Default What spark plugs?

Hey guys, I have an MY '02 with 82,000 miles and I just realized that the spark plugs have never been changed

So my question is.... What plugs should I be using? I drive the car hard and track it once in a while. I have some mild mods like intake, exhaust catch can and so on.

The OEM plugs don't need to be changed until 105K.

No need to freak out that they haven't been. OEM NGK plugs are hard to beat for an essentially stock NA car.

Yup. They stock plugs are just fine. As long as they are tightened to spec they don't give any problems.

you should also check to see if they have been replaced under the recall or not, if they haven't you may be able to get them changed out for free

It sounds like you got almost the same set up as me and I really noticed some Real power Outta some boshe Plats +2s even over the stock NGKs. I just thinks it because of the set up the honda eng. where the spark is more directed sideways and getting more power outta the plugs
