n3g, n3c, or n2g, n2c if you want to go one colder. halfords and the like tend not to stock them though.

:)I use NGK B8-EG. Fine for me, never had a problem with them. They are the same spec as many of the supposed 'tuners' used to supply for 'high boost applications'.

Cheap enough...

Why is there such a price difference?

[Brigsy]

I use ngk B8EVX, have done for years with no problems. The std gtt plugs (champion?) were ok last time i tried a set.

[Bigfoot]

Wont get them as cheap as £5.11 but try any factors. For my company we can charge them out at £1.50 + vat each. Did offer these plus many other service parts to the club as could build up service kits to then people to purchase but nothing came about of it :(

[Bigfoot]

B8EVX plugs are not the cheapest of plugs, £13.52 for me from work.

Dale, get on it again mate! There is alot of movement that can be done with MPD prices ;)

[Bigfoot]

Thats the list I gave them, this was back in March this year though so things might have changed by then. But I did offer to sort this out then drop them off when we meet at national day. Obviously this too late now though. But im thinking that also how many people are going to get all these when you might not save that much or can get cheaper elsewhere.
