Uh huh, so uh, I am thinking of replacing my spark plugs again (especially since I'm at 110,000 miles). But this time, I'm not doing OEM. Has anyone replaced their's with keeping fuel efficiency and performance in mind?

If so, and you are pleased with your results, please let me know what Brand/Product you went with so that I can add this to my Vacation To Do List.

Shpanks a lot

Go to advanced auto. They will hook you up. I dont think new spark plugs would hurt your performance. Ask for the best.

make sure they are the same temperature of ignition and gap them correctly. You're set. NGK Iridium IX's are very good, and get my highest recommendation

Yeah, I have read about Pulstar. That ad is what actually triggered me to ask around about spark plugs. I saw Pulstar in every tuner mag today while I was at Barnes and Noble reading up on a few things.

Altima_Coupe, aren't you the guy who told me where you are getting your Eibachs installeD? Ricky's Garage or something?

Where is Bridgeton anyway? What county is that?

thats me. rickys garage quoted me 130 w/o alignment. NTB w/ alignment- $474, and another local tire place said $350. so needless to say im goin w ricky. his shop is in landisville, near vineland.

Bridgeton is in cumberland county. bout 20 min west of vineland. pretty much out in the sticks. a lot different from media, pa where i used to live.

Oh yeah, Media. Isn't that where Media Camping is? I think that's where my parents go for servicing on our RV. Yeah, Ricky's is probably too far for me. I'm hoping my friend's dad will put them on. He put on my Stillen exhaust for $25. So, I'm hoping he can do the springs for like $100 or less - that would be so sweet. Yeah, I'm in Toms River, all the way in Ocean County. So Ricky's is probably a while for me. Let me know how it all goes with the install and if you encounter any issues (I'll cross my fingers you don't though). Did they mention if they are or are not familiar with Eibach kits and the install process?

Are you going to the Englishtown meet on Aug 23rd and 24th?

It depends. I'm on vacation now, so I may not be able to take off that weekend (unfortunately the boss gets the worst scheduling). However, I will try. Also, I probably won't go unless I get new rims before then. I just bought new rims, but they rubbed, so I am selling them.

If I don't get new rims, however, I will probably go, but in my SRT8 Jeep, not in any Nico friendly vehicles lol

My Jeep is hotter than my Altima anyway



Don't you agree?

Thanks about the SRT8. With my mods, it's up to about 475hp. I'm bringing it in August for dyno testing. Also, once I get my fuel management system/chip, it's going to be well over 500 - I'm psyched. The only thing that sucks is 8/9 miles to a gallon!!!! That's why I'm modifying my work and travel car (the Altima) a bit more, so that it can be my every day car.

The rims are 18x8 245/45, with an offset of +30mm - the offset was the issue. I rolled my fenders too, but the rear end still rubbed real bad. Plus, they are a bit too wide. With the two of those issues combined, it won't work out unfortunately.

I'm not sure to be honest. Probably something from Enkei or Konig though. I don't want to spend too much since it's my work car, but want something reputable and nice.

I am thinking I like this one though - good look and great price:



What do you think bud? Yes? No? It also comes in a gunmetal color
