That's the ones for the 3S-GTE - not sure but these must be the ones for the 3S-GE right Slick? Very nice purchase BTW

X1000 Slick - don't just change the wires get you the plugs and the cap and rotor to go with it. Do it right the first time bro.
NGK plugs, TRD wires, OEM cap and rotor FTMFW. I suggest Iridium plugs [I love them] but I'm sure I'll get called on that. But think about it this way - you sprung for the best wires why strap them to normal plugs?

Yea, they're the 3SGE plug wires.

Thanks, D-man. I was hoping that they would be NGK because that's just about the only type that I can get arouond here. Except for Bosch, but I hear that they're not that great.

Thanks Death. I'll be purchasing my plugs tomorrow. I know what the distributor cap is but what rotor are you refering to?

Oh, and i couldn't wait to put them in! Oops! tongue.gif Here are some crappy cellphone pics. I haven't driven it around yet but I'll do that plenty this weekend. Thanks for the comments guys

No problem bro. Like I said - spring for the iridiums - they're not that much from NGK.com so if you need one of us over in the states to help you let us know.
the rotor is the arm under the cap that spins - I think you guys over there call it a dizzy arm or something? You need all four parts to do it right. For those parts the only way to go with your good plugs and wires is OEM - don't cheap out.

Any chance of getting the part numbers? I guess it would be easy to look up at ToyotaWorld.

IDK - I think we only got the 1st gen 3S-GE - call your Toyota dealer they should know.

Those are very nice looking, I wish NGK's had color options for their wires, because I'm tired of looking at my blue wires in my engine bay.

But I don't see how these could be any better than the NGK replacement wires.

Iridium plugs= Denso or NGK are they way to go (please dont into the denso vs NGK discussion again)
