hey if you want to do it the cheap way and have to keep replacing the damn stuff , then go ahead, I mean think about it , what is wrong with just doing it right the first time , this is what seperates the regulars from the guys who will get there cars noticed at shows, and races......
Me , if I can get the best and it will last longer than the cheaper crap at a marginal price gap then I am taking it ...
the ngk for the 1.5 L is like almost 74 bucks and this is for a crappy looking blue wire, now for 100 bucks to 130 bucks you can get a nice looking wire set that is thicker that the ngk or factory for that matter and has that show look you are looking for and that race purpose that you want ,

hey if you are not gonna go the mile, then fuc@ the yard

I don't think I proved your point Jesse, mainly cause i also said they are thicker and I am 100% sure they are a better quality than the ngk ...

no it is not fishy and it is not rice, I think that they are one of the few mods out there that serve 2 purposes, show and performance, . you get better conduction to the plugs ,wich you want, and they look good as hell while doing it ....

I am pretty sure people would not be used if they were crappy ..
NGK's are nice , but lets face it , they are played out , you might as well get factory wires

I rather have my engine looking good and performing good , wich it does , . Ok you have a pacesetter header , wich really is not much better than stock ,, know if you had a DC or one of the upper models , then I would understand, and I don't mind getting the show points, cause to me if I can spend an extra 20 and get the quality look with the performance to boot, then I will take it ..... you like the autocross thing , wich is good, so you don't have to show your car, ... but I like to live the best of both worlds , to the maximum ,, that is how you do it ,,... and that is why Honda's have so many parts, cause people know extremists want parts , ...
and as for the manifold , yes it is a good idea , but not really feasible for most , only cause most people may have other things that they have to take care off, and a turbo (As you Well know ) is not something that just costs you 300 bucks , you always have to spend money on that , so also take that into consideration , wich umm probably is why you don't have a turbo ..... cause you know it takes money behind money to support that

Jesse. I would never spray paint factory wires, and I hope you never do also ,,,

anyway , here is a comparo of the VitecK wires and the fatory
FACTORY:
Carbon Center Core
Plate Steel Straight Wire
No Insulation
No Reinforcement
Plate Steel terminals and Connectors
EPDM Vinyl boots and outer jackets
No outer heat protection
Three layers of build up

VITEK
Kevlar Center Core
Stainless Steel Wound Mag Wire
Inner & Outer Dual Insulation
Fiberglass Reinforcement
Stainless Steel Terminals & Connectors with snap rings
100% High Temp Silicone Boots and inner jackets
1200 degree outer sleeving for heat protection
Eight layers of build up

my uncle has a set of Moroso wires on his civc , I think they are 8mm , they have lasted a good amount of time

jeez...

...you bicker like a couple old women.

Prove it...get a voltmeter and measure the resistance of a stock wire vs a "performance" wire and settle this.

whatever man...now I know why you have 2000+ posts. Instead of proving you're right, you'd rather just get the last word.

You know Jesse, the 2.225 pipping on my 1.5L has helped it out a lot, the car is much more responsive, and with the civic intake , the car , I don't feal any drawbacks at all as opposed to when I ran the ractive intake in my car, ... I don't know if this comment was ment for me , as I have both of those that you mentioned on my car, but so you know , the 3" pipe and the 2.5" pipe both feal the same ,,
