Guys check my plugs...Pics

Hello everyone ,need your opinions on my stock spark plugs please..

Story is.
Bought the car used from my buddy,long story but Im happy,anyways he had a boost controller,SAFC,boost gauge.

Before he gave me the car he took all the mods out... He left the boost gauge,turbo timer new alpine and thats it...

Anyways the car had 9000 miles and no problems untill I reached 14000 miles,I Kept getting the PO300 engine code about 3 times in 4 days which is random engine misfire and a common error code on our cars,I figured it was the plugs being fowled since my other eclipse V6 had the same code,and I replaced the plugs and wires and never had the code again,so Im hoping this will work for the evo also. Im guessing the plugs got tweaked with either some bad gas or when my friend was boosting 19 psi through out rpm,well I went ahead and changed the spark plugs to densos IW22 stock heat range,and also went ahead and installed magnecore plug wires also. Car fells great idle is smoother anyways sorry for the long explanation and now Im looking for you opinions on these stock plugs they look ok to me,let me know. Sorry for run ons ,grammer etc..

I checked most sites on the web and they dont show a slightly off white color...check there pics

Most likely plugs are looking good...Except one looks a bit darker..Hopefully that was the culprit of the infamous PO300

Looks like they might be running a bit hot to me.

looks lean and hot better get some tuning with proper fuel setup if modding.

Evo completely stock for now,plugs most likely got hot while bud using boost controller with slight adjustments on SAFC made by a good tuner..

Mike W. RRE In SoCal..

Im going to keep on eye on it..

Cars runs awesome except for the recent check engine lights that started at 14000 miles...

If it persists,I will go to dealer...

THe rotax link 2 stroke stuff? Wait till mitsu comes out with the TSB I've had this prob (0300) since 2,500 miles (18K now ) even bought a code tool ($140.00 @ AutoZone) clear 'em when you get the SES light and wait for the factory reflash
