I would like to buy Denso Iridium Spark Plugs (http://www.oakos.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=DENIK) PN: IK22 (One Heat Range Colder).

Can I get these cheaper than $50 shipped or find them locally for less?

I know Summit carries NGK iridium9, but I don't recall the price and stuff. Least it's local...

I don't think dumping money into the wagon will fix my problem (yellow wagon). I'm going down the path of YOGA. I will be one with my accelerater, light on my brakes and smooth with my clutch. Plus my YOGA teacher is hot. :lol:

Dude, didn't you beat my raw times at Stead both days...in a fat chick car?

I figured if a little trash talk would me fun and if you have to pick somebody to talk trash, who better than a person that can TALK ALOT.

Yeah, but I'm supposed to. Higher PAX... because they don't factor in pasenger weight. :( :lol:

Kevin M

On a really good day, I have something like 105 to the wheels. I think it's closer to 95 right now though. That motor is tired.

On my latest log at this elevation (65*F) I'm putting 200HP/210TQ to the wheels according to Ed's road dyno. So yah, pretty much.

Actually, my miata is a pretty heavy example of the species. 2540 pounds (me included) in Club Trial trim, 1/2 tank of gas.

Hmm, maybe covering the entire inner surfaces of my front doors with Dynomat Extreme wasn't the best idea then.

Really, that's slow. My RS made 200 to the wheels on west 4th street at 65*... ;)

What motor did you have in that bitch?

Kevin M
2006-06-08, 08:36 AM
EJ251 w/Cobb intake, Borla header, custom catback, and uhh, custom software. :D

You had 7 there before... so I was trying to find out but I can't find where the different numbers come from. Like I know I have an ej25x (x is da variable) and I've seen ej253, ej257, but I don't know what the last numbers mean. an ej251 is from a JDM car?

I know, horribly off topic, thought about taking it to pm but...meh.

Kevin M
2006-06-08, 09:00 AM
No, EJ251 is a stock RS EJ25. Phase II SOHC. EJ257 is the USDM turbo 2.5 motor. EJ253 is (I think) the Phase I DOHC motor.

Also, I'm being facetious.... I once made a 200 whp road dyno just to prove a point about reading dyno results to compare numbers. ;)

Dang, that was quick. They're here already. Now if my UP gaskets only get here by Friday, I'm going to have me some good old fun in the garage on Saturday.
