Swapping my KA with another one, sure it’s easy for some but it’s my first time doing it and there’s a lot of things I might need or need to do that I’m not sure of.

So, if you know me or not and you’re bored, I’m offering $20 + food + drinks (beer, anything!) for you to sit there and tell me what I need to do. No dirty work involved!

Cars at Mississauga and Mayfield, if you’re interested give me a call - 905.965.0252, don’t post here (though I thank you for the bumps lol) cause I won’t be checking this. Dial-up ftl.

Get paid and fed to sit and dictate! Thanks ahead of time!

This is pretty detailed

1. drain all the fluids - Rad , trans , engine , power steering

2. disconnect the main upper harness starting from the fuel injector plugs and follow it to the maf - ( dont take it out of the car )  
disconnect lower wiring harness - alternator / starter etc
