Question New SparkPlug/Wires

Hey guys, just wanted to get your feedback, on the necesity to Change out your spark plugs wires, i know its an oftern over looked mod for most people, and i was debating on it, or if its over looked on purpose, this would not be a cosmetic upgrade. Anyways let me know your suggestions, and if you suggest it, what brand and a url to get it! thanks guys

Yes, change them. Every 30k miles maybe? I'll bet yours are still original.

1) OE NGK's are always good.
2) Magnacore 8.5mm or 10mm are highly recomended - but pricey.
3) MSD - are really good (this is what I have)

www.summitracing.com for MSD
www.rx7.com for Magnacore, Jacobs, NGKor check our forums sponsor at top of page

My friend Phillip has a FD and he changes his reguraly too, so i knew about that, he Recommends The NGK P p standing for platnium i priced them at napa and they are 5 bucks more and he said to get all Leading plugs, the only diff in the leading/trailing is temp they can handle i belive, but what about the wires guys you have yet to answer that question

Wires - see my above post.

Plugs - no need to use platnum NGK's, your n/a does not need them. Just buy the regular NGK's two BUR7EQ's leading and two BUR9EQ's trailing.

Plugs should be changed every 5-8k miles.
