If you have a pulley get the NGK 4285 plugs and stock wires work fine. Or you could get the NGK wires also.

NGK iridium plugs, Bosch, NGK or other cables.

Engine is stock. I was thinking about this:

I'm not sure who makes the wires though.

The 6 rather than the 7 NGK iridium plug is better on an un modified engine. Use the 7 with a reduction pulley.

I ordered a grille from Moss Mini and saw that the Jackson Racing wires were on sale for like $20 bucks! I though for $20 why not!? I installed them along with a new MSD coil pack I got off Craigslist (new for $40!) and the cars idle is noticeably better (although this could be because the original coil pack had the common terminal 3 rust).

Just checked Moss Mini and the wires are still on sale along with a bunch of other stuff.
