There's a quarter wall with NGK plugs in mine. None of which I needed, but there's a whole pile of them there. Being from Texas, you used to live up here salamander?

nothing more than a couple springy hose clamps and a wire clip holding it on. I even did a roadside change on one once. Takes about 5-10 mins.
yup, definetly harder to replace a FI filter.
always depressure a FI system before doing any work on it. don't ask how i know... :|

whoever told ou that was spewing BS from their mouths they sell TONS of NGK plugs and they are still on the system as active so they are still a stocked, and distributed company in the Canadian Tire Corporation.

different canadian tires will vary in terms of what they carry.
for example, the one canadian tire i usually go to carries no metric-sized bolts/nuts whatsoever.

but i'm pretty sure than CT sells NGK plugs, just maybe not the ones for our cars...

True however any Canadian Tire has Access to ALL of the same stuff they can get what you need... however it is true that our spark plugs have been discontinued on the stocking/availability list. ( I worked for CT for a year in parts ) But I can assure you that NGK is still stocked and sold by CT it is their largest selling spark plugs by FAR!

Yes CTG sells NGK, no they don't sell RX-7 plugs, but I managed to get my local pats guy to "special" order them. Took about 4 weeks to get them, lol.
My local Mazda dealer has them in stock for around the same $$$, or I can pop down to Ontario Mazda (who also has them in stock) and pay 20% less...

Been there, done that, lol....

But i found the hardest part was getting all the damned rusty siezed 20 year old bolts undone...

And it's not like you can just turn a propane torch on bolts near your fuel system...

Or better for you (I think), Brampton Mazda offers the same discount too.

True 'nuff, but last time I got plugs Brampton wasn't in on the deal, and since I'm Rex-less for the time being...

if you want to buy spark plugs in bulk (i think minimum 8 required or something), then check out www.clubplug.net
after shipping it's marginally cheaper than the dealership, but at least you don't have to get off your *** to get them
