well,i dont know who tom is, but i do believe i once bought some NGK plugs at advanced auto parts.if you dont find them there,i guess you will have to order them and tell tom you cant do them tomorrow.but im pretty sure advanced carries them.

oreillys is the only place that keeps them in stock in my area and they are also cheaper. autozone said they didnt carry them and advanced said it would take a week to get them.

I got mine from NAPA....They tried argueing with me that the tr55 didnt come in the v-power...All because they werent in their little book. Morons. They finally just went and looked and ill be damned...they have them! By the way...some kid with a civic and fart can exhaust was telling me this.

Everyone I talked to said that they werent good for my car. They said I should go back with original plugs. I was just thinking these are the same people who didnt know what a torque arm was when i was looking for a bushing about a week ago.

After finding them at a few of our sponors online, I called around to see if I could find them locally - Orlando, FL. Nobody said that they stocked them, though Advanced Discount Auto parts said they could order them from the "Warehouse", which is about 90 miles away. I went in to order them, and we discovered that they were actually on the shelf!!! The computer listed their own part number 2283 as the TR55, but when got them from the local wharehouse they turned out to be TR5s. So we pulled the 3951's from the shelf, which were listed as TR5's - stamped on the side of the box was TR55! Go figure. At $1.68 for the v-power plug, it was just not worth ordering them online and paying shipping. My apologies to are sponsers. Also, ADAP listed the TR55IX - Iridium - for $7.00 each, in the main warehouse, available the next day! If I really wanted to **** away $50 more, I would have jumped on those. Wait, I have better things to do with $50.

I got my set by driving around to "only" three different
Advance Auto Parts - three here, four there, picked up
all three the last one had and have two spares. Seems
a bit odd. But I got them. Hopefully they will become
more popular. Or is that the problem?

I changed mine in 2.5 hours. Not bad, if I say so myself. I'm sure next time - 2 years from now or so - I could do it faster!

My Autozone didnt have them, so I went to Napa Auto Parts.
