resistor and non-resistor spark plugs?
 
So, what does this mean? i'm wanting race wires and it says it recommends non-resistor plugs, what's the difference between the two?

Less resistance = better spark. But if you're getting race wires, I sure hope you don't wanna listen to your radio because they will emit electrical interferance that will ruin reception.

http://www.ngksparkplugs.com might have the info your looking for re: resistor and non-resistor type plugs.

Yeah, i know it'll create interferance... but i never listen to the radio anyway, thanks for the link.

The recommended NGK BR8EQ14 plugs are a non-resistor type anyway, so no need to worry about it. I made a set of solid-core wires for my RX4 a few years ago, and oddly enough, my radio reception was fine as long as the tuning was right on the frequency. One of the advantages of having an analog tuner! It did mess with my TV reception, though. Fortunately, I seldom watch TV while I'm driving...
