It has come that time again for a quick little service and i am wondering what brands i should be after. I want the car to run smooth and idle steady (which it has started to not do).
I intend to get: - Plugs - Leads - Fuel Filter - Oil + Filter I have been advised iridium spark plugs and SS Inductions "High Performance Ignition Leads" as this combination is ment to offer a slight increase in power and fuel economy yet still keeps the car running smooth. Just wondering if the above is true or if i should go another option.

Stiddy I heard that to. There is a video going around of Autotech a couple of years ago testing Splitfire's.
I would also go with the Purlator filters.

Denso irridium plugs ($12 each from ford, BA XR6 turbo plugs) ($6 from Toyota!) Top Gun leads, (apparently QLD spiral leads are great & inexpensive, Pm bi6tim) Ryco Purolater Pureone (now Supercheap have them too) & Simota filter. That is my 2 cents worth.
