    Standard NGKs are fine.

    +1 on standard NGK's, but don't forget to get new wires. NGK Blues... make more difference than ANY plug, even if yours look ok.

    I read on all the forums that any form of the NGK's are great for miatas with their blue wires, I'll be doing a tune up on my Na soon with new NGK's/Wires

    Yea since the dawn of Miatadom they have been the chosen plug wire.

    BTW the V-Powers cost exactly the same $$$$ as the OE plug at O'Reilly's.... TCB FTW!

    The V power NGKs are $2.09 at Pep Boys, $2.29 at Autozone. Just bought the BRK5E-11s and swapped out plugs. I thought the early NAs to the -12s?

    Pep Boys sucks no way I'd step foot in a Pep Boys (YMMV).....

    I do like the Vato-Zone but the O'Reilly's is just down the street.

    I'm pretty sure all NA & NB Miata's use the 11's.

    I'm sure that even the NA's have different plugs between the 1.6 & 1.8.
