yeah... I do that sometimes with tools..i'll leave a screwdriver or socket wrench under the hood and it falls out, or makes the hood have a nice little gap.

BTW, your car looks hella clean. I dunno bout the blue neons tho... haha j/k.

I have ractive wires on mine. Ugly but damn good quality wires. Apparently the width doesn't matter, it's what inside that matters. I would go with name brand, besides, you get what you pay for.

I`ve found a few on ebay.com, but there is one that is 10.2mm and another which is 8.5 mm. The 10.2mm is cheaper. Why is that? Fit they both into my car?

here is the link:

Thx, Picur from Hungary
Don't be to confused between 10.2mm, and the 8.5mm....
Chances are the 10.2mm are no different than the 8.5mm as far as the wire strands is concerned.......
The 10.2mm may infact just have more insulation, that doesn't mean that it is any better than the 8.5mm, even though the manufacturer claims it is triple core that doest mean JACK. What does matter is the type of wire strand "metal" the company used, in this case CRAP, thats why they rienforced the wire 3 times..........
Don't be fooled by the ebay seller either those crap wires are made in CHINA, not Japan, chinese manufacturing stinks, and I don't like it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Besides how much insulation do you really need, unless it is NOLOGY I wouldn't waste my money or time with the 10.2mm, nology are thick with insulation for a reason, the wires have an additional grounding wire.
Honestly I would only stick to the name brands. Nology, bosch, NGK, accel, autolite, they have been in business for years and have built a reputation for quality.

I'm running Aurora wires, 8.5mm - good quality, good price ($43 SOHC / $59 DOHC) from PDM Racing. Had them since October 03 and they're still in great shape - and they come in red or black, for you color-matching people =)
