I decided to check my plugs today and found them to be gapped at around .024 instead of the recommended .028-.031 Anyone else notice this? I corrected it, but now I'm itching to pick up some NGK BPR7ES and a couple of wires ;)

the stock plugs are really expensive, retailing for 25 dollars each!!

That's why I'm going with the $1.79 option ;)

It's the price of the plug wires that's killing me. I could get four much longer, same brand/quality wires for my DSM cheaper than I can get the two short ones for the EVO :roll:

Really?
How much are the plug wires?

I almost died have to shell out 100 bucks for the plugs after Thill trackday, although it is time for replacement anyways.

Cheapest set I've found is $80 for 8mm wires, but I've seen them going over $100 for the JDM stuff.

BTW there appears to be some conflicting information coming from Mitsu. I was going by the bible:

But the owners manual states otherwise:
