22 Iridium Power plugs. So I replaced spark plugs with a different brand but the same heat step. I will probably have to go a step colder in approximately 6 months (how long the NGK spark plugs lasted).
