Spark Plug rant
So on the mission to buy correct spark plugs, I almost got a heart attack when acura parts guy quoted me $33 a piece!!! He could not believe it either he thought it was $33 for all six. Lol
Online sources have them for $14-$19 a piece as well, and auto zone here does not carry them at all. They only have iridium with heat range of 5, which is not really ideal for Type S engine.
Went to my local supply store, Al's Automotive, where I use to buy audi spark plugs from, and got them at $9.99 a piece! laser irridium, heat range 6. Exact same part number as the one dealer sells for $33.. if I had any time I'd to over to acura and ask to speak with parts manager, that's just raping people..

Laser iridiums have a colder heat range then standard, therefore are more suitable for firing on an engine such as type S. I wasn't going to get into a debate whether or not everyone with Type S should use them, as it's their own car.
They were $2 a piece difference at my supplier, really wasn't worth the risk. The same reason I also use premium gas in the car. But to each is own.
