figured i would start doing some engine work and found a set of these on seffects.com, was told they would fit with no problem. ordered them and waited for them to arrive. finally got em and tried to put them in. no good AT ALL!. it seemed they wouldnt go in properly and when i started the cart it just kinda sputtered in and out, dont even know how to explain it. now its a few weeks later i have no idea what i did with the box the wires are laying around and dont know what to do. any suggestions, maybe try to sell em?

youve learned a valubale lesson, now go to your local toyota dealer and buy new oem wires.
theres a reason the mr2guys use nothing but all stock ignition comonents (except for plugs) up to and over 400whp

9mm, man the Celica only requires 5mm, I ran 9mm stock on my GMC's 350 and 10.5 for racing.

dont' go to the dealer
go down to advanced auto/auto zone/shucks or watever your local parts store is and buy the OEM spec wires their, xact, autolite or watever brand they carry dealership = too expensive not worth it local parts store = same thing if not a lil better with lower cost |

I guess if you're just using your Celica for daily driving, then go for the AutoZone stuff. But if you're using it for performance, I would go for the OEM stuff at the stealership. |
