i payed around $55 dollars for 8.5 magnecor plug wires from rx7.com. and you can get the plugs for around $6 dollars a piece at a auto store. it would be a good time to change all your vacum hoses also.

skunks,

If you are saying their plugs are ordinary because of their price...whatever it is u are paying...u are getting ripped off. Good NGK's are always under $10, leading and trailing. YES I OWN ONE.

If you buy new ones, I think rx7 store's prices are hard to be beaten. but if used ones, the prices can be vary.

I am looking into ordering an ACT street/strip clutch from Jason at rx7store so if you want to we can order them together and save a little on shipping. I am also getting a lightened flywheel. I think that his prices are better than anyone elses that I have seen.
skunks, a normal set of NGK's are around $9 for leading and $9 for the trailing coming to a total of 9x4=$36. If you are paying more then you are getting ripped off. Yes normal parts stores carry them but they are few and far btw. I finally found some after going to 3 different parts stores. I recommend calling in advance Yes I too have a FD

"Stock" and "ordinary" plugs are the NGK platinums. Assuming you put 7/9s in, they should be less than $10.

Yes, I have an FD. Yes, I just put a new set of plugs in. Yes, my car runs 10k miles later. Yes, that means I know what I'm doing.

3. Radiator Hoses
----->Check out the group buy on silicone radiator hoses. I think it's worth the extra cash; I've had one burst on me.
5. Spark Plugs
------>Try Advance Auto, if there's one near you. They have to order them so you have to wait a few days, but ngk platinum 9s are around $6 each.

Thanks in advance!
