how i wish can get for the gen2, the price is abt rm800.... dunno when can save enuf...

the price for autolite platinum ahh.... abt RM100+ abit can get already,

ha then maybe i saw it wrongly lah... by the way the car retired early. anybody knew what went wrong?

Engine failure due to either crash or just mechanical problems. Saw thw tow truck towing it at about 3am at the back stretch, quite a pity I must say..

mind if i ask.. where did u get ur autolite from? by how many KMs do u need 2 change it? is it the 1 used in perdana v6 bcz i heard it is using platinum spark plugs too..

I hear from the performance kakis at g2c, iridium plugs are the best that money can buy. All of them run on denso's iridium. Platinum is longer lasting but iridium gives better power. Even the price should say something too, platinum ones are i think 80 bucks for 4? but iridiums are 165-210 for 4.

well, i do agree that the prices also speaks abt the performance of products, hence the phrase, good things no cheap(Disclaimer: i'm not refering to anything mentioned here is no good)

Volker Iridium cost abt RM250/4pcs...

hmmm... do u feel the difference after installing the spark plugs? i mean a lot?

err... u sure platinum last longer than irridium????

Oh u mean that blue-colored Gen2 with the many colorful motifs and stickers izzit? Yups, that fellow has a G2Club sticker at his windscreen... A bit surprising that he retired early... I was thinking that the car can go all the way actually!

dat question to me??
me haven't change plug yet... exhaust more important, but no $$ to mod yet.

sorry i meant platinum lasts longer than stock plugs but no significant power improvement. Iridium it seems gives both.

ic.... but have u tried autolite duble platinum? ususally the problem with spark plugs is the wear on the tip and electrod, the duble patinum has platinum on both tip and electrode compared to the normal platinum that has it on the tip only. wear will cause inconsistant spark and this reduce power. the only drawback is u got to change it every 40K km (hopefully that long).
i am using it now and i can say they are really good and value for money.

i know irridium is good and last longer, but how is the performance after lets say 30K km? i have used NGK irridium on my previous car but it seems that after about 20-25K km, the performance seems to drop. not yet try on gen2 though.
the only ones that have been proven is volker (on paper)... how is denso or ngk?

Personally i have never used any other except the stock ones, what i said here is based on what i've read or heard from them. One member had some issue using volker iridiums though.

dunno didn't get to ask him in detail, it was the webmaster's car i think.
