Your car originally came with "regular". Platinum and iridium (not "irridium") are longer-lasting but have the same electrical characteristics. I use platinum because my engine spends most of its time around 4K rpm, which erodes plugs like crazy. > > I'm planning on keeping the car for a couple of years(already had it > for 4). Cool.

Re: Replacement plug for 95 civic CX
use better plug wires than oem. you will notice a difference. i put accel
thundersport wires on my civic and it runs alot smoother and it may have added more horsepower. theyre good quality also. the oem plug wires are bare minimum. -jeff "Tegger" <tegger@tegger.c0m> wrote in message news:Xns9900D7B52AFDAtegger@207.14.116.130... > patbro@gmail.com wrote in news:1175009179.283682.50430 > @b75g2000hsg.googlegroups.com: > >> I was suggested: >> NGK irridium >> NGK platinum >> NGK regular > > > > Use whichever of the above you wish.

Don't use anything else. I would imagine aftermarket NGK wires would work well. They are probably the OEM supplier. |

NGK *is* a Honda OEM for some parts though, so you may be right, although I still wouldn't trust even Japanese aftermarket without some sort of verification. And when is comes right down to the nub of the matter, that's all an automaker's franchised dealer sells: verification, confidence, trust. -- Tegger The Unofficial Honda FAQ http://www.tegger.com/hondafaq/ |

Ah, yes...Sumitomo. They were OEM for Toyota a few years back, too. I live about 3/4 mile from a US manufacturing plant that makes their specialty wire here in the US. |
