Good day all. First, I have to say that I just bought my new WRX a month ago and really love it. It saved my a** in NY when I was following my cousin up in the hills and we ran up on some melting ice/snow in a turn. She held quite well!! Couldn't have done it with out the beauty of all wheel drive. Could you imagine the cops at that accident, two wrx's sitting up against a snow bank!!!

Ok, just wanted to share that, the reason for the post is that I looked under the hood to check out the spark plugs (bought the car with 11k and it now has 17k). I want to replace them with some better ones. The problem is that I can not find them. I just got rid of a honda civic and I had owned a chevy with a 350. This is new for me. If there is anyone that can help, please reply.

PS, for those out there that might suggest looking in the manual or any other booklet that comes with the car, I have them on order and probably won't see them for a while.

Thanks, wrxxxr8d

 

It's a horizontal 4 engine, the spark plugs are in pairs on each side and down pretty low. They can be changed without taking it to a dealer, but it takes a bit of time.

 

ej22's are pretty easy.
ej25's suck, but once you learn the tricks, its not too bad.
ej20's are worse. there's just so little room to work in. and the have the coil pack right on them, to make it even trickier.
but if you look down on your valve cover, you will see the coil packs, the plugs lay well below those.
