#24876, "spark plugs"


          

I heard is I change my spark plugs to the NGK's in the Power upgrade stages I need to change them every 7K miles or so. How do I know when I will need them. Will the car not start? Is is necessary to change them every 7K miles or just a good idea so they are fresh. Just wondering since most people never change their spark plugs.

MODS:

HRC 16g turbo kit, Spearco custom FMIC, Custom IC piping, VT rebuilt engine: Custom 8.8:1 compression CP pistons, Eagle connecting rods, Melling oil pump, Clevite bearings, 370cc injectors, Vortech S-FMU, Apexi N-1 catback exhaust, AFX UDP, Autometer boost gauge, fuel pressure gauge, EGT gauge, Corbin's digital A/F gauge, Tokico Blue shocks, Tein springs (1.5" drop), 18" Konig Verdicts rims, VIS stock-style Carbon fiber hood

It's not like they cost that much, I usually just swap mine out when I do the oil change....only like 8 bucks for new plugs so it's not like it'll break your piggy bank...

if you buy platinum plugs it should last alot longer than normal. it will cost more but, you don't have to change them every so often because the electrode lasts longer.
