spark plugs for accord?
Is there a need to switch to either 'hotter' or 'cooler' heat-range spark plugs following the install of a header, cat-back and a short ram intake, or will the originals still be okay? And should the spark plugs' gap also remain the same as the original specs? Engine is an F23A (4 cyl Vtec) in an '02 Accord. Thanks.

You need to use the original plugs. Pull one out, cover the hole with a rag, and trot down to the parts store.
Here's another good idea- Buy a tube of Anti-seize compound and put a little on the threads. You might appreciate it in another 60k miles.
Did I mention use NGK plugs?
newer model cars have non servicable filter, , teh strainer on these models(98-up) accords and other imports have non servicable units, tehre is no longer and external fuel filter, the redesign of the fuel pump strainer is all thats needed now.being all teh new units are not just fuel pumps but the whole sending unit and pump it incorporates 2 strainers, one external of the tank unit and one incased with the fuel pump in the body of the sending unit eleminating the external servicable fuel filter.
