--Replacing the spark plugs and air filter. Car "seems" a lot peppier and for certain idles much better.

My old plugs were extremely gunky after 31,000 miles. Is this because I live up north and mostly do in town driving? I don't mind replacing them more often except that they are kind of expensive. Second question- would really dirty plugs do much other damage eventually? I'm wondering if perhaps the cat or something will get fouled up quicker from incomplete combustion. But mostly I'm happy the car seems to run better.

 

abbib- could provide part #'s Thanks Jeff

 

I just paid NZ$240 for 4 plugs through Mazda .
feeling a bit queesy now

 

clean/new plugs make a lot of difference in any car..i wouldnt call it a mod though..its like saying adding octane booster is a mod..
i would be too if i paid $70 each for plugs!! wow...they would want to be good plugs? how do they go?

 

I should be getting new plugs installed by Mazda's service department for the flooding TSB.


I also recently nabbed two sets of new plugs for future use. They are the renovated style plug to help prevent fouling.

Which plugs were they you installed?

 

Whats the difference between the rx-7 plugs and ones for the 8, other than price.

 

^What he said...

 

I switched to the Denso Iridium pugs and RB cables about 5k miles ago, and I am happy with that setup.

 

They are just the std NGKs supplied by Mazda dealer here in NZ . He told me this was the cheapest way to get them (in a set of 4) . Goes just the same as before

 

RX-7 plugs are fantastic. Cheap and work exactly the same.

 

this thread makes me LOL.

 

you make me wonder why kids under 16 habitate these boards

 

Yeah, I guess I was left out of the joke. What is so funny about spark plugs?

 

the fact that SNTP cant even legally drive, so his input on sparkplugs doesnt really matter

 

No, NTP can legally drive. He's just screwed in the fact that he can't find an RX-7.

Spark plugs aren't a mod, changing what sends spark to the plugs is a mod. Direct Leading Fire Ignition System utilizing a FC leading coil is what I'm using in my FB. Kicks ***.

 

LOL.

This thread makes baby Jesus cry.

 

Jeez, everyone needs to relax.
