E3 spark plugs for 9's
 
Website says they fit and I bought 'em years ago before my crash. Now I'm about to fire it up again and wondering if these are in fact good.

Lol, okay but why? Buddy o mine uses them lots...in his boat! And they are specific to E9's, they don't even make plugs for 8's.
So why not? I'm serious and actually trying to learn stuff so feel free to yob on like I'm retarded...err, differently abled? Can I still say retard around here without getting lynched?

Ooooo, you're totally right! I hadn't ever unwrapped one until right now and I'm the first to admit learning this stuff is a thing with me and I just learned some stuff, these look like bunk. Success...also crap, I gotta get some plugs in the Age Of Corona.

That's as good as my phone would do close range to show this malarky! I think they were like 20$cad 8ish years ago and I knew even less then. I'm pretty liberal with asking **** though.

Wise decision. :headbang:

Mishimoto radiators
Kinugawa turbo chargers
Weir "Performance" rear diff MAXGRIP kit
Spec clutches
Exedy single-disc clutches
OEM pressure plate lock ring thingy
Any TOB other than OEM.
Non-OEM IACVs
D2 coilovers

The list goes on...

:lol:

P.S. Never came up because nobody has actually even considered those plugs before.

Is the Spec Clutch issue simply a 4g problem?

I haven't done any research on other platforms, but I have one of these on my 1JZ and it's wonderful.

Hey now I have a Mishimoto rad being it was the only one in my price range that would fit. I have broke more oem tobs in my dsm/evo time then any other brand. I have an exedy single in my stealth and it works great for daily work, even with 19t turbos on it.

Project Farm tested this plug and it did okay.

However, looking at the large E3 ground strap, and knowing that a failing injector can cause detonation, detonation that can knock the ground strap off of a regular spark plug, I don't like the idea of the oversized E3 ground strap bouncing around in my engine.

Maybe if my car were stock and I didn't beat on it, I'd try for the Heck of it, out of curiosity. Otherwise, I'm okay with NGK-Rs
