AHH! dam, didnt even think to check the service manual, thanks a ton man
well i guess i gotta buy some more stuff...think im gonna order the wires from crossover instead of goin to advanced to pick up some
$35 at crossover compared to 45 at advanced

They're $29 at autozone iirc.

EDIT: $30, http://www.autozone.com/autozone/parts/2002-Mazda-Protege/Wireset/_/N-jhm3pZ9n806

I don't know how good they are, they're the "Duralast" brand.

Just get the NGK wires, they are in the $30 range online.

ngks are a waste and look stupid imo cuz its like one long blue wire, looks super janky. lol. Unless you do 1.8 coils or 2.0 relocation setup where u actually have 4 nice fat wires, stock is the way to go

 

[Matt V]

Color doesn't matter if you have an MSP/MP3 vanity cover.

 

[xDJ DUBx]

He doesn't have a cover (unamused)

The NGK blues are the stock replacement wires. Same thing as the black ones that come stock. If you use the stock coilpacks, then you use the NGK blues, unless you want them to be black and you want to get ***** in the butt by the dealership for them...

thanks man! i still got ALOT of stuff to do/clean up before im done with the car so stay tuned

and i just got some stock ones from autozone, they were 32 bucks total so not bad at all, the resistance on the new shorty is 4.10k and the long one is 8.13k so thats like 1k ohm lower on both wires, hopefully that helps some lol

i just cant wait to drive my car again, autotragic maxima FTL

I didn't mean they didn't perform properly, I just think they look ugly. I'd rather have stocks, which you can pick up from an auto parts store for cheap.

 

[christiansMSP]

no problem!

The blues were the only stock/oem NGK replacement wire available at the couple auto parts stores I went to around here... You can get the black ones for cheap out there?

 

[xDJ DUBx]

yessum, I got stocks for $25 or so

 

[justanothermp5]

yea i paid 32 for mine, and mine were black
got back today, bout to change the oil tommorrow, clean up the engine bay, put the new wires in and drive it to see if it fixed all my issues

[justanothermp5]

If you enter, you gotta stay on top of s*** son. They already locked the entry thread so it looks like you won't have an interior shot. (hand)

 

[justanothermp5]

yea...i was just gonna PM antoine the pic, not sure if i can do that

not like i was gonna win anyways lol altspace already has a s*** ton of the votes

 

[xDJ DUBx]

Every time that muther enters he wins, like I know his s*** is clean but a MS RX-8 is hardly something new..just seems like a lot of people are more on his jock than appreciating the car...(shrug)
