    Recommendaiton for Wires and Plugs

    I would like recommendations for high performance type and company to purchase plugs and wires. I use my 1991 Miata for driver's education at Sebring and other tracks.

    Everything I've read has indicated that, at least in the miata, you gain no benefit from a "better" plug or wire. Miatas respond best to NGK blue wires and OEM style plugs.
    2012: Purchased Miata, Laid off 3 days later. 4th place overall (default!), NWOR SCCA (RTR)
    2013: Budget RTR build, massive increase in participation, 3rd place overall, NWOR SCCA (RTR)
    2014: Suspension and more active competition in STS. 3rd place overall, NWOR SCCA
    2015: Time for some "form" and vintage styling (while still racing NWOR, of course).

    Unless you have some crazy mods to your motor, stay stock, stay safe.

    R-speed plug wires are the best I've had. They get dirty quickly when you work on your car, though.
    But they're very nice quality and my car's pretty happy with them.

    Plus you're supporting a great vendor.
