brand new ngk tr-5's on the drivers side and original stock ones on the passenger side.
i have no time to work on the passengers side.
this was my first time
would i be fine to run my car with 4 new plugs and wires and 4 old plugs and wires? would this be a bad idea?

my cars at 65k
i dont think a plug job was ever done until now.
i need more time to deal with the passenger side. i have no time atm. maybe later down the road. so this is gonna be some what permanent.
did i improve my engines health by changing 4? or did i make it worse?
or should i have just not changed em at all cause it doesnt matter unless i do all 8?
thanks

It will be better, but if your going to do a job, you might as well do it right. If I had to change them, I would change all 8, no matter the circumstance(cant spell).

You have improved the spark...don't worry too much...when u get around to it, do the other side...cool out...65k is not much..depending on what plugs are in it---IRIDIUM'S are fine for longer than that.......? do you park outside, in damp/wet...should really not matter much anyways, depending on condition of overall vehicle.....I ONLY use A/C DELCO IRIDIUMS...$$$$$$ though.

LT1 plugs were harder to change than my LS1 plugs! change them all at one time, shouldn't take more than an hour for inexperienced and about 30 minutes the next time around. I get to #8 from the bottom. #6 is the toughest I guess but it can be done from the top. Good luck

I'd change them all, and do this job right the first time. I don't see how anyone can drive around with their car "half done." I mean, if you were getting some headwork done, would you just get one head done because you didn't have time or money, or wait until both could be done and the job finished correctly?
#6 and #8 aren't that bad. Do you have the coil rail that you can just pull forward a bit to help you out? Even if you didn't, it's not that big of a deal. No time? I really don't get that; if something's important enough to you, you make the time...
Speaking of time, I think it's kinda' wierd you had the time to post this same thread TWICE:

yes i really wanna get this right
i have a 98 t/a which means i dont got the rail. thats the only thing stopping me, because all the picture instructions on installuniversity use a 1999.
so if anyone a has a pic of a 1998 and what i should remove, that'll be so helpful.

i also have a 98, its not that hard man.... the front two are a breeze (5-10 mins.).. the back two.. should take about 30 mins.. just take of the back two coils.. its like 2 screws..
