ok tell me if i'm over reacting, i took my car to canadian tire (i know bad idea) and they quoted me 167$ on spark plug wires

I dunno how that price translates, but they ARE expensive to replace

That might sound reasonable pending the shop you goto. Although i wouldnt pay it given i do all the work myselt. Wires tend to wear out anywhere from 30k+ miles or less if you race hard.

I need to replace my nology's i am not looking forward to that =]

Really, they wear out that quickly?

I'd doubt that, but who knows. Are these high performance wires or stock replacements that wear out that quickly???

ive just had to replace mine......normal aftermarket ones where about £100....about $180 in the uk......dealer leads where well over that.....i got in touch with magnecor....(not sure if you know them over there,think they are american)i paid £94 about $175 for k85 competition leads...10 year gaurantee....very nice well made leads..

i think they were selling nice quality ones on ebay for reasonable price.

NGK Spark Plug wires from my local Mazda Dealership (Barrie, Ontario) is $143.97+tax...for a 1.8L MX3 GS.

Last time I checked at Canadiantire, NGK's were $130ish and they go on sale a couple times a year.

I got a spare set here of NGK 8mm wires if you are interested. I am from the ottawa area as well. Should receive them by the end of the week, they are like brand new, used for a week. Made for the V6. Email me if interested

NOLOGY HOT WIRES, BEST FEED 137.00 US DOLLARS GO TO NOLOGY .COM MX-3 IS THE SAME AS PROBE WHEN IT COMES TO ENGINE SO JUST FOR SAKE YOU COULD PROBABLY GET BETTER DEALS SAYING YOU HAVE A 93 PROBE GT :} JUST HEADS UP GOOD LUCK!!!!

okay, whoa. What does everyone think about their claims? http://www.nology.com/hot.html
a spark 300x more powerful? An increase in hp? Any thoughts? Sounds like something worthy of ebay! Can anyone back up there claims at least to some extent?

well, that price probably also includes labor to install'em. it dont sound like much but they take there time and were i live, shops can charge up to $34 for body work and like $43 for macanics per hour for labor.

nology makes a good spark plug wire. i dont know about those claims but they are better then the stock ones

Heh here is about 60-80$ a hour.

Yes plugs/wires/cap/rotor are recommended to be replaced after 30k i belive this is backed up i most owners manuals as well.

The technology behind nology's wires is sound and not the first time the idea has come to light. Power increase vary a ton though given the ignition system.

I love my Nology wires. one time when we were turning the motor over with the wire/plug out to check for spark and it threw enough spark to make the wire/plug fly off the valve cover. i'm sure it had some to do with my ignition but we were all impressed none the less. the car started easier and it got rid of ALOT of hesitation.
i recently put some on my girlfriends Integra GSR and there is alot less hesitation and it winds out faster. once again i was impressed.
talk to Eli and tell him Shea(pronounced SHAY) sent you. we go way back.
