ignition wires

Hey guys whats up. OK well I was driving a long today and I started to feel a skip in the engine. Well I have discount auto crap exact wires. I tihnk thats the issue at this time right now. So I was just wondering if you guys have heard anything on the Accel thundersport wires? I got em on my Honda and they work pretty good so I was wondering how they did on the 7.

And on another note, living on your own has never been so good. Sex is absolutely astonishing lol. I mean before it was good, now it's like having a nice turbo setup under the hood now.

Off topic again. I got in an arguement about oils. What do they use in the RX8s. Thanks guys and gals.


LIVE LONG AND PROSPER!!!!!!!

Hey man,

Could be the wires, could be your spark plugs? check both and replace if you havn't done so for a while.

OFF topic: sex when you move out is fantastic. Amen brother.

Rx8 oils no idea, but I dare say they would reccomend syth?

Probably time for a tune up, and filters.

Sex is always good...... Especially with a partner.

Mazda recommends 5-20wt for the Rx-8, and synthetic is still out, at least what I read last on the topic.

I have the Accel 300+ wires on my SA and I love 'em.
Got 'em for $5 (!) at the junkyard, and they were like new.

Regular carbon-string resistor wires go up in resistance as they age.

I'm running a custom cut set of the same Accel 300+ spark plug wires as Wankelguy and they have lasted a looong time....they've been on three different RX-7s now and they always kick up the idle by about 200 rpm when I replace the old wires with the set.

The Accel 300+ wires are a spiral-core that measures 150 ohms/foot so they provide RFI suppression. I made a set of straight copper conductor wires for my RX4 a few years back, and they worked great. I don't have radios in my cars so I don't care about the RFI, although one time I pulled up next to a cop car and the cop started slapping at his radio. It was all I could do to sit there with a straight face. I didn't rev the motor or do anything that would tip him off as to where the noise was coming from.

Aaahh.. Good times...

Oh ok. I use Moroso Blue Max spiral core wires in the racecar. They are great! Any of the good brands of that type will work fine. Are those pre made? Or a universal set that you have to build up? Moroso makes them premade for a 1st gen.

Haha, WG you make me wanna put those wires back in my streetcar.
