Well I'm going to do some basic maintainance work on my civic and I want to know what you guys think. I will be replacing the spark pugs, air filter, distributor cap, possibly rotor.

Should I buy these things online or go to NAPA auto parts for them?

I want to get a K & N filter and I see them on Ebay for about $45 after shipping, seems kind of high to me?

How much would you say the other parts will run?

 

the prices are only a phone call away lol

 

Well I called NAPA and they said a Dist cap would be about $18 and plugs were $2.49 each. Does this seem about right?

 

don't get the cheap plugs.....get the OEM spark plugs....they are NGK platinums....they are around 11 bucks a pop but worth it

 

I thought that OE plugs were copper?

 

:werd:

 

Copper NGK (V-Power?) are stock on all SOHC and non-VTEC DOHC engines. NGK Platinums are stock on DOHC VTEC motors.

 

OEM plugs and wire are the best on these cars. Aftermarket one will drive it insane.

 

ah ok....I thought they all came with platinums....either way go with OEM

 

Don't forget to also do spark plug wires.
