Im lookin to change spark plug, any place recommendation? KoKainE Oct 15th, 09, 05:08 PM #1 (permalink)
As in the topic.

I stay at the west. Driving a mazda 2.

Changing to a better sets of spark plugs will help in almost everything. Addin power to improving fuel economy, or so i heard. Should be true coz everywhere agrees.

So, can anyone recommend me which spark plug is good? No nid too high end. And estimate cost.

Currently, the only thing i added is a broquet boostmaster.

Thanks for reading and advices that will come.

Cheers!

i reckon a spark plug change is chasing imaginary horsepower, the kind of horsepower that can be gained by putting stickers, splitters, and diffusers.

Unless you think your spark plugs are well and truly fouled (low chances because your car is new), there isnt really any point.

But if you do insist, autobacs is a good place to go. Home

Different cars has different size, it not stardard size so don't think able to transfer, 1 year average 20,000km, so 5 yrs should get you 100,000km.

yes better spark plug does give u better fuel mileage but the cost of the better spark plug compare to those normal 1. Price is a big different. For the price different if u convert into petrol, issit worth?

imo those 100k spark plug are used on those car running V6/v8 etc. where half the plugs are being blocked by the manifold thus troublesome to keep changing every 5-10k km.
