Had some Autolite brand my mechanic put in and the wire plugs kept popping up while driving and made the car sputter and I had to stop the car,get out and push it back down and it would run for a bit then pop back up. So after reading some threads yesterday and alot of people recommended NGK brand so I got the wires, and the oem v-power NGK plugs too. So far so good and I like the blue color.

Gee, nobody else likes blue, well I do. Your picture motivates me to clean the engine up but I am going to wait for my 210,000 timing belt change.

I don't think you can go wrong with NGK on your Civic.

Yea my car has 201,000 miles on it now, I had a timing belt change at like 130,000. Not this weekend but the next I am going to change all of the engine mounts with new ones I have bought the other day, and change the timing belt, and tensioner all at one time. My upper driver side engine mount is loose that bolts onto the engine, ughh I hope the threads arent stripped. Gotta tighten that up. My engine wobbles and vibrates only when I press the gas while going 40mph and gets worse at 60mph.

Yeah I had crappy mechanic plugs too. I just ended up going with the napa belkin wires and ngk iridium plugs. No real benefit of having iridium over copper plugs, except the iridium plugs will last an ETERNITY.
