tried some recently, the car starts a LOT better with them in, however it might just be me but it doesnt seem to run better, i feel it was slightly quicker with the normal BKR6EK plugs

the idle is pretty good going off the gauge but if you listen to the engine it sounds like its missin more than normal at idle

bought some normal ones to go back in see if its just me imaginin it

nice one... im running the platinum tipped ngk's at the mo which seem good, i think they are 1 step colder from standard, with the iridiums being 2 steps from standard? not quite sure how its worked out.

Got to fit my Denso Iridiums soon.

How much are new coil packs?

Replaced my dizzy and rotor 18 months ago and they were shot to pieces. Also running Magnecor leads so only weak point will be any wear on the Champion EON's I have in now and the coil pack.
