Spark plug Question Hey so im about to buy some plugs (ngk tr55) from byunspeed and just wondering if thats all i need to buy. Do i need to buy spark plug wires or what? Sorry for the noob question, ive just never changed plugs before. And could someone enlighten me on what gapping the plugs is, if i need to do that to the new plugs and how to do that? Also are coil packs a need to replace? Thanks

if your plug wires are in good condition then its your choice if you want to spend an extra 50 or so for plug wires. wouldnt worry about the coil packs either
gapping the plugs is just checking the space between the electrode and strap. you should gap them before you install them (you will have to get a spark plug gapper- any parts store will have them, they are cheap). if you dont have a power adder, gap them to .055 "
