I'm going to do a tune up on the car. I'm getting plugs, wires, air filter, and fuel filter. What kind of plugs/wires do you all recomend? More than likely I'm going with bosch platinum 4's again. Same with the wires, bosch. Unless anyone can tell me why I shouldn't. I've done some research, I just thought it might be nice to know what people on here think. Thank's.

Your topic reads "complete tune-up". I think you are forgetting a few things if you are going that route: timing belt, tensioner, idler, oil change, filter, tranny flush and fill w/filter, chassis lube, etc, etc.

I just changed my timing belt, and the tensioner pully is fine, idler what?, oil change is pretty much a given, if you read my info you'll see I have a manuel tranny and I just replaced the cluch and put in new synthetic tranny lub, and chassis lube what? I'm not talking about restoring the car, I'm just doing a tune up besides plugs. And this forum is open for sugestions on what else I should do and what kinds of things, so if you have any more info on what I should do or things that I didn't understand that you said, please write. Thanks.

And the air filter post: Do you really think they are all the same? I've never had anything but the "cheaper" kinds. It'd be cool if they were all the same though. I've heard that they were before, but it was from the guy at autozone, and we all know how they can be sometimes.
