ok i have 87000 on the odometer and want to change the sparkplugs
i've done a search and can't find what i'm looking for so heres my ?
what spark plugs would you use in a 03mcs with a 15% pulley and an alta cai. i know it's not a lot of mods just want to know if anyone has used a colder plug and how did it perform.

 

[SIZE=2]I switched to Denso spark plugs - IK22 5310
they are great
[/SIZE]

 

are they colder than stock?

 

Contact Chad at Detroituned he will set you up with the right plugs, 586 484-1158.

 

thanks i'll give him a call

 

gmtech welcome to NAM, its a great place to be, you can find out anything you want to about a MINI. Love to see some pics of your MINI, you can see mine in my gallery.

 

After reading about recent spark plug issues, I'd get the ones that stay screwed into the heads. IK22's seem to have a bad reputation. If you haven't already read this thread, you may wish to.......

here you go dragonmann be nice. https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...ad.php?t=70380
yes i did read the thread on the plugs that loosen and strip out the head. thanks for the heads up though

 

Looks great, love the stripe. Have you considered going all the way to the ground with it?

 

it took me 7hrs to put those stripes on. my back was killin me. to the ground do you mean down the rear bumper ? if so i gotta order more stripes cause i messed up a section and had to do it over.

 

Yes thats what I meant. I know how you feel. I redid my front ones twice and it took forever.

 

Go with the stock ones from the dealer. I bought the IK22's and they made the car sluggish. It's get-up and go, got-up and went. So I bought some brand new OEM's and back to zippin along. Oh and I have a 17% pulley, CAI, and one ball with no pinging. Pulls hard, right to redline

 

Not to seal your thread here, but 7hrs! I am thinking about doing that to my PW/B MCS. My biggest question is how did you manage to get the strips through the letters?

 

I put the IK22's in when I did the Webb pulley, per the recommendation of Randy and Brian. I have actually noticed a positive effect and increased power along with gas mileage since the change.

I guess there may be varying factors at work...

 

The one thing I have learned is that every MINI is different, they all have different personalties.

 

predmini you take the emblems off they are only held on with double face tape. just be careful not to break them.
