Today? 26.

I only need it for days that are sub-zero temps.

The cold plugs should be replaced for street driving. They only help when you are driving hard, like on a racetrack. I sent you a PM about my heated garage.
FYI - It was actually an e-mail... I responded but it bounced back from your mail host.

what is the idea behind colder plugs - does that mean they don't "spark" as hot or something

google says:

Colder spark plugs remove heat quicker, reducing the chance of pre-ignition/ detonation.

I say: because giles/scott told me to get them

Still not sure yet. I will get the tracking number tonight. In the past, because Majestic ships from RI I generally get parts in 1-2 days. I might get it as a Saturday delivery (usually before 1pm). Worst case I wont get it and will still come down to do the work on my brother's Si and get some wings
