Cold plugs
« on: 22 October 2013, 16:57 »
Anyone here running colder plugs? I'm thinking of going a stage or maybe two colder. You're probably wondering why two stages colder.
So, what plugs are you running and why?

I run IK22s and they have been brilliant on my spec, when they go Im going to try the NGK7s because the Denso aren't cheap
ARZ K03s, Oettinger Side Skirts, R32 front, Carbon stage 2, Forge 007p (yellow spring), Forge Actuator (yellow spring), Pipercross panel filter with DSG parts, N249 and N112 deleted, SAI deleted, Carbon canister deleted, Rear wiper deleted, Long Life turbo back custom exhaust with 200 cell sports cat, VR6/G60 clutch kit, Creation Motorsport TIP, Catch can, 'Wellycooler', K04 charge pipe, S3 ported inlet manifold - looks pretty standard on the outside though :)
