I need new plugs installed I think, or coils, maybe wires as well. Where to buy them and how to install. Free pizza and beer for those that can help.

maybe scarb mazda to buy them. your going to have to suck and up and buy them from a dealer pretty much. actually just ordered coils online from the US because they were even cheaper than my cost on them (and i work at a dealer). as for installing them, if you pick a nice saturday or sunday afternoon i would have no problem helping out at all.

Guys, we buy a lot of parts out of the States. If you ship via UPS your cost of the parts will more than double the US pricing by the time they arrive. If you ship USPS it will end up being about 1.5 times the price. The dollar is exchanging on credit cards at 1.35 Canadian right now. Just to give you an idea, we priced at $40.00USD tire from Tire Rack. It was $110.00 Canadian delivered to our door. If you bring them in illegally then its not as bad, but we wouldn't do that for obvious reasons.

I figured youd call before you ordered anything. Just to give you an example, racing spark plugs from Racing beat: $39.95 usd. they are 65.00 cdn. I ordered them and they cost me $53.93 on my visa. Still $32.00 ahead total. Shipping from UPS was $120.00 ($20.00 pst/gst, $30.00 duty/shipping and $70.00 brokerage fee)
The plugs would have been a total of $293.00 to buy here and they cost me $335.72 to bring them in from the States.
For $160.00 worth of plugs they cost me $120.00 to get here lol
