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.

Iridium and platinum plugs are just a waste of money unless you're too lazy to change plugs or are running 300+ HP out of the engine. Come on guys, these are CELICAS! On average we're makin what 135 HP out of a GT? Get some copper Densos or NGKs for like $1.29 a piece and put them in the car. I guaruntee you you won't be able to tell any difference from those to an expensive iridium plug. As for plug wires, any of that "Autozone" brand crap, especially if there like painted wires and stuff aren't meant for performance. Just replace your OEM wires or like you said the NGK premium wires, but they won't provide any real gains.
Same goes for air filters, there is no difference between different brands for a stock air filter. -------------------- 1999 Celica GT
