Guess that would make your car a grey box



Hint, look at the leading coils. L2 is a bit crusty

heres a hint. a lot of times that wire doesnt get put back on right, because that little ignition harness gets in the way. result is lots of arching, and a burned out coil and wire.



its sloppy assembly, and remember all of the 93 and 94 cars were apart to do the fuel and coolant recalls.



those stock wires are actually the best in terms of life, fit, and performance.



usually if you find a better performing wire, it doesnt fit, like the jacobs, they fall off.



the racing beat stuff fits, but it doesnt last



etc etc

oh and when i say stock wires, i'm talking about the factory installed black yazaki made ones, not the ngk's.



for those still reading, they are also the most expensive option around $20x3 you order em seperately
