Which Spark Plugs for a 1992 NA

Post by Sugoi » Fri May 30, 2008 11:03 am

Hi There,

I figure that it is about time to replace the spark plugs, but do not know which brand or model to use. I do not even know what the stock ones are for it, and figure that someone might be able to tell me what these are, or if there is a better after market / upgrade option.

I was also wondering if I need to replace the spark plug leads or not? I have 170,000 km on the MX-5 and it is a 1.6 litre model, if that makes any difference.

Bye for now :D

The factoy recommended NGK plugs work just fine.
If you are using factory or budget aftermarket plug leads, prepare yourself for a case of chronic misfire...I was warned about this when I first got my car, but it was still a shock when it occured. A set of Repco Champion leads fixed the problem, but have since upgraded to some high performance Racing Beat leads which 'should' last longer.
NGK plug leads would seem to be a cost effective way to go....as advised - Ross at MX5 Mart can do plugs and leads...

NGK, BKR6E-11 or Platinum type BKR6EVX-11 i think,Can't go wrong with these ,Platinum are long life and the best to use.
