grab some NGK plugs and wires, oil and filters, and if anythings left over, grab air fresheners.

Either way, not the place for such a question. walk around advanced and see if there's anything you might need now or later or find useful etc

Buy a **** load of SeaFoam. If you are feeling brave enough, pour all 10 bottles of it in your gas tank at once and let that sucker rip!!

Really? I get that the question is a bit newbish, and not technical, but you just gave advice to a user that will harm their car. Please cease.

Clayton, check out his history. That's his M.O.

Wires, plug, cap, rotor, air filter, oil change. Use whatever's left on cleaning and detailing supplies.

I'm growing very weary of people trolling new users. We need to act as educators, not detractors.

He's a new member, too. I'm leaning more towards unintentionally ignorant.

I doubt it, he has made some blatantly dangerous suggestions.

Ignorant to the dangers of his suggestions, though?

I don't know, maybe I just give people too much credit.

I met a guy in college who thought you could get a "50 shot" by adding a half bottle of NOS energy drink to his gas can. I had to rebuild his engine and fuel system for him. I've heard people say that seafoam was just a really expensive, cleaner gasoline. Stupid? Yes. Can you blame it on them for being ignorant? Not entirely.

I would save the gift card because as soon as you buy something you dont need your car break down and you will need something important and now you money is gone. Dont let it burn a hole in your pocket.

Just my 2 cents.

TO CLEAR UP ANY CONCERN SURROUNDING THE 10 CANS OF SEAFOAM: I very well know what SeaFoam is and does. I did the full treatment on my car a month ago and it is great. I was simply suggesting to stock up on it for years to come, but then joked about dumping it all in the gas tank at once. No harm, no foul.

Young kids who are new to the site sometimes take advice given with no research because they are naive. Please do not do it again unless you clearly state that it is a joke.

Advance does well AEMair intake systems I think. Might be close on the price, but its worth a shot. It might also be wise to install new NGK plugs and wires as well as a new cap and rotor if you want to go the manitenance route. Either way...good luck!
