Drill it 1mm bigger than the plug thread, that way the plug will rattle straight out, the flamer kit wont work, and you wont look like a prize *****. :-)

When the OP comes back (if he does), the poor, unsuspecting sod is gonna feel as though he's just unwittingly walked into a wall of WWI German machine gun fire lol

the sheer stupidity of the post amazes me apart from the obvious, its not really hard to find out a spark plug size is it. any plug will do.

haha the best bit is he obviously has the spark plug and couldnt figure out that the size of the hole needs to be the same size as the spark plug so simply measure it.

It doesn't say its for an impreza, I thought they were standard on most corsas maybe the original one rattled out!

On a serious note I would get a used cylinder head, whack the spark plug in ( you could go mad and use 4 ) then jubilee clip the cylinder head to the back box, this way the plug won't vibrate loose.....

Didn't think you were allowed a flamer kit on any car other than a saxo or corsa? Also didn't realise you were allowed them if you were over the age of 17? Judging by the OP's username he is 26 and counting! Should know better!
