lol ok i need help installing a deck cus the wires are butchered and i also need help installing new spark plugs and possibly an oil change 
Pleeeease help! lolz :albino:
ok, when i bought my 240, the guy before me got his installed pro. so all wires and everything were already in my car when i got it all i had to do was drop my 12ās in and go(deck in the car was mine,sold it to himā¦ etc long storyā¦ deck came witht he car) but i have installed a few decks in other peoples cars. i aways hook power to the deck, red to positive(ur deck has a fuse, but i like to put one in anyways), black to neg, iām gonna assume u know the basicās. start it up play a cd and just touch wires to wires till you find the speaker, from there figure would wich wires are for which speaker and hook it up. amps and subs are something else.
spark plugs, just use a spark plug socket or itās a 1/4 socket( not to sure). take off the plug wires put socket on spark plug, turn. lefty loosy right tighy u should know this! carefully line the new plug up in the hole and with ur hands(highly recommended) turn it till its tight, then give it a 1/4 or so turn till itās tight, but not to tight!. put the proper wires back on the plugs, label them if u must!
oil changeā¦ put ur car on ramps if u have, block the back tiresā¦ if not then get underneather and take off the drain plug on the bottom of the oil pan, make sure u have something to let the oil drain into. i like to put a litre of oil in the top once all the old oil is done draining to flush out some of the remaining old oil left in the motor, while that is going on, you can find the oil filter on the passenger side of the motor, turn that off, oil will come out when u loosen it. when you put the new oil filter back on, make sure to put some oil in the filter itself and around the rubber ring on top. when you tighten the filter, donāt tighten it to much. just go hand tight and a little more, make sure its on good, but not to much or you will have a hard time taking it off next time. iām not sure how much oil you will need to fill the motor back up, a good start would be 3 litres, clean your oil dip stick off and check it. if you canāt see any, add another liter and check again. add till itās full. you can ask the guy at the parts store when u get ur oil and filter. he should be able to tell you.
lol thanks for the info darksideā¦Yes, Iām aware these are basic installations and such but Iām a noobie when it comes to cars, so any help is much appreciated! 
make sure u dotn doubl gasket the oil fiter.
Just go get it installed by a profesional.
There done.
you could do that, it is alot simpler, and itās gonna be done right. but that would take the fun outa own a car, and for someone who donāt know anything about cars, itās a good start. itās ppl like that guy that take the fun out of owning a car. i like working on my car, and i bet she will to! my suggestion, read up on ur car and your motor if you wanna know more and learn how to fix it, you cant properly fix it till you know what it is ur fixing.
Yeah, Iām aware I could just go to a shop and get it done āprofessionalyā and pay out of my a$$, but like darkside stated, that would take the fun and āpersonal touchā out of it Iām also VERY aware that Iām a noobie when it comes to DIYās but Iām willing to learn, try (possibly fail and try again :P) and get my hands dirty as I would eventually like to do most of the general maintenances myself. With that being said, I appreciate the positive comments and any anymore advice would be appreciated! And to darkside, will do on the reading up, Iāve already started

has everything you will ever need to know, itās kinda hard to figure out where what ur looking for is, but itāll be in there somewhere!
take a pic of the butcher wiring. check if you have the plugs, if you donāt goto maybe a junk yard and grab one. than drop by downtown toronto and i can help you.
Dont bother taking it to fs or bb. Why not just learn and do it by yourself for the first time? Its worth it.
