I can dig through some old receipts if it really is necessary. Good plugs by the way.

cheers folks, especially FletchCossie for what looks to be the finis code, which is what i need to buy them from a dealer over here.

i would buy them from mike, but probably won't see him until his easter 'ring trip as he doesn't turn up at norfolk group meets if he knows i'm coming

if that's the right part number, then yes, apparently they are good for tuned yb at least above stg3. that's according to mike r and stu, who both know their shit when it comes to plugs (spark plugs or butt plugs ).

can't believe they're only 93p though

They certainly arent 93p at the dealer i buy mine from

They are a good plug, yes, but theyre certainly no NGK 9
But for the price of em you just cant go wrong really can you?

So far tested at up to 530bhp, so a VERY plug. I rate them better than the NGK 9s personally and at less than 1/5th the price of the 9s - considerably better value... .

I have loads in stock (see my website for prices).

Depends on the condition of your ignition system. Ideally you want a Grp A high energy coil and your leads to be in tip-top condition. I would then suggest that you start at 23 thou' and either open (or close) them a thou' at a time until you get to the misfire point, then back them off to the point before it started. You want the biggest gap you can run without a misfire....

I have a GpA coil already fitted with blue Ford Motorsport leads and she never missed a beat before the box went bang

Will save fitting the plugs till she's back up and running and give it a try, cheers

No, they are not AFAIK, but then again Ford might be using them for all I know, but they are not specifically WRC plugs.

Stu,
I treated Matt's comments with the contempt they deserved , as I could fit a cat / closed loop set up and pass the emmission regs for the year of my car . It even runs at almost lamda one as it is in normal driving .
