take the distributer apart and make sure that one, your cap isn't cracked and two that your rotor isn't bending outwards. distributers can start fires it's worth rechecking everything!

on the oil filter, get a kitchen grip holder (flimpsy piece of sticky bumpy rubber), it seems to work.

I see people out there spending money on the car to improve it … If you spend half that effort just working on your driving skills, making you and the car work together as a team, then you’ll go faster – period. To make the car go a second faster on the track takes a lot more energy and money than making yourself drive it one second faster.

for the filter remover, they sell some nice ones at pepboys. they have filter removers that go on a socket wrench, very easy to use.
