Woohoo! Took about a month to get here. They actually came from mazda japan. I dont think ever sold a set here (other than me).



These are the actual factory wires for the car. The replacements you get now are NGK's. These are factory Yazaki's. Pretty dope huh? Ok, ok ok, so your saying, what idiot would pay money to have factory wires shipped from Japan? Well, the factory wires are great. They last MUCH longer than any aftermarket wires. And most aftermarket wires for a rotary are crappy and dont fit snug. So i wanted a set of orginal, factory wires. =] Whats crazier than that? Buying a spare set. I got an extra set just in case!

 

Now THAT is hardcore. I give you a thumbs up.

 

and you paid how much you crazy person?

 

Anyone rember the old wires for the 1st gen. They had those big boots on the end of them? There were even available one year after... Good job, man. Hope the shipping didnt hurt the old butt too bad LOL

 

actually, mazda pics up the shipping when you buy the parts. Lucky me. I have no clue how much i paid. I just told Mike to buy them for me. I think he said i was his #1 customer for the month...

 

Yea right. If that were true then I would not have had to pay $6 for ONE freakin LUG NUT! Even though an extra shipping charge doesn't appear on your bill, it's still in there.

 

true true. They still charge me shipping, but just not as much as it would cost to actually ship the wires themselves from japan (thank god).

 

It's good to be in the military, i have friends in japan now that can pick me up a set. He's stationed right outside Tokyo. If you say they're good then i guess i'll pick some up.....Thanks for the info.

 

well i actually have set just like that and they are brand new. they came with the car,,so i don't know if the guy who sold it to me bought them from mazda japan,,but he did put on 4 brand new mazda calipers

how fortunate for me that i don't have to buy that stuff

 

thats pretty sweet...when u put them on, tell us how they are

 

are these the same things?

I hope THEY ARE!!!.. If so, I am picking one up for myself for X-mas..

 

They might be the NGK replacements, so dont get your hopes up

 

Er... has anyone besides me checked resistance on the stock wires? I was shocked. I think it's something like 2600 ohms for the leading ones, and about 1500 for the trailing. For comparison, the Accel 8.8's that I was going to use (before I had to sell all my cars and leave the country... under cover of darkness...) had about 180 ohms or something like that, for a wire over four feet long. Crazy.

My plan was to use the generic V8 wire set I had, with the stock end pieces, so everything would fit right.

they are ngk replacements. mazda usa has a killer deal with ngk so everything they sell is ngk.
