ok, i bought the ngkbr8eq-14 plugs for $5.09 each at advance auto parts and they took down my name, ph number and addr. and told me that they are the only store that has a two year replacement warrenty on their plugs,it was also on the receipt, do you think they will change the policy for the 7's since we replace ours normally at 9-12k miles? ...WWW.ADVANCEAUTOPARTS.COM , they have 3000 stores cost to cost and you can shop online,,,,,,what do you guys think?

 

I wonder what condition the plugs need to be in before they will consider replacing them under warranty??? Let us know how you make out.

 

After about 9k miles or so, you can always do the ATF trick to further foul them up. ;-)

 

yes, thats the question inittab, what would they consider in order to replace them,,,are there any "car parts people" on the forum that can shed any light on this, sounds too good to be true,,,,but they are under some kind of warrenty,,,,so......let us know.......

 

9-12k? I wouldn't run my plugs any more than 6k. I think they should definately replace them for free

 

Yeah my plugs usually look very worn out if I live them in for three months... Never buy plugs again, eh?

 

Last time I checked (yesterday), my gaps are getting wider
I probably ran on those for too long...
I need new ones!!!

What kind-o plugs would you recommend? (i'll be searching for other posts on this...)

 

**** any of you guys need spark plugs for warranty purpose I can fill it. I got a maxwell house cofee can FULL... I really see a money making opportunity here.

 

no kiddin, but you have to be in there computer showing that you bought the part im sure,,,,,,,,,,any more ideas about the deal.

 

If you stand around and complain enough to the manager, they normally give in
I did this because my shitty Crapsman bits were breaking under lots of load (maybe too much for them), but on the package it clearly said: "LIFETIME WARANTEE", with no restrictions written on the package...

 

@donna Never seen a serial number on a NGK plug

But anyways, buy one set warranty a hundred LOL

Make money resaling new plugs, I bet they end that warranty quickly

By the way, if they are worn enough looking for them, then a simple propane torch outta do the trick

 

Just thought of something else funny as hell. A long time ago I bought a clutch/pressure plate for my 80. When I took the motor outta my 85, i took that clutch back LOL Seven years of use and it wasnt the same clutch, I got a 100% refund. Cant beat that LOL

 

How'd you manage that?! Did they not check? I also see some money making opportunities here...

 

Ya 20 some years ago my dad bought a lifetime warantee battery for his 74 REPU from shucks and he has gone back about 5 times and got new ones. I guess they just don't think some people will hold onto reciepts or a car for that long but they still are amazed every time he does it.

i have to change mine about every 1,500 miles,well i guess i dont have to but it runs alot nicer when i do,i try to keep all me reciepts the seven liks to eat battery's,plugs,wires,clutches,etc,its power hungry

 

Yeha they looked at it and said its wore out, the two surfaces of the clutch were coming apart. They dont know jack didly **** about RX-7 parts at autozone. They probally been through 10 suppliers,a nd didnt know LOL

They had me in the computer and wouldnt give me a new one, cause they costed more. So I said give me back my damn money ...

 

why do you have to replace plugs so often? Can't you just clean them..??If you have them in there for years , yeah, but 6 months ??? 6,000 miles?? Wowww..cjf

 

Hey Donna..I buy at Advance auto too. If they say they will replace, then that is the deal. Double check before you buy , save your receipt and run in there at 9-12 k miles and get you some new plugs (if they go bad)...they can't make an exception for "rx7's"...and if they do, they have to state so. In fact, I was just thinking, I bought my set of ngk at Advance auto about 4 months ago...I am going to look at that receipt!!!....cjf...

 

cjf, like i said earlier, they took my info for the warrenty, i dont know how long ago they started this program, and i dont know how/can they dispute our plugs being bad,,,,,but we will see...............

 

Donna, let me know how it goes if and when you try and get new plugs...cjf......................
