Default Items I need to by for a Tune Up?

My mechanic told me to buy the tune up materials for my car. 96 hatch with a 98 GSR.

What items do I need to buy, and where can I get them? Honda, Autozone? Thanks

1. Spark Plugs I would go with NGK (Advance Auto)
2. Spark Plug wires what ever brand you prefer not Autozone. I have msd on one car and Nology on the other both great.
3. Dist cap & rotor go OEM if you dont have MSD already.
I don't know what mods you have but you might want to change your air filter also. These are things I would get if I was tuning up a car. Do the work yourself and save the money so you can put more in the car. Well thats me good luck

Do not use nology or MSD wires. Get a set of NGK plugs and wires. Honda cap and rotor. Pick up a fuel filter from your local autoparts store while youre at it.
