The fuel filter is just to the left (right from where you will be looking) of the battery on the firewall. As far as plugs, I do like NGK, but have heard good things about Denso plugs as well. I wouldn't waste the money on the iridiums that are recomended, but just go with a bkr6e-11

Go with an NGK copper or platinum plug, no need for expensive iridium plugs.

only reason they recommend iridium is cuz they withstand more heat and are harder.

yea i wouldnt doubt it. iriduim is just proven to be 5 times harder than platinum so it withstands better. either way if somethings goin wrong they will melt, but its gonna take a lot. im goin ngk iriduim plugs when i do my tune up.
