Lots of great info here
Bilbofraggins , THANK YOU for taking the time! It's taken me awhile to sort through all this, but definitely some great leads, much appreciate the help.
I used to do more of my own stuff, but time is tight nowadays with my baby boy, I may need to just source the parts and find a good Indy shop for labor. I still have 3-4mm on my brakes, and I don't brake hard so hoping for another 5-7000 miles. The battery will likely be costly, the way they have to do it on these vehicles. I don't have a charger option, not something I'm willing to deal with on a daily basis.
I still need to do some research on spark plugs and filters, but otherwise really good info. I'll reach out and post again as needed.
Thanks again, AG
