Also, you may need the 13/16" (i think) spark plug socket to make things easier for you, if you don't have it already.

He never said if he has single or dual exhaust, so make that 2 for the flames.

It was a sarcastic joke about placing spark plugs in the mufflers, so that when the car runs rich the plugs in the rear of the car would ignite flames. It takes a little bit more than that to make it work however, but it was nothing more than a joke.

Thumbs up Use 3rd Gen Spark Plugs

The 3rd Gen plugs make a world of difference, especially when trying to start a 7 thats been sitting for awhile. I've found that using them in either 1st, 2nd or 3rd generation rx7s, idle is better, they run smoother and they last a good long time (Except in 3rd gens). I love those things....Also, make sure to get the OEM NGK Spark Plugs, not some other crap brand. Just my 2 cents.

Yep. ask for the NGK's and nothing else.

Unless your car burns lots of oil, then just get autolite since they are gonan foul after 2000 miles anyway
