i thought u need a spacer only when u have nitrous or turbo. but i dont really know wat u need it for even tho i red about it lol

Iridium plugs. You only need to change the temp range when you are boosting. Just ask for Iridium plugs for your car at your local Pep Boys. I have NGKs and I would reccomend them to anyone. NGK is OEM for Honda and they are the cheapest.

ok so what does the spacer do gives u more intake volume? is it true that silver sparks are the best cuz silver is the best conductor? and so if i go with ignition i should replace wires with thicker ones rite?

Intake volume is determined by the diameter of the intake piping, not the length. Copper is the best condutor of electricity, but they wear out really fast and expensive. Silver is also expensive. Iridium is cheaper and almost as good. Plus local auto parts stores carry them.

i know, but i just bought that book called civic duty and they say that silver is the best but it wears out quickly after about 30,000 u have to replace them

Yeah, iridium will last twice as long and costs much less. You'll make like 2 less horsepower, but you could just take out the spare tire and be just as fast.

yeah i mean its just spark plugs its important but it wont make a big difference if i get silver or iridium cuz they are almost the same

before you get it you need to figure out what you want to set your car up for cuz if you are going to boost there is no need to buy headers. I have a spare JDM motor i am trying to sell for cheap with turbo pistons and everything so if you go boost send me a message.
