The plugs are in a row on the passenger side of the engine. There are two quite close about a third of the way down, and the other two are close, another third under that. I found that they are a total pain to get proper access to unless you know exactly where to look. If you can, it might be worth trying to do it from underneith

Thanks Dehs

Ill give it a go this weekend, i got some Champion ones to put in (ebay, brand new for like under a tenner for a set of 4 woop!!)

are you sure they are the right ones, if they only cost you a tenner for 4?

Dehs · June 13, 2011, 07:38:49 PM

No worries matt, and yeah, a tenner sounds a little cheap to me, but idk?

They look legit to me... he has plenty of feedback for other spark-plug sales, and if they are old stock, it would explain the price... would probably be beneficial if someone with knowledge of these plugs were able to post...

RX7 plugs are NGK and are about Â£8 each, I wouldn\'t want electrodes pointing inside the rotor housing!

matthewbellamy · June 13, 2011, 08:39:35 PM

M1tch could it be potentially bad if i use these??

philiwily · June 13, 2011, 08:45:59 PM

They aren\'t the right plugs. Turbo engines get a lot hotter inside the combustion chamber than N/A engines.
If you need to save money buy NGK BUR9EQ instead of BUR9EQP.

Mitch you beat me to it, I got side tracked.

m1tch · June 13, 2011, 08:51:18 PM

Note the end of the plugs - nothing to get in the way of the spinning rotor or to fall into the housing!

matthewbellamy · June 13, 2011, 08:59:19 PM

Ah well back on ebay they go lol..infact would i be able to get my money back as he mis-sold me them as for RX7 and they arent?

I have seen one set of RX7 plugs that did have electrodes, which are the HKS iridium ones which seem to have a pertruding electrode, but I wouldn\'t want to run it, its why the plugs are expensive
