How to Video: Change your Spark Plugs
There has been talk of changing spark plugs.
Being a 2008 model, many of us are reaching the 50,000km or even 100,000km point in our cars.
The stock spark plugs are:
NGK OEM iridiums which are good for up to 100,000km.
Though many have reported some corrosion on theirs when checked.
As a result, there has been interest for new spark plugs.
This is intentionally made to coincide with the May rush of group buys in order to take advantage of group couriering everything between states.
the parts on offer are for 4B11(2.0L) and 4B12 (2.4L) Lancers.
These are:
Minimum order is 40 plugs or 10 sets.
For 4B11:
NGK FR5EI
RRP= A$16.99 ea or A$67.96 (set of 4)
Trade = A$9.40ea or A$37.60 (set of 4)
CCJ GB= A$8.00 ea or A$32.00 (set of 4)
For 4B12:
NGK FR6EI
RRP= A$16.99 ea or A$67.96 (set of 4)
Trade = A$9.40ea or A$37.60 (set of 4)
CCJ GB= A$8.00 ea or A$32.00 (set of 4)
EOI List:
1.

I've never heard that said. I read google awhile ago and saw:
Spark plugs are all about conducting electricity between a gap to ignite the air/fuel mixture. The better spark you get, the more complete burn you get, and the more power you get out of the fuel you're using (and less emissions, too). To get a better spark, you need to use a good conductor. Copper is one of the best conductors available for spark plugs, and is dirt cheap, though it has pretty short life span. Nickel and platinum aren't that great, and are only used by manufacturers because of their extended life span.
Iridium is the best of both worlds. Even though iridium itself isn't the best conductor, it's extremely hard. It'll last the longest of any spark plug tip material (some are rated up to 100K). Being so hard, the tip can be made to a fraction of the size of a normal one. This creates a very concetrated spark in comparison, which easily negates the lower conductivity of the metal. Iridiums are know to ignite lean mixtures that other plugs can't, which would definitely help fuel efficiency.
