Its really a great idea to clean the MAF sensor. I had problems with my SR and it fouled new plugs and had the typically tell tale signs of a bad MAF sensor, I cleaned it with the CRC MAF Sensor cleaner and she is back to normal.

So i'm glad i found this thread too, about to do spark plugs and MAF,

I am a STRONG believer in NEO synthetic oils for both the tranny, diff, and engine. They are very cheap for such a nice oil $35/gal from SPL parts. So i just order a couple gallons from SPL at a time and dont worry about it.

My first drift event i blew the tranny after about 20 passes because of bad/old oil. Bought a new tranny which was in a bit worse shape (grinding 3rd already) and put the NEO full synthetic oil in it, and that shit has lasted 7 drift events, almost a year of driving, and it doesnt even grind in 3rd anymore! I'll never go back.

I ALWAYS use shell, so no need for fuel injector servicing, atleast not yet. I also have the Apexi air filter so i guess theres nothing to do to that from what i've read?

I also religiously spray down the motor/tranny because it leaks a bit here and there (mostly oil pan and valve cover) just a little bit but lots of dirt sticks to it so i spray the whole thing down with a couple cans of carb cleaner. keep it so fresh and so clean clean...
