Live Wires are pretty expensive, take a look at www.raceandsteet.com for their Crane Fire Wires. Probably one of the better sets out there, and at a good price.

If you're going to change your wires in hope of a performance gain, please save your money. Plug wires, espicially on a small low-power engine, is not going to do a thing. I know some here might say they feel a difference, but you're only kidding yourself. Even if it "made a difference" (it won't) the car is still going to be slow.


Just save your money for something useful.

Yep.. But the purpose of this board, especially for newer members is to gain information from the experiences of older members. Questions... Ask Away. I used the Cranes and Champion Double Platinums and am pleased with the results.

True, but since this forum has been going since 2001, and you can search through every last post if you use the archives, there's virtually almost nothing anyone can ask or say that hasn't been discussed to one point or another. This forum would become almost baren except for odd and end snipets. Even the mods that people are doing, 95% of them we've seen on someone's PT before.

I go to shows 3-4 times a month, post pictures. Shows are all the same, a few different cars/girls but nonetheless all the same. Some people like to see em, some don't.

If you don't like to see the same questions asked, move on to the next posting. Let the one's who want to share their info, give it to who's asking. Doesn't hurt one bit.

Yes BUT== the Factory Wires were selected for low cost, not long service life, and should be replaced when the plugs get replaced, as a preventative;

As for performance:
A plug wire that ain't working is bad for performance, even if it is only intermittent misfires.

But a working wire is all you really need, there is no extra power to be found once that sparkplug fires.
It all comes down to reliability.
A set of high-quality aftermarket wires will give years of dependable service.
