I run EGV\'s in mine and still will, but had one fail on ceramic insulator recently. Not sure why as engine was stone cold and drove home fine the night before.

remember they are a race plug and need changing regularly.

a guy at a local garage used the socket that comes in the tool kit in the boot of the FD, has quite thin walls anyway, grinded it out to make it a little thinner and also welded in a piece in the end so i could attach a ratchet :Thumbsup!

What do you think would cause the insulator to break apart? could it be the cold weather (air temps) as I\'ve just noticed this happen to one of my HKS Iridium plugs, symptoms were slight misfire on idle and plugs seemed to be getting fouled quickly on idle.... luckily no damage but I wont be using these again for sure :Grrr

If you are using EGVs with a HKS TwinPower there is a risk of damaging the Twinpower due to the EGVs being the non resistor type

Mark what about the HKS Irridium plugs? They say NGK on the side but branded HKS... I take it the NGK racing plugs will be okay with the Twinpower?
