tune-ups are really only needed every 40-50k miles, and if your engine is running fine, then there is no reason to do it.

which NGK plugs should I get and can I get them from a regular autoparts store or do I have to buy them online?
I will be using NGK TR55 plugs in mine soon. You can get them at a local auto parts store.

Lol, yes this is a very common joke. Although, I do believe it is "blinker" fluid.

Should I even replace the coil packs or do those go awhile without being replaced?
Only replace coils if they go bad. You can also upgrade to performance coils if you wanted (Accel's run around $200). They would probably release a couple ponies, and have been tested to give 15 rwhp or so on F/I applications.

Yeah, I think 17k is too early to do a full blown tune up. But check fuel filter, radiator flush, and transmission flush.
