Default Spark Plug Question

Just a little bored...and wanted every one's opinion. Gonna do a tune up on my car soon and just curious on the type of spark plugs and spark plug wire every one uses. Curious as if colder/hotter spark plugs make any difference? I just like keeping my car running smooth....

You cannot beat NGK plugs and factory plug wires. Order the wires online and pick up the plugs at any parts store.

NGK is the way to go for honda's. I did alot of research on plugs because I wanted to upgrade as well. There are alot of companies claiming that their plugs and wires give a good smooth increase in power. However I read an article on a group of individuals that dyno tested various plug/wire combos. I wish I could find the article for you and me again but anyway, the final result was NGK all the way. They gave the smoothest power across the line

NP bro glad to help out. Other plug manufacturers do alot of bragging about power increase and spend alot of time on the eye candy aspect but NGK provides the best output.

I'm not 100 percent on this....... but I think NGK iridiums come stock on civics (maybe just EX's)..call NGK or honda and find out.

I just upgraded (for lack of a better term) to NGK-Rs. They're a colder plug and I dropped the gap to .34. A better setting and plug for turbo I'm told.

So is there any performance difference between the iridiums and the coppers? I've heard no. I have heard that the iridiums last longer though.

you already know what im say......NGKs but when it comes to knowing more about the difference in hot and cold plugs theres as site that i use when i dont know what something does or how it works. www.howstuffworks.com you can look through the ignition system section. that should help alittle.
