I am rebuilding a 95 ST 1.8L Automatic. It has been sitting for about two years, but I think she is going to be ready to go by the end of next month. I am looking to do a complete tune-up. I am not looking to spend a lot of money. Also, would I get decent gains of a CAI? I know on my eclipse it is OK. Some cars react to parts differently. Any input is greatly appreciated. >>

I second the NGK. They won't cost you alot either. Stay way from bosch,they run too hot in our cars.

where can I pick those up at? Does ngk make wires as well? How much do those usually run?

Just go to any old parts store. Ask for whatever you need. They'll probably have a couple different brands to select from.

I dont think he's looking for gains with the plugs and wires...just a tune up. He can get NGK OEM plugs.

wouldnt the stock plugs be denso.... considering they make all the other electrical crap on the car?

For plugs and wires, go NGK, or Denso. Dont get any special plugs or anything, no need... The plugs should run about $1.99 each or less.

When I needed to change my plugs I asked for stock and was given NGK ones so...

Just go with OE type NGK wires and plugs. No need for anything special there.

On intakes....expect a good cold air intake to deliver gains between 3 and 8hp peak (depends greatly on other mods...i.e. exhaust). Torque will be where the big gain is. I've seen as much as 13ft-lbs from an intake on that motor. A shorty intake won't give you anything, in fact you'll probably lose power in hot weather.

if you ask for stock plugs from kragens or something then they will give you NGK's, because all of em are either stupid or drive honda's (dont know which one is worse) Stock plugs are made by Denso. Why would toyota contract out every other piece of electrical components to denso then use NGK plugs?

Some came with nippon densos some came with NGK...to my understanding.

Thanks for all the good info. I am not really looking to turn it into a race machine or anything like that, but I figured a CAI would be a good cheap mod. So I should get a full one instead of a short-ram style....what is a good inexpensive longer one? I know I could "make" one, but I'd rather not. I have had to many bad experiences with ghetto intakes.

As far as the plugs go, NGK seems to be the way I should go.
