    $15 every few months? :laughing:

    buy a bunch in bulk from ngk.com. use the TGC discount so it's cheaper in the long run. i bought like 50 the other day so i'll never need spark plugs again for the rest of my life

    Okay, Don't know why I was thinking it would be expensive (maybe its that I'm already spending a wad on the Galant -DOH! )

    it is expensive. if you're not doing it yourself. but if you're in that situation, you either learn how to do the plugs yourself or know sum1 to do it for cheap, or you learn not to use the nitrous.

    if you change your spark plugs like, 4 times, you'll be pro. i had to take my valve cover and shit off so many times when i was building my motor, that after a few times, i had it down to a science. if you gave me just torque specs, i could prolly tear it down and reassemble in like, an hour and a half. if your worried about money, just learn how to do it yourself.
