Dude, my S2000 came with spark plug wires??? You guys don't have them? I am going to have to get a new set soon because I am coming up on my 30K servicing...



BTW, I am running IK27's.

If you can use colder plugs without fouling them out, why not use them?

Gernby,

how did you find the performance with the regapped. I received my IK24s at .030 and regapped them to .044 and the car felt great. Unfortunately, I had to regap them back to .030 and noticed the slight performance loss.

I haven't ever tried them at anything other than .044. Unless you are FI, why would you run them at .030?

What is OEM on an S2000...probably NGK Platinum? I would just stick with that. Honda chose those plugs for a reason. Unless you're some obnoxious all-motor beast or you're FI, I wouldn't buy overpriced Iridium plugs.

So are you still using OEM S-02s, Honda OEM oil and air filters, stock exhaust, OEM Honda shocks, etc. since Honda designed a car that just so happens to be perfect for your needs?

The Denso Iridiums are $50 for a set of 4; the OEMs are $60.
