Guys I just wanted to say that if you ever go to the auto part store and buy any spark plugs or filters and ETC.
Stay away from Bosch products (Minus the O2 sensor since we can't find anything else) The worst spark Plugs you can ever, EVER buy are BOSCH platinums with the dumb looking 2,3,4 tips. These are terrible, suck a55 and will bog down your engine like no tomorrow especially when going up hills and high end reviving. I would explain my theory on these crappy a55 spark plugs but Don't want to bored you guys. So i will save my explai-nation. BOSCH sucks at spark-plugs. CRAP ----->>>>

For those NGK plugs, which material? There's quite a difference in price between the standard material and the Iridium. Plus, there's like 5 different versions of the Standard plug alone. And does paying 4 bucks a piece more really make that much of a difference in performance? Would it even matter on a 7A-FE?

I tried iridiums, they really didn't make any difference at all. I think we're supposed to get platinum?
