Ok several questions...#1, changing the plugs and wires on my coupe since they still got the factory stuff on it, fig its time for a tune up....should I also change the cap and rotor? Also, how in the heck do you get the facotry wire clips off? With my past gt I could never fig out how the stupid things came apart without breaking them, Id like to save them If I can. Thanks

If you are talking about the plastic ones that are attached to the valve cover bolts. Just take a flat blade screwdriver and insert it in the top part and carefully twist it. It clips together at the very top. If you look closely at the top you will see a small slot where you can insert the screw driver. Yes, change the cap and rotor as well.

If those wire loom seperators are original they will probably just fall apart when you un-hook them. The other down side to them is they will barely hold a 9mm wire. When you buy your tune up parts, I would spring for a couple seperate looms anyways.

Agreed. I like the two piece separators that clamp around the wires - they look cool. Mine wont fit the Superconductor wires though.

if you want to get some new ones like the factory ones, the help section should have them. if not i know that they are available from doorman, motormite, or help(all same company pretty much). just gotta get the right part number.
