spark plugs

[ROXTAR]

So I was shopping for plugs and ended up having a choice between 2 brands. NGK and E3. Haven't had experience with either so I got E3 diamond fire. Anyone have input?

All negative reviews about E3 plugs that I've read state engine misfires after around 10,000 - 15,000 kilometres ( that's 6,200 - 9,000 miles in your crazy measurements!)

However they all seem to stem from having not properly checked and gapped them, or cleaned them. Some say taking a couple tries to turn the engine over, etc.

Most on here seem to use NGK coppers or iridium's, but variety is the spice of life! Do let us know your findings

These diamond fire are not gapable. But thank you

I just went with a set of NGK Iridium plugs that were 1 heat range colder than stock in my '08. To go colder, you need to gap them a little tighter (0.40 instead of 0.44). With new wires and valve cover gasket I have noticed a driveability improvement on our methanol polluted fuel.

thats interesting, every time i try a new type i plug, i start getting misfires and go back to the coppers.. ngk only coppers. we put in autolites one time and i didnt make it home.

You shouldn't need to replace the spark plugs for like 75-100 thousand miles in this car.

Ya I don't need to. I just felt like it. It came from the factory with NGK R's. No issues with the new ones yet

do you have more pics of your grille lights?

From inside? Maybe I'll do a write up on them
