funny u all say ngk i use bosch platinum 2s.. ive never had a problem before in my life.. then again im driving a daily driver...well.. was.. but all my vechiles have them.. even my minivans.. they are the best daily driver/performance plugs i have found... and the best part i like...no gapping!!!

I'm all about NGK. I stay away from platinum yes they are ok for a n/a daily driver but they burn hotter. I would go with NGK because they are the stock plug and they work fine they may not work as long as a platinum but com on plugs are cheep also gaping your plugs is easy only takes about 20 seconds each.

yea i know gappin is easy.. i carry a gapper with me on my key ring.. i guess that i just like the bit of better performance they put out being platinums

even though u say common plugs are cheap.. ur only replacing them every what.. 5k miles?... think of all that money thats going in to buying maybe 2 sets of ngks by then... i dunno... i just like bosch... theres a civic hatchy around here that has a bigggg ngk sticker on his car.. i soo wanna go ask him if he had to buy it extra from the spark plug set

What upgrades do you have? Unless you have some reason for needing a better spark (big cam, rich on top end or turbo added) you don't need to spend 85 dollars for your wires and 4 dollars for each spark plug. They will give you about .2 horsepower.

well i already have all of the MSD ignition stuff on there. it came with the car when i bought it. I have a MSD blaster 2 external coil. MSD 8.5m wires NGK iridium, MSD rotor, MSD cap. so im just going to replace what is already on there. that **** is expensive.
i did a tune up on my old car. it costed a total of 50 bucks for it. For me to replace everything with what s already on there. it will cost nearly 200 dollars.
