I could be off from the 17th - 4th 2010 but I plan on taking long weekends instead of taking it all at once. Best wishes for the upcoming birth.

You like those BR7ES Marc? I read some bad reviews about them fouling alot. I'm running BPR7ES, gapped at .28 (OEM), and they're burned out at 4k. I guess thats about right. Wodneirng if I should even go a step colder to 8ES

NGK br7es have worked well for me. .028 seems like a narrow gap, you want to run the widest gap possible, with your COP I would guess you can get away with something in the .03x range. I have to check my log book, but I think I'm running around a .032-.034 on my OEM ignition... could be way off as its been a while since I touched them.

About the BPR7ES plugs, I was always told to avoid the NGK P plugs, P = protruding tip, which in alot of cases is the cause for pre-ignition.

That sucks. Thats why I like the iridiums. I knwo you can't really gap them but atleas you don't have to change them out every 3k.

Pic one... there's a bunch of silly stuff like "car", "tom", "meets", "meet", "date", "import"...
Also, I can carry 5 days which I'm doing already.

I would try to run .030" for sure with that extra ignition power. Don't know about going colder though.

I thought it was 20% off what was listed in their black friday sale?

"We kick off the weekend with a 5% discount on Black Friday that increases each day until Cyber Monday at which time you will receive an unbelievable 20% discount! What's the catch? Sale pricing applies only to products within the Black Friday 2009 category and limited quantities are available which will be sold on a first come first served basis."

Maybe, and i hope, i read it wrong?

Eh, you're right Chip. I didn't read the post clearly...or fully. Damn, I wanted some engine mounts too!

Pete, I do like the OEM Iridiums alot, but I was told to move to coppers with my mods and power level, so that what I did. I dont mind changing the plugs at all, so its ok.

I'm in the market for an Evo 9 throttle body, anyone see one, let em know. THanks

Whats the difference between and VIII and a IX TB?

Also, what offset are your wheels Chu, are they the +18? Do you have to run a spacer with the +18?
