I replaced the plugs, coils and wires on my car about a month ago. As well as Seafoamed. Its really easy and there are write ups here on the forum.
If you still don't want to, I can do them at my shop, but I'm in Kitchener.
Word of advise though, do the Seafoam first.

yeah i know, the seafoam kills your plugs right?
how much would it run me if i brought it down to you?

you can purchase the plugs, coils and wires yourself and get them installed somewhere
i got quoted 80$ by mazdees in pickering to install everything.
your better off doing that.
also seafoaming your engine is pretty straightforward you can definetly do it yourself.

Plugs wires and and coils are easy to install as well.

Beatlebam

yeah im not worried about the seafoam, just the plugs and coils cause i have a warranty still so i dont want to mess around too much you know?

FERA

You should be fine, it won't affect your warranty

Beatlebam

okay cool, any suggestions on plugs and coils then?

I picked up a wicked deal on EBay for NGK plugs and wires plus OEM replacement Coils - All in was $320 shipped.
Just read the "how to" or "DIY" on replacing them and see for yourself. Its really straight forward.
I wouldn't charge you more than $50 if you brought it down, problem is timing. lol

Mouhahahahah
Silly silly people

I have two bottles of Seafoam, a brand new set of plugs and a new set of stock coils ..... yes ... just laying around
Too bad I live in Orangeville .... and Darkbrew has called dibs on one of the bottles of seafoam.....
However getting another bottle ... now that shouldn't be too hard.

Other than buying the parts and your time .... cost to you .... zero

Just have to co-ordinate a date with DB and I
Weekends are best

Edit: You can get stock coils for 200 usd from here

Plugs you can get from BHR

And the Seafoam I'm lucky enough to pick up at my local Napa dealer

Beatlebam

orangeville isnt that far, and is that 51$ per coil?

wcs

iTrader: (2)

Yup ... plus shipping and brokerage

But 50 per coil is fine
I have some plug wires as well is your are interested.

Hell we might as well put on the RB Ram air as well

Sounds good to me

My car is stable at a 3psi setting. It drives perfectly.
I can get anywhere we need to meet

Footman

Do you guys have stuff to do with your cars though? I don't want you guys just hanging around watching eh? I can do everything myself save for the cranking part for the seafoam

Footman

Seafoam is available at Partsource and Canadian Tire and Walmart. It's everywhere now.

Beatlebam

DarkBrew

I'll call dibs on the seafoam but this weekend I'll be in Montreal...
I have a mid pipe, Sohn, BHR ignition and tranny/Diff fluid to do

Ya prolly .. hopefully before the end of August.

Don't know where we plan on holding the Seafoam event ... it can get ummmm rather errrrrr foggy

I thought we would find a place up in Orangeville .... it's back woods yes but less of a danger of getting the police or the fire department involved

Speed_8

awesome, im in for that, need my seafoamed
