    I was changing my plugs yesterday and ripped one of the wires in the process. My auto store only had a 8mm wire for sale by its self and I didn't have the money to get a new set till this weekend so I have 6 7mm wires, and 1 8mm wire will this hurt anything? If so Ill get new wires this Friday to have all the same size. Also the end piece is a little longer then the currents ones does that affect it too?

    Thanks

    No. The thickness of a spark plug wire has no effect on an engine in spite of what some say.

    plug wires are only like $20 a set that's probably not much more than what you paid for the 1

    Haha I know that, but I put the last of what I had in my tank. Been jobless for the past 2 months so not a whole lot of spare money, esp after tranny rebuild. Started work again this week. It was 4 bucks for the one wire and I had 12 on a card I had lol

    Haha yessir. Once I get money coming in again I plan on doing a 3.4 pulley, complete exhaust and a CAI. Any good places to get a nice exhaust system for a decent price? Possibly considering a cat delete and run a test pipe, would I have any problems other then a CEL? Loved the sound of it on my last car. Also going to get a new computer before long.

    where are you located? If you're close to me I could hook you up with a tune. I'd do headers if i were you.

    You're a little over 2 hours away. I'll be heading to Muncie though sometime soon to run my car.
