Thas standard Zetec one's Jon. Cossie ones are best but FRS one's are fine at lower boost levels, 14 psi easy.

they should be fine at that level but why bother? Get it done once and your sorted forever. Also a set of PP8's which should be fine for the same boost are going to be a lot cheaper than FRS plugs??

ah just read that thread. I thought the FRS ones were the ones that melted a tip.

even so may as well do it properly from the start.

Hey sketch! Haven't seen you around for ages. Hows the car? I was chatting to Karl when I was up there a while back. Sounded interesting!

Hiya Jon, alright?

What were you doing at Karl's then eh? The car is in pieces at the moment, and isnt going back together for some time i dont think. Not that i've told Karl this yet, oops Will be interesting when it is ready though, although its now being very heavily shoved in the full on track car direction, thanks mainly to a days driving a properly sorted escort in the form of Nuts Rus's 16i rally car

Good to hear that your old car was being used in anger at the Pod - excellent terminal speed shows some good power there mate!!

Iwas playing pool actually

I had a show at the NEC. Just met up for a beer.

good luck with it anyway. Can't wait to see it all come together for you.

yep I was impressed with the 112mph terminal! Mark obviously did mine right, even if others had problems with him.
