Ok im going to change a few small things on my car tell me if you think these would be the best parts to use.

1.Bosch Platinum +4 spark plugs.

2.Replacing my Ractive intake setup back to the stock air box with restrictor plate removed and a drop in K&N air filter.

3.9mm ford racing cables (thanks to Pgtatx)

4.5zigen Fireball exhaust setup with 2.5 inch piping and removal of the resonator and replace it with a straight pipe, and maybe a hi flow cat.


5.Also planning on doing some exstensive weight reduction(spare tire removal,trunk carpeting removal,and possibly rear seats.)

<< Bosch premium spark plug wire set,Or is there something better? >>



Just order the ford racing 9mm wires...I paid $42 for them from a ford dealer...Downs ford to be exact. Add $7 for shipping to your door. www.downsford.com I believe...

Doesnt Ford offer 24 hour free roadside assistance in the warranty? If not i guess id be screwed.

[EricF]

Yes Ford Provides Roasside assistance, but what exactly are they going to do if you have a flat and no spare? They are not bringing you a new tire... they'll tow your car for a flat tire...more of a hassle than its worth..

i guess your right, that spare is going back in tonight.

<< 5.Replace motorcraft oil filter with K&amp;N oil filter. >>



I like the Motorcraft Oil filter...most motorcraft parts are actually pretty good...I only use motorcraft or Mobil 1 oil filters in my fords...

And replaced stock filter with the K&amp;N drop in $54. Up next is the 9mm ford racing wires, and the 5zigen fireball dual exhaust setup with 2.5 inch piping and resonator replaced with straight pipe.

What exactly are the

Bosch platinum +4 spark plugs and the 9mm ford racing wires going to do for you ? Where did you order plugs ? Easy to install ?

Thanks for info....

The plugs and wires are just higher quality than the stock ones...they will not add or make any power, they can smooth out an idle, regain some lost hp, or just make the car run smoother...but that's only if your stock plugs and/or wires are going. There's no reason to change perfectly good plugs and wires...

Bosch +4 plugs can be purchased online at carparts.com, autozone.com, etc, or just go to your local auto parts store and pick up 6. They usually go for $4-$6 a piece.
