RE: spark plugs
Not really, it just depends on how many mods you have. Now dazzel saying he changes them every 3 thousand miles, he has a big turbo and he drags the car so it would be allot of wear and tear on them. If you just use it as a daily driver, get some good NGK's or bosch supers to put in it and change them every 20000-40000 miles and you should be good to go. Good luck!!

RE: spark plugs
72000 is time to change them, I would go with some NGK's, they are a bit more expensive than some but allot of the guys on here like them, if price is a problem for you, I really like bosch supers. They are only like 1.20 a peice and work pretty good, just dont get any platnum (sp?) plugs, I dont know if you are aware but they will burn white and make your car run like s$%#. There is a thread I belive at the top box on 1st gen on why you shouldnt, good luck!!

RE: spark plugs
Stick with the stock Champion copper plugs and yes it is time to change them out for you. You may notice the car to be a bit peppier and better gas mileage.
Use a spark plug 5/8" socket. They have a protective sleeve inside the socket to prevent damage to the plug when installing.
