Default u never used those clamps that came with the wires eh?

they looked so "unorganized" when I just plugged them, so I used those clamps to group the wires and now when I want to put the cover one, it fits! (a little tight tho). The only reason I wanted to put the cover on is when a guy was interested in buying the car and came to look at it. I wanted the clean OEM look :-)

Default +4's. Like 'em, but some have had problems w/ them (moribundman)

They're spendy too. Not worth the money though.

Default Denso Iridium = $$$ wasted . . .

you can spend less than $6 per plug and get some really good plugs. For stock through moderately modded engines, try Bosch, NGK, or Beru three-prong OEM style plugs (either full copper or copper core with nickel plateing).

Platinum plugs (i.e., copper with platinum tips or coating) work okay in our normally aspirated cars if you want to spend more.

I liked the Beru Ultra-X plugs a lot too: four-prong copper core with nickel alloy plating.

IMHO, you do not need to spend a lot of money for an exotic plug!

I second this one. The tri-electrode NGKs work the same for everybody, and last a reasonable amount of time. They're also relatively cheap, even from the dealer. Bosch F6DTC are an equivalent replacement which are sometimes easier to find.
