best spark plugs for ibizas????

[chris999]

just wandering what would be the best spark plug to go for, i have a mk2 1.4 8v ibiza. Is it true that a decent spark plug can slightly improve performance and reliability???
i would appreciate any advice and knowledge!!!
cheers, chris

A decent signal gives you a decent spark as long as the plug is good. So in short all of the leads and points need to be clean/good connections to give that maximum signal strength.

As for spark plugs I went for the VAG ones from the dealer, you might as well do the leads as well if they are a bit tired, dizzy cap and rotor arm as well lol.
All in all I spent around £50 for the plugs from Seat dealer, leads from VW spares, rotor arm and dizzy cap from EuroCarParts.
All my parts were a bit tired after 60k miles (R Reg ibiza gti) so I swapped them over and I swear the car idles better

Bosch super 4's

i read somewhere on here that flapper swears by NGK's...
(... means ive started using them, good enough for flapper, good enough for me ...)

NGK's super 4's

On a 1.4 8v the difference in performance will be minute.....

running smoother will just be the fact that thy are new and not covered in crap

some could call me racist if you aint careful

not fitted standard to most manufacturers for nothing

used em road / race / beach / dragstrip in various machinery inc 2 wheels

only plugs ever to let me down racing were bosch/champion - went back to NGK and stayed there
