Spark Plugs (E3's)

I just took out my old NGK spark plugs and replaced them with E3's. I was wondering has anyone used these sparkplugs before because i was looking at some reviews on the E3's website and there were good and bad but some had said that there were miss fires or when you wanted to stick the pedal down it would misfire.

Multi-prong plugs are nothing but a gimmick and a waste of money. The OEM plugs are fantastic quality and last damn near 100k miles. I see no reason to run anything else, unless you need a colder plug for running a turbo or something.

So these shouldn;t be changed until around 100k?

Nice. Thank's for the clarification. Man, I love the silver ra. There is a silver ra auto trans that I'm really tempted in trading my ra for down the street.

Service manual says change them at 90k intervals, so somewhere around 90-100k~ish

Does anyone know if our spark plugs have a tappered of flat seat? I'm going to try and see if there are any (even slight) gains from indexing them.

^^Just for future reference and to answer my own question, our spark plugs are the flat seat type with the mandatory washer.
