I was planning on doing a bit of an overhaul on my 1988 RX7 FC this weekend, until I started calling around for parts availability. I live in Kingston, Ontario, and was planning on doing the work in Trenton, at my parents place.

Here is what I had planned:

New plugs
New plug wires
Replace O2 sensor
Replace fuel filter
Drop in air filter (not sure which one... suggestions?)
Oil change
Tranny fluid change

The plugs that NAPA have online are $20-25 each, which seems sort of extreme compared to what I have seen online, plus I would have to order them.

Where do all of you Ontario guys buy parts? I want to do plugs and oil this week at a minimum, but I havent been able to find plugs.

Thanks!

I tried Parts Source, and they were a little more reasonable, but compared to what I have read, the prices still seem extreme!

BUR9EQP - something like $16 each I think they said. Is this really a horrible price, or have I just been seeing American prices that are far far lower?

I read something about getting a O2 sensor for $10, $44.99 on sale at Parts Source.

I really dont want to order everything I need then find out I can get it for 50% cheaper somewhere else lol.

I got my plugs last year from Himni Racing, as part of a larger parts order. Don't remember the price, but it was a lot better than local - about $10/per.

New plugs.I may have an extra new set.
wires.I got a set,cheap.
Universal 02 by Bosch will suffice,you will have to alter the wires to connect it.(no big deal)
oil change: 10w30 and a Wix 51356 filter.(Benson's carries the filters.)
Fuel filter.Napa,Benson's..Mazda?
Trans Fluid: Redline Mt90.(synthetic)...Or semi-synthetic CDN Tire stuff is fine too.

Well, oil change was simple... easy to find the filter and common oil.

Plug wires have been purchased, but plugs I am still having no luck with. Part Source told me my plugs/wires would be in this afternoon, but I got there and they only had my wires, and the guy told me that he doesnt think he can even get the plugs.

misteryx69,
Would you be willing to part with those extra plugs? This is my DD, and you seem to be the closest person to me with plugs available. On one of the plugs, the metal tip actually pulls out of the ceramic and my car is not running too well, so the sooner I can get my hands on a set, the better.

Thanks!

Pm me to remind me Joe.(send Ph# By Pm if you want)
My days have been forgetful lately..
I know I got tons of 9's..I think I got a set of 7's left.
You need 2 7's and 2 9's by the way.

The reason the plugs are so expensive is because you are getting the platinum ones. That's what the p at the end of the part number stands for. It's hard to get anything but the platinums now though. I tried getting plugs last year and all I could find available was the platinums.
