R50/53 Spark Plug/Wire/Coil Pack Suggestion
#26
Unless your car is misfiring, a new coil pack will do exactly zero for you. The solution to that expensive Mini OE coil pack is to buy a Dodge Neon or PT Cruiser coil pack, like this:

Is it possible or is there any draw back from using 1 step colder spark plugs in a stock r53? Looking to do a tune up to the car but still running the stock supercharger pulley. May upgrade in future which is why i want to put the 1 step colder spark plugs the car now. Just not sure when the pulley will be changed.

I've had one MSD die on me and replaced a second MSD with the OEM one, because my Mini kept stalling when it got hot. No problems since going back to the OEM.

Anyone have any experience with THESE WIRES? I'm at 100k miles and I think it's about time for some new plugs and wires, plus these come in a variety of colors, gnarly! My cars not misfiring, just doing some preventative maintenance.
As far as those $200 wires go... That's a bit insane!

IF your coil pack needs replacing, BERU makes one which is identical to the factory, but has the gold/brass terminals which don't rust and you won't have any fitment issues as the holes and OEM hardware to mount it is all the same.
For those those that put dielectric grease on contacts - DON'T, it's not what it's for. You put dielectric grease on boots/sparkplug body to seal against moisture/air getting inside to the contacts and also to insulate against wayward spark getting out. It should go no where near any electrical contacts as it prevents conductivity.
DIELECTRIC = INSULATOR

For plugs, NGK EQUP or BRISK LGS-T - no problems with them fouling up and long lifespan.
