Need some advice on Ignition wires for 01' RS
I'm looking to get some new ignition wires for my Impreza RS (01'). The wires that I really like are the Nology Hotwires in blue. I have to have blue wires to go with my blue theme under the hood. Now I can only find them for the 99-00' RS 2.5L. My question is: Will these work for my 01'? I would think that it would (but I don't know the changes if any, they made from year to year). I need an expert opinion. Any thoughts? If they won't work, anyone know another good brand? The Magnecors do exist for my model, but are only in red, so I can't do it. Thanks in advance for any replies. Later!

OK, I got the info I was looking for. I called Nology to see if they even make the Hotwires for an 01' RS and to see if the 99-00' Hotwires would work. The guy I talked to said he was glad I called because many people have had problems with this.
The 99-00 Hotwires DON'T WORK! They are a different size and don't fit. And something to do with the difference in wiring. Nology does make Hotwires for an 01' RS, but the only place to get them besides Nology where they are $200 is Summit Racing. I called Summit Racing to see if I could order them there. The 01' Hotwires weren't even in their system (no one has ordered them). They put them in, and had to special order the Hotwires for me. You save $40 through Summit. If anyone is interested or has been looking the Part Number is: 011564176. These are for the Blue ignition wires. For other colors you will have to call Nology. The website is www.nology.com, and it is under "Contact Us". To contact Summit Racing the number is 1-800-230-3030. Hope this helps and saves you time. Regards. |

I just found out that the denso iridium plugs don't go well with the Hotwires. The best combination of spark plug with the Hotwires is the Nology Silverstone plug. They don't last as long as the iridiums, but silver is the best thermal and electrical conductor out there, better than copper (2nd best conductor), gold (3rd), Iridium (4th), Platinum (5th), and Nickel (6th). Iridium is less than half as conductive as silver. If interested here is the site:
http://www.nology.com/silver.html Summit racing sells these plugs for $6.95/each Pretty cool. Now I just have to wait for my order |

The "2001" RSs sold in the US were all made in 2000 and are quite the same as that model other than the fake carbon trim. Take a look at the actual build date on the door. I believe the 99 and 98 plug wires are each unique, though.
That said, what's wrong with getting stock wires? I learned Magnecores are hit and miss when it comes to fit. At least with the usual NGK BKR6E11s. |

Nothing is really wrong with getting stock wires. I just wanted something different, and I wanted to go with the color theme of blue. I know about the hit or miss of Magnecors so I didn't want to go with them. Plus they only come in red. So I'm going with asthetics and better performance then stock.
