I have a 99 TypeR too... I use the NGK PFR7B... but if your car is only slightly modified, i would suggest NGK PFR6B

As said 6's for standard 7's if modded, the 7's run slightly cooler Got a set from here a couple of weeks ago, he does both

eBay.co.uk Shop ? AERO WIPERS DIRECT 028 91871199: Search results for ngk PFR6B.

From experience the NGK’s lose their performance quiet quickly, clearly alot depends on a mileage and how far the car is modified. After 3 years I would suggest they would struggle to create a reasonable/useable spark.

seen specialists service schedules that change every 18k... which seems quite extreme when my subaru manual suggests every 60K .. which i think is about right as the platinum plugs lasts a long time...

whats peoples view on this?
