and the cables too.
I think that's more a symptom of owning a Honda then bad spark plugs...
If the plugs truly are worn out, you might see a little bump in power (it's restored power, you're not really gaining anything), but I wouldn't expect much...

high density foot.
plugs and wires will make the power more smooth (and may actually revamp it to what it was) piece of advice order some 10mm core offa ebay get some ngk iridiums(sp).
For power.... you're ricer i take it there is an intake....so clean your air filter, get a header back exhaust with an expirimental cat (hehehehe wont pass emissions i don't think)
but some performance stuff.
I think it was brutal that actually stated TORQUE on FWD cars = bad
HP = good.
Try to balance it with about 30 to 40 less torque than hp, and find the % weight in front of the car and set the torque up to pull that but no more than you need cause you're just goin to spin your wheels and not go anywhere.
TORQUE is the shizz for old gas guzzlers.

I was just saying that Hondas are torque-less little things. Torque is good if your car is properly set up for it (i.e. good suspension, good tires, LSD, possibly some traction bars, etc.). This is the inherent weakness of trying to build a fast front-drive car though, traction will always be a problem...

its a drivers race between those cars make sure its a race header and it will open it up a lot.my cousen bought a civic si 2007 and i drove it and its way faster than my rsx . every tells me that its no a big difrens but i felt more power than mine.. i got mine for 6 month and i know my shit its slow... tomorow im going to put headers no cat.. to see if it still slow if it still slow .. i will buy a sing FOR SALE...
Give yours a nice intake, a decent quality race header, a nice exhaust, and a tune-up and you should feel a nice difference...

ngk platinum iridium laser welded plugs their racing plugs costs about hundred bucks from kragens and are worth ever penny and if you dont believe me go find out for yourself
How do you know that's not a placebo effect? Did you actually dyno your car stock versus just with the new plugs?
