£45 approx IIRC? Might be cheaper from a Partco type place - more like £35-40.

I'll second 0.7mm.

On some hesitating modded cars, usually it is about 0.85 and tightening up to 0.7mm makes a nice difference.

Cool

Trying to get a few bits together before my next service.

So then, what would be the spark plug of choice for a scoob?

Platinum, Titanium etc etc etc........

Cheers

general consesus seems to be to stick with the standard platinum NGK's on a standard turbo, minor mods go one range colder i think (6-7)

John, Secret Agent Man, how much did you pay for your 7B's?
believe these are iridium tipped rather than platinum?

thanks
