NGK copper core plugs, not platinum. They're V-Powers. Don't waste the money on platinum. There's a reason the Bosch wires are cheap. Stick with NGK.

I got a set of ngk blues (plug wires) for 40 bucks 4 months ago. Check out ebay OP, but stick with known brands. Also be sure to gap your plugs. If it wre me id run a can of seafoam through a vacuum line and the fuel system/oil system. And also do a valve lash adjustment. The lash tool is 4 bucks at autozone.

Whenever it's time to show my 93 DX Coupe some tune-up love, I generally get NGK Platinum plugs, NGK wires, Wal-mart Supertech Full Synthetic 5w30 (yea, you heard right... Wal-mart brand), a Royal Purple oil filter, whatever air filter is on sale... usually Microgard, I dremel the rotor/cap connections (unless they are shot, in which case I replace with OEM), Honda OEM fuel filter, and then I run a valve lash adjustment. That's generally my routine.

How do u use the seafoam? I heard of peoe messing tbeir cars up.
I don't want to mess with the valves. Imma have a friend do it or have his uncle show me
The ngk wires on ebay are the same as if I would to get it from autozone?

Get the stock NGK copper plugs, maybe one heat range colder depending on your driving habits. The precious metal plugs are for cars that are a hassle to change the plugs. Use some anti-seize compound.
OEM wires, cap and rotor. Get a tube of Hondabond while you're there for the valve cover gasket.
Small torque wrench and feeler gauges for the valve lash. New valve cover gasket and spark plug seals might be a good idea.
Purolator filter and synthetic oil is worth every penny.
If dirt and leaves fall off your air filter you might want to change it.
OEM transmission fluid if your'e really going crazy.
The new ignition stuff will really make it crisp.
I use the 50/50 green prestone antifreeze that "mixes with any color".
