Spark Plugs
 
Get new ones, installed them. Other than renewing my hatred for replacing them. I like them.

E3 is the brand...I think. "Diamond Spark Technology" Quick easy starts now.

Best part....NO SPACING!

good to know, i think i should probably replace my spark plugs soon, i mean i dont notice anything bad right now, but my car is 8 years old now only 45,000 miles on it though, how often should you replace plugs???

I replace mine every 30k, but I know people who do it every year.

Depends on what plugs you use and what your doing. With my nitrous use I go through a set at least one a year. If I melt a plug or two on the bottle then its 1 or 2 sets a year. Normally just one a year though.

Also those plugs are a waste of cash they are super expensive and don't do anything special. Save your cash and use good old NGK,Autolite,etc...

X2. You can go ahead and waste $100+ for plugs and claim you gained power or you can spend $20 and use the extra $80 towards something that will give you power.

Its amazing how the spark plug companies have started to import metals from other "planets" just so they can charge 25 dollars for a 2 dollar part that you dont need. you dont need 78 electrodes made from some damn material from Pluto. Stay with the tried and true stuff.

It only cost me like $30....not that bad really.

But anyway, time to start looking for a new battery...any suggestions?

andysautosport.com you'll pay a fuckton but they look good, lol

usaf88 07-11-2009 07:21 AM

I used to love that site. The only thing they have I like now are some body kits for various cars.

bassman97 07-11-2009 06:42 PM

Cut that in half for good old Copper plugs, which work fine for the motorsports.

As for batteries, Interstate, Motorcraft, and Car Quest are good ones I know that are priced well. And for the most part, Optimas are over kill.

Nightcrawler GT 07-11-2009 07:30 PM

E3 are the best. Have them fro about 1yr and no problems starts every time.

Randy recommended to me some Motorcraft SP-505 plugs, I beleive they are one heat range cooler, which he said is good if you intend to beat on the car alot.

bassman97 07-13-2009 05:06 AM

They may be good but you know, my $2 Champion plugs starts my car up all the time and works fine for those in motorsports. I might have to replace them every 15,000 miles but big deal, it's cheaper, gets the job done, and if I wanted a race plug, I'd cut the ground electrode.

usaf88 07-13-2009 05:13 AM

Oh yeah. I love the some of the cheap stuff. I needed new ones bad though. And those were there. I'm going to go to Carquest today and take a look around.
