Ok, Thanks Neo

 

Holy snap!
I just got a quote for spark plugs. I had to do a double take on the price and the quantity. Seriously, is that what it's going for nowadays?? Surely there's got to be a cheaper alternative???
Anyone have suggestions?

Leesha,

If no other alternative can be found, then you might have to give me some cash to get these ordered. Takes about a day for them to arrive.

And I got a discount on these plugs. It's ridiculous what the asking price is!

 

How much is it? I will give you my visa. What else should be done at 95,000km? We still need to find somewhere to do it. Who is coming? I need someone who's worked on an 8.

I have an 2006. If not this weekend the next. WCS you need to be there!!

 

I would check the clutch pedal for wear/tear. If you've replaced it already then maybe not, but just precautionary as I hit 92,000km and mine snapped off....then again, if you drive an AT then I'm talking out my *** then.
Always good to give your MAF a good cleaning, clean out air intake of sand or whatever finds its way in there. The rubber accordion bit might have oil residue in it, good to clean that out.
Also, might be good to clean the Throttle Body of whatever **** starts filling up in there...mine was nasty.
After that, ECU reset because idle might be a little off and it will be reset afterwards.
Other than that, it should be ready for summer

 

Auto...all sounds good can you show me how. come meet when we all get together

 

@95k shouldn't you be doing wires and coils along with plugs? And maybe tranny and differential fluid? Is there anywhere to get plugs cheaper than $80 for 4?

 

Where are finding plugs for $80 a set for 4??? Is that a typo?
My guy, who's giving me a discount, is getting all 4 plugs out the door for $260. That's still a lot considering I can get a set of plugs for my FD for $60 a set of 4.

 

I usually do my car work at my buddy's place in Mississauga, he owns an 8 as well (User: ritual). Plugs, and all that cleaning is a small job.
Have you done a recent oil change as well? I assume you're keeping it by the books and using 5W20 non-synthetic oil since you have an '06.

But depending on the day, I might be able to give a hand.

 

$18.29 each + shipping, 2 needed

Nearly every parts store has them at the same price.

Those are the OEM plugs, and also the best performing one around.

 

The states will get you 80-85 a set, ship to CBI across the boarder and drive down to pick em ep....still cheaper...
BHR* sells em 85 a set, or amazon.com I think is cheaper?

 

plugs, wires, and coils can all be had for ~$260

 

I bought my last set of coils, plugs, and wires for $192, total for everything.

US prices of course, but I can't imagine Canada is ~4 times more.

It is bad up here.... $260 is dealer prices without tax...
When on sale, best I saw was $50 each... so to save money, it's best to make a trip to Buffalo

 

Neo, so you get discount on getting OEM RX-8 coils, plugs, and wires? If so, how much for the complete set?

 

So this is what I need for my 2006? Can you confirm as I will order them today.

I am so confused with all the comments. I did my fluid replacements a while back (dif).

Oil changes every 5000 km.

Tmrx: I can meet you at your friends if that's ok?? I need to order the parts. Make a list for me.

 

I've got a couple spare sets.

I can let a set go for 80 cdn

-- edit --
I'm in a golf tournament this Saturday so I can't make it this weekend.

But if someone wants to come pick the plugs up I can arrange something.

 

Yes, the NGK part numbers are what you need. The "L" at the end of the first part number is for "Leading", the "T" at the end of the other is for "Trailing". The tips will look slightly different once you have them in hand.

 

I want to know too. If any Americans have links to what's needed send my way & I will start ordering.

Wires, coils, etc.

 

Your best deal will be to grab the plugs from wcs.
I won't be free this weekend, weekday/afternoons or evenings could work at my buddy's place. Will have to confirm if you want. Like Tuesday or something.

 

WCS they are mine. Lol can you do it then? The plugs right. Can come today??

 

Ok I can have you guys do the other stuff let me see what wcs says.

 

I'm in Detroit on business.

I won't be home until tomorrow.

 

Ok how bought Tuesday. Are we doing it all? Wires & coils? Where do I get them? Plugs from wcs

 

I should be able to do Tuesday.

If not .. at the very least ship the spark plugs to you by then, or have someone pick them up.
