LA : Whos open on weekends where I can buy plugs...
 
For the life of me I can find a place in LA that even has sparkplugs for the 8 in stock.... much less one that is open on a weekend ( or late...)
Any help please.!?

My baby is sitting on stands with her unerside exposed waiting for the new plugs she needs. Could of course clean existing plugs put her back together go order plugs then have to do it all again once they get here..... but would much prefer to drives the wifes car over someplace to get new pugs and get her taken care of right the first time.

I have checked Autozone, Pepboys, Autobacs... everyone would have to special order... and of course dealer wants 50 a piece...

It's rare to find anyone other than a dealer that keeps RX8 plugs in stock. You can find them HERE for $21 / each. If you cant wait till next week search this site for what RX7 plugs would work. Those could be found local.

Yea saw mazdatrix. They list on their site they are only open M-F.
Prices are also kinda high.
Anyone ordered from works concepts? They have the NGK plugs for 19.81

Thanks for sugestions.

I have not heard of them. I have heard and used sparkplugs.com $20.55 per plug is not high, they are also not far from LA.

Napa is open on Saturday try there.

mryoshi 12-27-2008 11:10 AM

Yay called napa and they have them in stock 23.99 little high but still cheaper than mazda or mazdatrix. Ill order in advance next time though.

I'm off...

believe it or not some dealer's will match prices since most of the
stuff comes from them. long beach mazda matched an online price
for me with their de carb cleaner. they would have done it with the
coils also but but i did not want to go thru the trouble of trying to
take them back to mazdatrix..

mryoshi 12-28-2008 08:09 PM

Yea the plugs and air filter made a big difference. Idles pretty good now. Definately gonna do coils and wires for good measure.
Battery looks like is very old too, so might just go ahead and buy a nice battery.

The only thing after all that will be the darn noise that sounds like throwout bearing squeeking... but I guess it wont hurt anything to let that go for a little while. Its just annoying.
