wires are wires....... get the cheap ones and replace em every 15k miles.....

as for plugs, i use NGK zfr7f-11, they are 1.99...... i replace those every 6-10k miles

Magnecor 8mm wires and NGK Iridium plugs.

i pull my plugs and brush them off every 20,000 miles or so.

amen....wires do little to nothing..0 power gains IMO...just need to change your plugs..I am happy w/any NGK plug so far

DO NOT buy Bosch Platinum +4, they do not work well in hondas for some reaseon/

Magnecor 8mm have a good reputation, as do Honda OEM wires.

NGK is played out??? Thats like saying synthetic oil is played out.

Hondas were built with NGKs. As an enthusiast its hard to argue with engineers. If you see gains from plugs or wires on an NA setup, then your previous parts were faulty.

90% sure honda OEM wires are NGK anyway. I replaced my stock ones around 70k, and I've been using ngk copper plugs (pretty sure they're zfr6f-11's). I've had no problem with them, and i change them about every 10k. Pretty sure the OEM replacements are pzfr6f-11's (p for platinum) ... but at $16 a pop, it's not too worth it, when I'm blowing by oil from the oil control rings and they get coated in 10-15k. The main difference w/ platinum, is the fact that they will last longer, around 60k. And 100k for iridium. One thing... don't gap platinum/iriduim.. they should be pregapped. You'll wear off the platinum/iriduim if you do... well, some of it at least.

Wires.. I have ngk blues.

Hope that stuff learns someone sompthin'
