Just beware of fake NGK and Denso Iridium plugs... It's almost impossible to tell the fakes from the original unless you have a known original plug to compare side by side.

QUOTE(efaceninja @ Nov 10 2013, 10:26 PM) I also takut get fake plugs... so i maybe plan to buy from reputable LYN seller. And i suppose i can estimate a seller as reputable or no by looking at the number of page of his WTS thread??? lol. ahahaha... Buy from reputable workshop or auto parts shop.... that way if fake can go back complaint. I buy from my regular mechanic if he dare sell fake parts to me... I'll 'accidentally' burn his shop to the ground... that's my common joke to him. |

There's an easy way to check..
Just take the Iridium spark plug out and check the electrode tip. If after 50,000 km still good condition then no need change ler... Buy the correct tools and you can do it at home during weekends. |

QUOTE(efaceninja @ Nov 12 2013, 06:54 PM) but my spark plug is placed under my air box and is on the inner side of the engine.. on the side that's closer to the outside i think its fuel line that will make the job harder... have to remove the airbox first (at same time can wash it, that's what i do everytime I remove the airbox)Just see how ur regular mechanic does it, then just follow the same steps. |

QUOTE(rcracer @ Nov 13 2013, 08:41 AM) iridium cant last 100k km, i did use mine for that long and when i took them out, there was no more tip, just a flat rounded stub. lol. but still they fired but on cold start was jerky Sure original Iridium plugs?I got con before with fake Iridium plugs... really cannot tell the difference unless compare side by side. The fake plugs doesn't last as long as original Iridium plugs. When I remove the fake plugs at 50,000 km can see a lot of wear. Original plugs, even after 50,000 km still look like new... but never tried until 100,000 km la... |
