    An NGK '6' is the standard OEM heat range isn't it. How do they look after 60k km's - a bit worse for wear or pretty good? I was thinking that it might be worth a go going back to standard heat range (I've been a heat range colder since I bought the car) now that water injection is on there, at least for the street. Theoretically the combustion temps should have dropped with it operating.

    The current plugs have been in there since Gav did the stage 2 tune about 60,000k's ago (At around 105,000k's). When he took the old ones out which had also done around 60,000k's at the time he said they were pretty well finished but the car was still running fine. Currently the car is running fine but I have 4 new plugs sitting on my desk ready to go in. I've had the Stage 1 tune since 40,000k's.

    Yeah those. We replace them with BRK7E yesterday gapped to around 27 thou. Took us around 3hrs to get the oil filter out. It was completely stuck.
