Agreed. I've just replaced mine with OEM, would go there before some aftermarket jobbies. Can't remember how much they were, as I've had them sitting around for awhile while the GT4 was off the road.

OEM is BEST.

Number 8 wire and duct tape bro. Will be sweet as.

But seriously, who is the new TGP sponser who took over from Rev? Can't remember his nick (Sorry bro!), but he might be able to sort you a good deal on Toyota ones.

Edit: Its 1I1. Sorry 1I1 :)

I made them. Got a few metres of the cable on trademe (it's pretty thick/solid/chunky stuff - very nice quality) and crimped the ends myself. Not that hard and far cheaper than paying Toyota $150 for a set that last just as long and do the exact same job....but hey some people insist on throwing away money :lol:

It's not about throwing money away or what, it's about having it look and perform original with added reliability, I don't trust my crimping skills, and the factory plugs gives it a nice seal to prevent water and dust.

At worst the eagle leads perform the same as (or better than) OEM and are just as reliable. The dust caps are also transferable or you can get new ones.

iOnic, you need to stop ASSUMING that just because you can do something, everyone else can too.

Would I ever buy a prebuilt computer? No, why would I when I can build one for a lot cheaper? Everyone should. But everyone can't.
Yesterday I fixed up a computer for a guy who had taken his CPU heatsink off and put it back on and it wasn't running properly.
Took me 2 minutes to get it back on right, but he couldn't do it properly.
Piss easy for me, difficult for him.

Crimping leads may be easy for you, but others might weild disasterous results. What would happen if you didn't crimp properly to the core for example? :P

Eagle leads can be bought pre-made for $80 :) That's the original reason behind my "about half the price of OEM and work just as well" comment. I only mentioned crimping as it's another option which is quite clearly a lot less than half of ~$160. Whether you crimp them yourself or buy them pre-made is up to the individual but I wouldn't be so quick to say OEM is the "best" option. Yes it works but that's about it

Magnecor leads are awesome get them through thundercords in australia.

Cost me about $170 for mine which were 8.5mm competition leads.

I used eagle for a little while but they fell apart not long after as I used to change spark plugs quite regular between street and drag.

I found out that one of my spark plugs was cracked last week on my el cheapo daily driver...

Rang Toyota, and they wanted $300 or so for a new set :roll:

I went to pick a part, found some others that fit, for $8.

Car has been running perfectly ever since.

Plugs or leads? HGP plugs for the Integra are listed at about $240 for a set. Aprox $15 ea trade price at repco.
