Our DSM's harbor the cheapest plastic in the world

[ChrisFlo]

For those of you who have changed your spark plugs/wires, you know EXACTLY what I'm talking about. For those of you who haven't, it's the plastic spacer that holds the plug wires in place. You breathe on those things too hard they'll break.

plastic? mine is rubber...

 

[ChrisFlo]

Weird, maybe it's just the 2g's that have the plastic wire holders.

 

[92awddsm]

Mine is a 1g and has the plastic wire seperators and Ive had no problems. All mine are still intact and all original.

 

[kyledykstra]

yet another reason the 1G is far superior

 

[ADrewzki]

Yep. The plastic gets old plus the engine gets hot, then cool, then hot, then cool. Kinda takes its toll. Mine's all broke too. :thumbdown

 

[Leitnin]

Mine's all broke too. :thumbdown

no offense

mines...whats with that anyway. (sooooooooooo many the peoples saying the mines's's)

mine have all broken as well.

 

[bhop]

Mine were broken when I got the car 6 years ago. It had around 32k miles on it when I got it.

Don't flame on someone else when your own grammar is incorrect.

His was 100% correct.

My 1G had plastic.
I've broken them by gently moving them aside. It's not cheap plastic. It's good plastic, but the years of heat take their toll.

Look at the parenthesis. That's less than 100% correct.

i cant do anything to my car without a piece breakin.....engine detail....almost ALL bolts broke under minimal torque.....door handle broke w/ barely any pressure.....3 of the plastic push screws broke while taking the door panel off.....meh..least its not the engine ....

They're just not thick enough where the double wires go. I've broken the originals from years of heat and oil and the one of the replacements has broken from the slightly larger diameter NGK wires.

yeah mine broke as well. also the plastic spark plug wire cap is cracked, and those litle wierd plastic screws that hold the vent behind the stock side mount ic broke.

Plastic sucks at everything. These cars should be made of solid steel and should have engine bays that are 3x bigger just so they're easier to work on.
