replaced spark plugs= very easy

This was the easiest thing I've done to my rx-7. Car runs smoother. I just went in from underneath the car, put a little anti-seize on the treads of the news ones and popped them in. I decided to go with OEM specs, 7s leading and 9s trailing because it's starting to get cold here and just wanted to be safe. If I do one more performance mod I'll go 9s all around with engine management. Here is a shot of the plugs before and after replacement. Just wanted to share.

Easy? You must have been coming from the LS1 world. Put plugs in a Honda, now that's easy!

Thats how I like them, nice and easy!

Yes, changing the plugs is damn easy.
I've got more room to get down there without the a/c or ps pump, but I still change the plugs from underneath the car.

Easy in comparison to doing anything else in the cramped confusing engine bay, I assume.

awww come on guys, neither are all that hard. Easy way to do the spark plugs is to reach them from the bottom of the car. Then to do the wires just take off the platic elbow.
