Default Spark plug tip

Most of you probably already know this. If you buy spark plugs for your car (especially your s2000) the four prong ones that auto zone likes to up sell are terrible. I decided to do plugs even though the previous owner had done them and i was livid when I found these. They can cause stumbling, idle issues, and damage the engine. The correct plug for this car is the NGK PFR7G-11S.

I had those on my car for a while and it was good. As a matter of fact, its still in my car. I had it since I last change the spark plugs like in 2010 or so. I hardly drive the s and its my wkend car. There's nothing abnormal or funny idling or damages at all. It ran good and strong. Mine's a ap1 btw.

Well actually I don't take great care of my car. There's nothing special. Just regular maintaince. I don't use any chemicals or injector cleaners or nothing of tat sore. I use chevron gas from the day I bought the car and do a few pulls to redline here and there. Tats about it. The plugs work great for me. I don't know how but my car is fine. Runs great n pulls hard like the same from day one.
