Since the holidays have passed, I have some extra cash to put into my car. now aside from having a body shop fix my hood, I want to have the thing running in great shape. so what I've been looking at is new spark plugs, and ignition wires. what else should I look at getting?
and now for the list of questions:
1. Platinum spark plugs versus regular, and what is the deal with platinum 4? good, or collosal cash grab? any particular brand?
2. the cheapest set of ignition wires is $50 the next ones up the line are $100 and most of the rest of the brands are in the $100 range. what is wrong with the $50 ones (neiberhoff, or some german name like that), and once again any particular brand is better?
3. PIAA Headlights? Xenon? Hyper Blue? Wtf?
and of course, one again anything else I should look at getting.
I'm having the oil, and filter changed as well, so no need to mention that. I'd do it myself, but the guy I talked to said he do an inspection as well (for $50) see if he could find any trouble spots.
In other news, I went by the dealership today, because no one in this god forsaken city has 4F paint, and as I was drooling over an RX-8 the dealer asked if I wanted to take it for a spin. of course I accepted, and DAMN! I gotta get one of those.
