How much are the NGK plug wires, and don't they come in all BLUE, I was thinking about getting some and getting DEI spark plug covers in silver so they can look like the Spoon spark plug wires but eventually I'll get the Spoon plug wires but thats until I get the money for the B16A swap.

I have a set of brand new Accel wires, and noticed they sat a little high on the valve cover. Later I checked plug length. The stock NGK plugs were about a 1/4" taller than a set of Bosh Platinum plugs I had (using the shorter of the two terminals supplied with the plugs). I put the Bosh plugs in, and the Accel wires now fit right down against the valve cover.

Stock except for the Accel wires, and Bosh Platinum plugs.

sparks wire are not going to make any noticeable improvements besides looks. I have a set of the MSD super conducter & they slide off the plugs slightly but stay on, just every time i open the i am pushing them down. NGK wires are good & CHEAP only $19.99 from summit. Nology is making some of the best wires they each have an external ground $150.00 and up for a set.

Okay, this will be my "Newbie" question: Summit?

The reasons I bought the Accel wires were two fold. 1) The have wire in them. I just like the idea of spark plug wire made with wire. 2) The Accel wires were cheaper than OEM wires from Honda.

Oh, and I noticed an improvement, but that probably had more to do with the old wires being 14 years old than anything else.
